Here are a few major Azure services grouped by category:

Services for computing  

• Virtual Machine

• Cloud Service
  This service allows you to create scalable cloud applications. Azure takes care of everything, including provisioning, load balancing, and health monitoring, once the application is deployed. 

• Service Fabric
  The development of microservices can be greatly simplified with service fabric. Microservices are smaller applications that have been bundled together.

• Functions
  Allows creating applications in any programming language. The best part of this service is that you do not have to worry about hardware requirements for developing applications, since Azure takes care of that. Just submitting the code will suffice.

Services for Networking
