Both servers and software development use Linux. Today, Linux distributions are used by the vast majority of electronics and embedded systems. Worldwide, Linux servers make up about 90% of all internet servers. Additionally, the Linux kernel is used by around 80% of all smartphones. Today, every system in the world is linked via a network. Information exchange across systems requires network connectivity. Computer networking refers to communication over the internet as well as within a network.

Modern applications are a web of interdependent services. As applications grow in size and complexity, and as more engineering teams adopt service-based architectures like microservices, this web becomes deeper and denser. Eventually, keeping track of the interdependencies between services becomes a complex and time-consuming task in and of itself. In addition, if any of these dependencies fails, it can have cascading impacts on the rest of your services and on the application as a whole.

In the fast-growing Azure space, it is essential to scale your business as Azure scales up. Azure is cost efficient by providing a pay-as-you-go model, but it is still necessary for enterprise users to undergo a Cost Analysis to keep their budget at stack.
