    * Why is cloud computing typically cheaper to use?
    
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the internet by using a pay-as-you-go pricig model. You typically pay only for the cloud services you use, which helps you:

    * Lower your operating costs.
    * Run your infrastructure more efficiently.
    * Scale as your business needs change.

What is serverless computing?
Overlapping with PaaS, serverless computing enables developers to build applications faster by eliminating the need for the to manage infrastructure. With serverless applications, the cloud service provider automatically provisions, scales, and manages the infrastructure required to run the code. Serverless architectures are highly scalable and event-driven. They use resources only when a specific function or trigger occurs.

## Arquitetura de nuvem da Azure #1
* Infraestrutura global da Azure
Azure global infrastructure is made up of two key componentes: 
physical infrastructure and connective network compontes.
The physical component is comprised of 160+ physical datacenters, arranged into regions, and linked by one of the largest interconnected networks on the planet.

* Terminology
    * Geography
    * Region
    * Availability Zone
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/geographies/

* Regions / Avalability Zone
    * Avalability zones are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region. Each availability zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independente power, cooling, and networkng. An availability zone is set up to be an isolation boundary. If one zone goes down, the other continues working. Availability zones are connected through high-speed, private fiber-optic networks.
    * Availability zones are created by using one or more datacenters. There's a minimum of three zones within a single region.

* Componentes da infraestrutura
 
* Pares de regiões e marketplace
    * Azure region pairs
    Each Azure region is always paired with another region within the same geography (such as US, Europe, or Asia) at least 300 miles away. This approach allows for the replication of resources (such as VM storage) across a geography that helps reduce the likelihood of interruptions because of events such as natural disasters, civil unrest, power outages, or physical network outages that affect both regions at once. If a region in a pair was affected by a natural disater, for instance, services would automatically failover to the other region in its regions pair.
    
* Regiões na Azure
    * Azure Marketplace
    Azure Marketplace is an online catalog containing thousands of applications and services designed and optimized to run on Microsoft's Azure public cloud. Microsoft and its technology partners are responsible for developing the products and services you find on Azure Marketplace

## Load Balancer
* Azure Load Balancer operates at layer four of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It1s the single point of contact for clients. Load Balancer distributes indound flows that arrive at the load balancer's front end to backend pool instances. These flows are according to configured load balancing rules and health probes. The backend pool instances can be Azure virtual Machines or instances in a virtual machine scale set.

## Types of load balancer
* You can use internal load balancers to balance traffic form private IP addresses.
* Public load balancers can balance traffic originating from public IP addresses.

## Application Gateway
* Application Gateway can make routing decisions based on additional atributes of an HTTP request, for example URI path or host headers. For example, you can route traffic based on the incoming URL. So if/images is in the icoming URL, you can route traffic to a specific set of servers (known as a pool) configured for images. If / video is in the URL, that traffic is routed to another pool that's optimized for videos  


https://docs.microsoft.com/pt-br/azure/application-gateway/features
