Open source in a nutshell• A project started out to solve a “common” problem
• Shared publicly for “others” to join in
• Add features, fix bugs or write documentation
• Free to use by others
• For private purposes (blog, website, book collection)
• For business purposes (CRM, ERP, CMS, website)
Open source is flexible• Many developers found on the market (job positions)
• Many contributors to the project (continuation)
• Support by big companies (e.g. Microsoft)
Open source is a mindset, fueled by passion and dedication to share great ideas.
— Michelangelo van Dam

What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure in a nutshell• A cloud solution by Microsoft to solve a “common” problem
• Easy to get started with
• Host a website, manage an API, process video or data
• Comes with a series of services
• For private purposes (blog, website, book collection)
• For business purposes (CRM, ERP, CMS, API, Mobile, IoT)
Microsoft Azure is flexible• Runs your apps as PaaS, SaaS or Iaas
• Scales up when demand requires more power

Microsoft Azure is the cloud provider every developer dreams of.
