Introduction Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform offering a wide range of services for building, deploying, and managing applications through Microsoft’s global network of data centers. It provides infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS) solutions that help organizations meet business challenges while reducing capital […]

Introduction Azure Functions is Microsoft’s serverless computing service that enables you to run event-triggered code without provisioning or managing infrastructure. This service allows developers to focus on writing code that matters to their business rather than maintaining servers, making it ideal for microservices, background processing, scheduled tasks, and event-driven applications. Core Concepts Concept Description Function

Introduction: Command-Line Management for Azure Resources The Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) is Microsoft’s cross-platform command-line tool for managing Azure resources. It allows administrators, developers, and DevOps professionals to execute commands through a terminal using interactive command-line prompts or scripts. Azure CLI provides the flexibility to manage resources from any environment that supports command-line interfaces, making

Introduction: Automated Machine Learning in Azure Azure Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is a capability that automates the time-consuming, iterative tasks of machine learning model development. It enables data scientists, analysts, and developers to build high-quality models with greater efficiency while ensuring model explainability. AutoML democratizes the machine learning process with an easy-to-understand interface that simplifies

Introduction: The Foundation of Microsoft Cloud Identity Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft’s cloud-based identity and access management service. It serves as the control center for user authentication, application access, and security policies across Microsoft 365, Azure resources, and thousands of integrated applications. Understanding Entra ID is essential for secure and efficient

Introduction: AWS Shared Responsibility Model AWS operates under a shared responsibility model where AWS manages security of the cloud (infrastructure, hardware, software), while customers are responsible for security in the cloud (data, configurations, access management). This cheatsheet provides comprehensive security controls across all major AWS security domains to help you fulfill your responsibilities. AWS Responsibilities

Introduction: Why IAM Is Your AWS Security Foundation AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is the control system for your entire AWS infrastructure, governing who can access what resources and how. Proper IAM configuration is critical for security, compliance, and operational efficiency. IAM operates on the principle of least privilege, ensuring users and services have

Introduction: AWS Core Services Foundation Amazon Web Services offers hundreds of cloud services, but five form the backbone of most cloud architectures: EC2 for compute, S3 for storage, RDS for managed databases, Lambda for serverless functions, and VPC for networking. Mastering these services provides the foundation for building scalable, reliable, and cost-effective cloud applications. EC2

Introduction: Why AWS Cost Management Matters AWS offers powerful cloud computing services, but costs can quickly spiral without proper management. Effective AWS cost optimization can reduce cloud spending by 30-50% while maintaining performance. This cheatsheet provides actionable strategies to identify waste, implement savings, and build a cost-conscious cloud culture. Core Cost Management Principles Principle Description
