Cloud Computing using Microsoft Azure for Dummies

So what is this Cloud Computing ? “Cloud computing, also known as 'on-demand computing', is a kind of Internet-based computing, where shared resources, data and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand” [ Wikipedia ] Since a few years, and especially thanks to the worldwide Globalization , the amount of data exchanged over the Internet has been growing exponentially, bringing into the game some new paradigm such as Big Data , which challenged the existing hardware and infrastructure at every level.
