Consumption-based model
No upfront costs
No need to purchase and manage costly infrastructure
Pay for additional resources when they are needed
Stop paying for resources that are no longer needed
Types of expenses
Capital Expenditure (CapEx)
Anmerkungen:
is the up front spending of money on physical infrastructure, and then deducting that up front expense over time. The up front cost from CapEx has a value that reduces over time.
Operational Expenditure (OpEx)
Anmerkungen:
is spending money on services or products now and being billed for them now. You can deduct this expense in the same year you spend it. There is no up front cost, as you pay for a service or product as you use it.

Azure management groups
10,000 management groups can be supported in a single directory.
A management group tree can support up to six levels of depth. (This limit doesn't include the Root level or the subscription level.)
Each management group and subscription can only support one parent.
Each management group can have many children.
All subscriptions and management groups are within a single hierarchy in each directory.

Resource Manager
Benefits
Manage your infrastructure through declarative templates rather than scripts.
Deploy, manage, and monitor all the resources for your solution as a group, rather than handling these
resources individually.
Redeploy your solution throughout the development lifecycle and have confidence your resources are
deployed in a consistent state.
Define the dependencies between resources so they're deployed in the correct order.
Apply access control to all services because Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is natively integrated
into the management platform.
Apply tags to resources to logically organize all the resources in your subscription.
Clarify your organization's billing by viewing costs for a group of resources sharing the same tag.

Big Data and Analytics
Azure Synapse Analytics
Anmerkungen:
Azure Synapse Analytics (formerly Azure SQL Data Warehouse) is a limitless analytics service that brings together enterprise data warehousing and Big Data analytics. Azure Synapse gives you the freedom to query data on your terms, using either serverless or provisioned resources at scale. Azure Synapse brings these two worlds together with a unified experience to ingest, prepare, manage, and serve data for immediate BI and machine learning needs.
Enterprise data warehousing and Big Data analytics
Azure HDInsight
Anmerkungen:
Azure HDInsight is a fully managed, open-source analytics service for enterprises. It is a cloud service that makes it easier, faster, and more cost-effective to process massive amounts of data. HDInsight allows you to run popular open-source frameworks and create cluster types such as Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Apache Kafka, Apache HBase, Apache Storm, Machine Learning Services. HDInsight also supports a broad range of scenarios such as extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL); data warehousing; machine learning; and IoT.
Azure Databricks helps you unlock insights from all your data and build artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. You can set up your Apache Spark™ environment in minutes, then autoscale and collaborate on shared projects in an interactive workspace. Azure Databricks supports Python, Scala, R, Java, and SQL, as well as data science frameworks and libraries including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and scikit-learn.

Azure Data Lake Analytics
Anmerkungen:
Azure Data Lake Analytics is an on-demand analytics job service that simplifies big data. Instead of deploying, configuring, and tuning hardware, you write queries to transform your data and extract valuable insights. The analytics service can handle jobs of any scale instantly by setting the dial for how much power you need. You only pay for your job when it is running, making it more cost-effective.
