Azure AZ-140 knowledge expansion
Preface:
First of all, you need to know some common Azure computing services, such as:
- Azure Virtual Machines (Azure VM), Azure Virtual Machine
- Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS), Azure’s virtual machine scale set
- Azure Container Instances (ACI), Azure’s container service
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure’s container orchestration service

Azure Virtual Machine (VM)
1.1 Introduction to Virtualization
Before introducing Azure VM, let’s briefly introduce virtualization technology in general. Assuming you have a physical server, the first step is to install the operating system and configure some system components, such as file systems, services, ports, and other settings. If you want to run multiple applications on this physical machine, you need to install these applications on the same operating system. However, in this case, these applications share the same file system, services, ports, or other configurations and may conflict. Therefore, virtualization technology emerged as the times required, which can avoid these problems.
When using virtualization technology, you need to install the operating system and virtualization software on the physical machine. Virtualization software allows you to create virtual machines that act like simulated physical machines and require their operating systems. You can host applications independently on each virtual machine’s operating system, and what those applications do on the system won’t affect applications in other virtual machines because they all run in separate virtual environments. This provides complete isolation, allowing you to virtualize multiple physical machines on a single physical machine, each with its own virtual hardware configuration and operating system.
So, virtualization is simply simulating multiple physical machines on a physical machine, allowing you to create different virtual hardware configurations and application settings for each virtual machine, and install a different operating system for each virtual machine. Now let’s discuss Azure VM further.
1.1.1 Key characteristics of virtualization technology
Here is a summary of several key features of virtualization technology (knock on the blackboard):
- It is a simulation technology of physical machines
- Can have different virtual hardware configurations
- Can have different operating systems
- The environment is completely separate
- File system
- Serve
- port
- middleware
- configuration etc.
1.2 Virtual machines in Azure (Azure VM)
Azure Virtual Machine (VM) is a cloud-based computing resource that allows users to use virtualization technology to create and manage virtual machines in the cloud without caring about the underlying operating system and hardware. Users only need to select the required virtual machine configuration, such as CPU, memory, storage, and network, and then install their own applications and operating systems in the virtual machine to easily run their own workloads. Azure VM provides preconfigured images for a variety of operating systems and applications. Users can choose the most appropriate image to create a virtual machine according to their needs, thus greatly simplifying the management and deployment of virtual machines. Therefore, Azure VM greatly improves user productivity and reduces management and maintenance costs.
In Azure VM, Microsoft will prepare virtual machine images (Images), such as OS images for Ubuntu, Windows, Oracle, etc. Of course, you can also choose your own image and then create a VM.
The topology diagram of the service is as follows:
1.2.1 Knowledge points on key features of Azure VM
The following summarizes the key knowledge points of Azure VM (virtual machine) (typing on the blackboard is important, and will be tested in the exam)
- Azure VM (Virtual Machine) belongs to the IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) level service model
- Azure VM (Virtual Machine) is a software simulation of a physical computer.
- They include virtual processors, memory, storage, and network resources.
- They host an operating system (OS), and you can install and run software just like a physical computer.
- You can connect to the VM and control it using a remote desktop client.
- When choosing Azure VM you have the following requirements:
- Complete control over the operating system
- Requires the ability to run custom software
- Use a custom host configuration
- Azure takes care of the physical hardware
- You are responsible for configuring, updating, and maintaining the software running on the VM.
- An image is a template used to create a virtual machine.
- This includes operating systems and other software such as development tools or web hosting environments.
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS)
2.1 Understanding Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets
Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets (Virtual Machine Scale Sets) is an Azure service that allows users to quickly create and manage large-scale virtual machine clusters. Virtual machine scale sets provide a convenient way for users to easily expand the number of virtual machines to meet the high availability and performance needs of applications.
Virtual machine scale sets are based on virtual machine templates. Users can configure the virtual machine template according to their own needs, and then use the template to create multiple virtual machine instances. Virtual machine scale sets also provide an automatic scaling function that can automatically adjust the number of virtual machines according to actual workload conditions, thereby avoiding resource waste and performance bottlenecks.
The topology diagram of the service is as follows:
2.2 Knowledge points on key features of Azure virtual machine scale set
The following summarizes the key knowledge points of virtual machine scale sets (typing on the blackboard is important, and will be tested in the exam)
- Allows you to create and manage a group of identical, load-balanced virtual machines.
- Centrally manage, configure, and update a large number of virtual machines to provide highly available applications.
- The number of virtual machine instances can be automatically increased or decreased based on demand or a defined schedule.
- Helps you build large-scale services for areas such as computing, big data, and container workloads.
- High availability is provided through zone or multiple availability partition deployment options.
Azure Container Instance (ACI)
3.1 Introduction to containers
Containers are a virtualization technology that allows users to package applications and all their dependencies into an independent running environment, thereby enabling rapid deployment and portability of applications on different platforms and environments. Containers package an application and all its dependencies into a single package and provide an isolated runtime environment in which the application can run without being affected by the underlying operating system and hardware.
Unlike traditional virtual machines, containers do not require full operating system support because they share the operating system kernel. This makes containers more lightweight and efficient, starting and stopping faster. In addition, containers provide a standardized deployment method so that applications can run more stably and reliably in different environments.
Container technology has now become an important technology in the development and operation and maintenance fields. By using containers, developers can build, test, and deploy applications more quickly, and operation and maintenance personnel can more easily manage and maintain the application’s running environment, thereby improving the reliability, scalability, and flexibility of the application.
For more information about the comparison between virtual machines and containers, please refer to my previous blog post: [Cloud Native | Containers] Overview of Containers and Docker in Virtualization Technology
The topology diagram of the service is as follows:
3.2 Understanding Azure Container Instances
Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a container-oriented computing service provided by Azure that allows users to easily run Docker containers in the cloud without having to manage underlying infrastructure such as virtual machines or container orchestration engines.
