Deploy & Manage Compute — MOC

MS Learn path: Deploy and manage Azure compute resources · From traditional VMs to serverless — the full compute spectrum.

Map / Canvas

The core idea

Compute is where your workloads run. Pick the right model: VMs (full control, IaaS) vs App Service (PaaS web apps) vs containers/AKS vs Functions (serverless). Administrators spend much time on VMs: sizes, disks, availability, declarative templates, and scaling.

Concepts (linked from here)

Virtual machines

Infrastructure as Code

Platform as a Service

Containers
