Azure Services refer to the vast array of cloud computing services and solutions offered by Microsoft Azure, one of the leading cloud platforms in the world. These services encompass a wide range of functionalities, including computing, storage, databases, networking, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, analytics, Internet of Things (IoT), DevOps, and more. Azure Services enable organizations to build, deploy, and manage applications and infrastructure in the cloud. Here are some key categories of Azure Services:

1. Compute Services:

   • Azure Virtual Machines (VMs), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Functions for running applications and workloads.

2. Storage Services:

   • Azure Blob Storage, Azure Files, Azure Tables, and Azure Disk Storage for managing and storing data.

3. Databases:

   • Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB, and Azure Cache for Redis for various database needs.

4. Networking:

   • Azure Virtual Network, Azure Load Balancer, Azure VPN Gateway, and Azure ExpressRoute for network infrastructure and connectivity.

5. AI and Machine Learning:

   • Azure Machine Learning, Azure Cognitive Services, and Azure Bot Service for building AI-powered applications.

6. Developer and DevOps Tools:

   • Azure DevOps Services, Azure DevTest Labs, and Azure Dev Spaces for application development and DevOps.

7. Security and Identity:

   • Azure Active Directory, Azure Security Center, and Azure Key Vault for identity and access management, security, and encryption.

8. Analytics and Big Data:

   • Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly SQL Data Warehouse), Azure Data Lake Storage, and Azure Databricks for data analytics and processing.

9. IoT:
