    “Expanding Knowledge, Solving Problems, and Helping Users with Their Needs”
    It covers the three main cloud delivery models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), where users manage the operating system and applications while Azure handles the infrastructure; Platform as a Service (PaaS), which offers a managed runtime environment for applications; and Software as a Service (SaaS), where users only manage the application itself.
