difference between cloud agility and cloud elasticity?
Agility is the ability to react quickly. Cloud services can allocate and deallocate resources quickly. They are provided on-demand via self-service, so vast amounts of computing resources can be provisioned in
minutes. There is no manual intervention in provisioning or deprovisioning services. Elasticity is the ability to automatically or dynamically increase or decrease resources as needed. Elastic resources match
the current needs, and resources are added or removed automatically to meet future needs when it’s needed, and from the most advantageous geographic location.
What is an Availability Set?

how does the resource group work?
A Resource Group is a unit of management for your resources in Azure. You can think of your resource group as a container that allows you to aggregate and manage all the resources required for your
application in a single manageable unit. This allows you to manage the application collectively over its lifecycle, rather than manage components individually.
Resource group name can be same for different Virtual Networks?
Resource groups are used as a management tool, a logical container to group all your related Azure resources in one single place.
Can you please list some example of PaaS & SaaS services?
PaaS: Azure App Service, Azure IoT Hub, Azure SQL Database, Azure Machine Learning, Azure Synapse Analytics, anything that is a managed service. SaaS: Microsoft Teams, Slack, Netflix, Spotify, Skype,
anything that is a fully software service.
what is difference between Containers and VM ? and which one is best service ?
Virtual machines (VMs) are emulations of a physical server or machine each running its own independent operating system. Virtual machines rely on a virtualization layer that runs on the physical server
hardware. This virtualization layer schedules hardware resources than can be shared amongst the virtual machines running on the physical server. Containers wraps applications and/or data into container
images that can be deployed in any environment as long as it hosts the correct container engine. The container engine is installed at the operating system level and schedules operating system resources to
be shared amongst the containers.
