Azure Virtualization and Services Concepts

This video tutorial covers Azure compute services, including virtual machines, scale sets, containers, Kubernetes, app services, and functions. It explains virtualization, containerization, and serverless computing, highlighting their use cases and benefits. The tutorial also provides practical steps for creating and managing these services in Azure, emphasizing scalability, control, and maintenance considerations.

What is the primary benefit of using virtualization in Azure compute services?

• It eliminates the need for an operating system.

• It provides a sandbox environment for each application.

• It reduces the need for physical servers.

• It allows multiple applications to share the same operating system.

Which of the following is a key feature of Azure Virtual Machines?

• Automatic scaling of resources

• Built-in load balancing

• No need for an operating system

• Full control over the operating system

What is a major advantage of using Virtual Machine Scale Sets?

• They require no maintenance.

• They do not require an operating system.

• They allow for horizontal scaling.

• They are cheaper than virtual machines.

How do containers differ from virtual machines in Azure?

• Containers use the host operating system.

• Containers cannot be used for web applications.

• Containers are heavier than virtual machines.

• Containers replicate the operating system for each instance.

What is the primary use case for Azure Kubernetes Service?

• Running small, simple web applications

• Hosting enterprise-grade web applications

• Managing high-scale, customizable container deployments

• Running batch processing jobs

Which Azure service is best suited for hosting enterprise-grade web applications?

• Azure Container Instances

• Azure App Services

• Azure Virtual Machines

• Azure Functions

What is a key feature of Azure Functions?

• They do not support auto-scaling.

• They require a dedicated server.

• They are designed for large-scale applications.

• They offer a consumption-based pricing model.

Which Azure service is often referred to as 'serverless'?

• Azure App Services

• Azure Kubernetes Service

• Azure Functions

• Azure Virtual Machines

What is the main advantage of using Azure Functions for small pieces of code?

• They provide full control over the hardware.

• They require no maintenance.

• They can scale from zero to 200 servers.

• They are cheaper than other services.

Which Azure service is best for building nanoservices?

• Azure Kubernetes Service

• Azure Functions

• Azure App Services

• Azure Virtual Machines
