Hi, I’m Razvan. I’ve been writing code since 1998, podcasting since 2011, and building things for the web, the cloud, and a few clever devices in between. These days, I run Burzcast — a small, trusted software company focused on building custom solutions with a bit of AI, a lot of cloud, and plenty of care. We work with good people and interesting problems, usually for the long haul.

 
Starting your journey with Microsoft Azure doesn’t have to be intimidating. In this beginner’s guide, I walk through how to create your first Azure account, explain core cloud concepts, and highlight the powerful capabilities that make Azure a foundation for digital transformation. From scalable infrastructure and ready-to-use AI services to hybrid cloud flexibility and built-in compliance, Azure has it all—and we’ve built our public sites and major projects like Cluj Plus right on top of it.
In this article, I break down what Microsoft Azure really is, why cloud computing is transforming industries, and how Azure empowers businesses—from aerospace to healthcare—to scale securely and affordably. With built-in tools like Azure Copilot, low-cost entry points, and unmatched scalability, Azure isn’t just a platform—it’s a game-changer for companies ready to innovate.
Apple is more than technology; it’s an emotional experience—a seamless blend of art, design, and innovation that transcends functionality to create a profound connection with its users. From the moment you unbox an Apple product, it speaks to you through its meticulous craftsmanship, understated elegance, and intuitive simplicity, making it feel less like a tool and more like a companion. Rooted in a legacy of creativity and bold innovation, Apple’s products weave themselves into the fabric of our lives, marking personal milestones and fostering a sense of belonging to a community that values excellence. This is the magic of Apple: a brand that doesn’t just sell devices but inspires dreams, empowers creativity, and evokes an enduring sense of pride and aspiration.
