Azure has a TON of “resources”, but you probably won’t use most of them. To get started, you’ll want to install the Azure CLI.
The most popular resources are: Storage account (which includes table, queue features as well), Key Vault and App Service (think of it as a shared VM that hosts your backend web applications).
Azure also has VM resources if you need a cloud dev environment or want to deploy your web application with some custom database.
App services and VMs can be assigned a “managed service identity” (MSI), which is used behind the scenes so that you don’t have to authenticate to the storage account/key vault without having to deal with storing secrets.
