- [Voiceover] Hi, this is David Isbitski
and welcome to Up and Running with Azure.
In this course I will give you the fundamentals
of what cloud computing is and what Microsoft's
Azure platform can do for you.
I'll start off by showing you how to set up
the free development environment,
and then I will walk you through the sign-up process.
Next, we'll take a look at the Azure Portal itself.
I'll show off Azure's new IaaS offering,
or Infrastructure as a Service, with Azure Virtual Machines.
Then we'll create a scalable website using Azure Web Sites.
We'll take a look at Azure Mobile Services,
a new offering that allows structured storage,
push notifications, and a complete
API set for your mobile apps,
and we'll see Cloud Services in action.
Then we'll cover Data Services,
where we will look at SQL, table and blob storage,
and finally we'll take a look at App Services,
and tie it all together with a five node cloud service,
that has both web and worker roles,
communicating through a Service Bus message queue,
and saving all of that to storage.
So sit back, strap in, and get ready
to be up and running with Azure.
