Azure
Narrower than Cloud: AWS on purpose - AWS still dominates the Python backend roles this repo targets. What is here covers the services Azure job descriptions actually name, at the depth an interview goes to.
| File | Covers |
|---|---|
| Azure for an AWS-shaped brain | the service map and AWS equivalents |
| Azure compute: App Service, Functions, Container Apps | App Service, Functions, Container Apps, slots, cold starts |
| Key Vault, Storage and managed identity | managed identity, Key Vault, Blob Storage, SAS tokens |
| Bicep and infrastructure as code on Azure | Bicep vs Terraform, what-if, deployment modes |
| Application Insights and Azure AI Search | OpenTelemetry, sampling, KQL, hybrid retrieval |
The through-line worth carrying into an interview: managed identity is the answer to most Azure credential questions, and Azure’s distinctive pieces against AWS are the resource group, the storage account as a throughput boundary, and Entra ID sitting under everything.
