All of the following are the three main components of Windows Azure Platform except...
- A.
Compute
- B.
Storage
- C.
Savepower
- D.
AppFabric
Correct Answer
C. SavepowerExplanation
The correct answer is "Savepower" because the Windows Azure Platform consists of three main components: Compute, Storage, and AppFabric. Compute refers to the processing power and resources needed to run applications, while Storage provides a scalable and durable storage solution. AppFabric is a set of services that enable applications to connect and communicate with each other. However, "Savepower" is not a component of the Windows Azure Platform and does not exist in its offerings.Rate this question:
