| Azure Virtual Machines | Windows or Linux virtual machines (VMs) hosted in Azure. |
| Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets | Scaling for Windows or Linux VMs hosted in Azure. |
| Azure Kubernetes Service | Cluster management for VMs that run containerized services. |
| Azure Service Fabric | Distributed systems platform that runs in Azure or on-premises. |
| Azure Batch | Managed service for parallel and high-performance computing applications. |
| Azure Container Instances | Containerized apps run on Azure without provisioning servers or VMs. |
