Summary

With that, we have completed our first chapter. If it was too overwhelming for you, don't worry – this chapter was just meant to provide an overview of Azure. By the time you complete the next few chapters, your confidence will increase. On the other hand, if this chapter was easy for you, then you are probably already aware of some level of cloud technologies, and the next set of chapters should also be easy for you.

Now that you have completed this chapter, you should know how to navigate the Azure portal. You now understand the relationship between Azure accounts, subscriptions, resource groups, and resources. You also know how to create new VMs, Storage instances, VNets, and so on using both the Azure portal and the CLI. You are also aware of the major compute services that are available in Azure. With this foundational knowledge in place, we can move on to more interesting and certification-oriented topics.

We will be exploring Azure storage technologies in the next chapter.
