Azure compute is an on-demand computing service for running cloud-based applications. It provides computing resources like multi-core processors and supercomputers via virtual machines and containers. It also provides serverless computing to run apps without requiring infrastructure setup or configuration. The resources are available on-demand and can typically be created in minutes or even seconds. You pay only for the resources you use and only for as long as you’re using them.
With so many compute service offerings from Azure, it’s hard to know which one is the right candidate for your workloads—especially when you’re new to the cloud arena.
With so many options in the rapidly changing public cloud offerings and limited digital transformation skills, companies are finding challenges in choosing the right Azure compute service to fit their workloads.
Choosing the right candidate service
The following flowchart will help you to choose a compute service for your application.
The output from this flowchart is a starting point for consideration. Next, perform a more detailed evaluation of the service to see if it meets your needs. Choosing the right Azure compute services is important for long-term success in the cloud—plan your strategy out first, and then execute.
If your application consists of multiple workloads, evaluate each workload separately. A complete solution may incorporate two or more compute services.
