Azure services - what are the actual use cases?

Navigation

I do not know if this question is within the scope of SOpt, if you do not ask me to tell me to delete it or tell me how to improve it. I'm developing RESTful services with ASP.NET WebAPI and single page applications and so I researched Windows Azure is a good option to put it all on the internet.

The only problem is that I do not understand how to choose what to hire there on the site. I researched a lot and could not find out, so I decided to ask. Basically, when I access the price calculator I have these options

I'mstartingnowontheazureandIdonotknowhowthis"pay what you use" thing works for, because everything separated so I'm not sure what to choose.

In this case, what are the actual use cases of each of these categories and in which of them is RESTful APIs, SPA's and etc.

The answer is that you can host both cloud services (web role) and web sites. There are some features that only work in cloud services ex:

-vpn for your company network, for example.

Another cool thing about cloud services. You have two environments (staging / production), that is, you can publish a new version of api in staging, and after being approved, "turn the key" to production. As deployment will already be in the azure datacenter, it is simpler and faster to publish the same version in production.

Obviously there is a small variation in cost.

In summary I think this is it, the two options adenm.
