Aspect | Description |
What is Azure PaaS? | Azure PaaS provides a cloud platform allowing developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without worrying about underlying infrastructure. It offers managed environments, scaling, and integration tools to accelerate development. |
Pricing Model | Pay-as-you-go: You pay only for the resources and services you actually consume, often based on compute time, storage, or transactions. Some services also have tiered pricing (Free, Basic, Standard, Premium) accommodating different workloads. |
Scalability | Services provide automatic or manual scaling options—such as scaling out (adding instances) or scaling up (increasing resources). Many services support autoscaling based on demand and can handle large volumes of data or requests dynamically. |
Security | Built-in features include encryption at rest and in transit, network isolation (VNet integration), firewall rules, DDoS protection, and compliance with standard certifications (ISO, GDPR, HIPAA). Supports private endpoints for enhanced security. |
IAM (Identity and Access Management) | Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) allows granular permission assignments to users/groups. Managed Identities enable secure access to other Azure resources without managing credentials. Integration with Azure Active Directory offers centralized authentication. |
Deployment Models | Azure Resource Manager (ARM) model enables declarative infrastructure as code (IaC) deployments using templates or Bicep, supporting repeatable and automated deployments. Supports continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines with Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions. |
Ease of Use | Intuitive Azure portal UI, SDKs, CLI, and REST APIs with extensive documentation. Many services offer no-code/low-code options (e.g., Logic Apps). Supports multiple programming languages and frameworks. Managed services reduce operation overhead. |
