Unlock the power of Azure Virtual Machines (VMs)! As the core of Azure's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering, VMs give you full OS control for specialized software. We break down when to choose a VM (and why you're responsible for updates!). Plus, understand Azure's key scaling strategies: learn the difference between Virtual Machine Scale Sets (for automated, load-balanced groups) and Virtual Machine Availability Sets (for enhanced resilience across fault and update domains). Finally, explore practical uses, from testing and development to the 'lift and shift' of physical servers.https://learnazure4free.com/
