Microsoft Azure was publicly announced in October of 2008 and started to take off in the mid-2010s. Over the last decade, Azure has seen a ton of growth and is now the second largest public cloud, second only to Amazon Web Services. With Azure, creating scalable solutions for genomics is a great use of all the cloud has to offer. From data lakes to machine learning, you can store, process, and analyze huge quantities of genomics data using Azure services with ease. In this chapter, I’ll introduce you to the basics of Azure along with some core cloud concepts. We’ll then cover some of the basics about how your Azure environment is organized and what the different categories of services are. Plus, I’ll walk through how to get setup with an Azure account and how to navigate the Azure Portal. This chapter speaks generally about cloud concepts, but we’ll focus on the Azure cloud specifically for the entire book. Next up, let’s go over a bit of background about the cloud as this will help you understand how parts of the bioinformatics workflow fit within a cloudbased environment. At the end of the chapter, we’ll also cover some basics of the bioinformatics workflow just to get everyone up to speed with file formats and analyses common in this field.
