Compute: VMs, App Service and Functions
Run applications on Azure compute services.
📖 Key ideas
- Azure Virtual Machines give full control (IaaS).
- App Service hosts web apps and APIs (PaaS).
- Azure Functions run serverless code on events.
- Container Apps and AKS run containers.
- Scale sets add VMs automatically.
💡 Real-life example: VMs are owning a car; App Service is a taxi; Functions are a ride-share for short trips.
