LAMP

A LAMP stack is a popular open-source web development framework consisting of Linux (operating system), Apache (web server), MySQL (database), and PHP (programming language). It provides a complete environment for building, deploying, and managing dynamic websites and web applications.

Components of a LAMP stack
Linux: The operating system that forms the foundation of the stack.
Apache: The web server software that handles requests from browsers and serves web pages.
MySQL: The relational database management system used to store and manage application data.
PHP: The server-side scripting language that processes data, interacts with the database, and generates the content to be sent to the user’s browser.

Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is an open and flexible cloud computing platform that provides a wide range of over 200 products and services, including computing, storage, networking, databases, and artificial intelligence. It allows businesses to build, run, and manage applications and services without needing to maintain their own physical data centers, using Microsoft’s global network of data centers instead. This model allows for scaling resources up or down as needed and paying only for what is used.
