Lets start Azure
In the past, companies built their own data centers with servers, storage, and databases for projects. This was expensive and slow because IT staff had to set up everything manually. The cloud is a game-changer! With cloud computing, you can rent these resources on-demand, just like turning on a light switch, and only pay for what you use. Cloud platforms like Azure provide a user-friendly console to manage these resources specific to your project's needs. This course will equip you with the skills to navigate the Azure console and become a master of its resources.
