Abstract:

Cloud computing which presents users with a flexible avenue and broad network access to a range of configurable computing resources - from servers to storage, applications, services, and networks. It is distinctive from the traditional models due to its scalability, as well as the capabilities (such as on-demand self-service, broad network access, rapid elasticity, measured service provision and resource) that it enshrines. This is the reason cloud computing has been embraced and leveraged on across various industries. And, with the different deployment models that are available, there seems to be cloud service that can be utilized by virtually everyone. But despite its numerous advantages, cloud platforms are not without challenges, particularly with respect to security. The objective of this thesis is to explore Microsoft Azure environment. The bachelor thesis begins by researcher laying a foundation with reference to the related studies that have been done in this area. The different architectural frameworks present in MS Azure are discussed. Subsequently, attention is given to the application services provided by MS Azure.
