Azure Cloud Architect Learning Path

Cloud can be described in simple terms as the provision of software applications and databases, run on virtual servers managed by a provider, and accessed by multiple users using the Internet.

Microsft Azure is the second largest provider of cloud computing solutions, after AWS. There are reportedly around 0.5M customers worldwide, and a recent survey revealed that Azure has a slightly higher adoption rate amongst moderate and light cloud use customers.
