Video Abstract

This video discusses six options within the wide world of Microsoft Azure including Virtual Machines (IaaS), App Services (PaaS), Function Apps (FaaS), AKS (KaaS), Logic Apps (?aaS), and Service Fabric (PaaS). For each option, Keyhole Software Consultant Zach Gardner introduces the pros, cons, optimal use cases, and tips for success with each Azure approach based on his experience.

The Azure cloud platform is vast and it can be difficult to determine the best option given unique requirements. As consultants, we must understand the options available and determine the best way to structure our applications to fit well for the clients that we work with. This video attempts to break down what possible approaches developers can use on the Azure Cloud Platform.
