9. Azure Database for MySQL
Easily set up, manage, and scale Azure Database for MySQL. Automate the management and maintenance of your infrastructure and database server, including routine updates, backups, and security. Enjoy maximum control of MySQL database management with custom maintenance windows and multiple configuration parameters for fine-tuning with Flexible Server Preview.
10. Table Storage
You can use Azure Table storage to store petabytes of semi-structured data and keep costs down. Unlike many data stores—on-premises or cloud-based—Table storage lets you scale up without having to manually shard your dataset.
I showed you some AWSOME databases services to use, but I think we should at what Azure has on analytics!
11. Azure Analysis Services
Use Azure Resource Manager to create and deploy an Azure Analysis Services instance within seconds, and use backup restore to quickly move your existing models to Azure Analysis Services and take advantage of the scale, flexibility and management benefits of the cloud. Scale up, scale down, or pause the service and pay only for what you use.
12. Azure Data Lake Storage
Azure Data Lake is a cloud platform designed to support big data analytics. It provides unlimited storage for structured, semi-structured or unstructured data. It can be used to store any type of data of any size
13. Data Factory
Integrate all your data with Azure Data Factory—a fully managed, serverless data integration service. Visually integrate data sources with more than 90 built-in, maintenance-free connectors at no added cost. Easily construct ETL and ELT processes code-free in an intuitive environment or write your own code. Then deliver integrated data to Azure Synapse Analytics to unlock business insights.
15. Event Hubs
Event Hubs is a fully managed, real-time data ingestion service that’s simple, trusted, and scalable. Stream millions of events per second from any source to build dynamic data pipelines and immediately respond to business challenges. Keep processing data during emergencies using the geo-disaster recovery and geo-replication features.
I think we had enough time in the analytics section, I would really enjoy to see some stuff in the networking section!
16. Azure DNS
Azure DNS is a hosting service for DNS domains that provides name resolution by using Microsoft Azure infrastructure. By hosting your domains in Azure, you can manage your DNS records by using the same credentials, APIs, tools, and billing as your other Azure services.
17. Azure Firewall
Azure Firewall is a managed, cloud-based network security service that protects your Azure Virtual Network resources. It's a fully stateful firewall as a service with built-in high availability and unrestricted cloud scalability.

18. Network Watcher
Network Watcher provides you the ability to diagnose your most common VPN Gateway and Connections issues. Allowing you, not only, to identify the issue but also to use the detailed logs created to help further investigate.
19. Virtual WAN
Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that brings many networking, security, and routing functionalities together to provide a single operational interface. These functionalities include branch connectivity (via connectivity automation from Virtual WAN Partner devices such as SD-WAN or VPN CPE).
20. Load Balancer
Instantly scale your applications with Azure load balancing services for high availability and high performance. Get started with a quick needs assessment and load balancing recommendation—using the service selection tool.
I'm nearly done looking around. I think I should last check the AI + machine learning Section!
21. Azure Bot Services
