ConfigMgr in Azure

As you may already know, Azure is a public cloud computing platform created by Microsoft. There are three main categories of computers that Microsoft Azure offers, and they are as follows:

• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
• Platform as a service (PaaS)
• Software as a service (SaaS)

ConfigMgr in an IaaS model is simply a VM with the ConfigMgr application installed on it.

As for the PaaS model, there is no real scenario for ConfigMgr; however, the SaaS approach has its use case for ConfigMgr in the form of cloud-based distribution points.
