In this chapter, you learned about the Microsoft Cloud OS vision of Microsoft and how this is translated into real-world solutions. We discussed the various components of System Center. You also learned that there are two types of clouds and that Microsoft Azure is a "best effort" cloud. We also discussed license mobility and the restrictions, which are very important.
The next chapter will be the first in this book where we will take a closer look at the technical side of things, and you will learn about the architecture of Microsoft Azure.
