What is Microsoft Azure Used for?

Uses of Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure's use cases are quite diversified because it comprises multiple service offerings. Running virtual machines or containers in the cloud is one of Microsoft Azure's most common uses. These computational resources can run infrastructure components including domain name system (DNS), Windows Server services like Internet Information Services (IIS), or third-party apps. Third-party operating systems, such as Linux, are also supported by Microsoft.

Azure is also extensively utilized as a platform for cloud-based database hosting. Microsoft provides serverless relational databases like Azure SQL as well as non-relational databases like NoSQL. 

Furthermore, the platform is commonly used for disaster recovery and backup. Many businesses utilize Azure storage as an archive to satisfy their long-term data preservation obligations.

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?
