What is this?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud platform: compute, data, networking, identity, AI, and DevOps services you rent instead of buying servers. CloudVerse apps usually start on App Service or containers, then grow into AKS and messaging.
Why should you care?
Indian and global .NET teams host APIs and portals on Azure. Knowing the portal vocabulary stops expensive wrong-service choices.
See it live — copy this example
Use an Azure lab/free subscription. Prefer Azure CLI or Portal. Delete idle App Service plans, SQL DBs, and AKS clusters when practice is done.
# Azure CLI smoke check (after az login)
az account show --query name -o tsv
az group list -o tableWhat happened?
- az account show confirms which subscription you are using.
- Resource groups organize related resources.
Practice next
- Create a free Azure account or use a lab subscription.
- Install Azure CLI and run az login.
- List resource groups.
- Set a default location: az config set defaults.location=eastus
- Create an empty resource group for practice.
Remember
Azure = many services under one bill. Start with portal + CLI. Always know your subscription and region.
First CloudVerse RG
Team needs a sandbox for App Service experiments.
Outcome: You can open the right subscription and list groups.
