Occam's Razor is the principle that "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity" and the conclusion thereof, that the simplest explanation or strategy tends to be the best one. (See Wikipedia)
The simplest constructs for cloud computing are storage and processing. These 2 basic services are consumed by any number of Internet-connected clients, often described as the '3 screens' of PC, Mobile, and TV.
In Azure, the storage construct is sub-categorized into it's simplest components of Table, Blob (file), and Queue storage. Processing is sub-categorized as either a 'Web Role' or a 'Worker Role'.
Compositions may utilize these native constructs in any combination. A web role may work independently or utilize table storage. A client may directly access cloud storage or a processing service.
These 5 basic constructs can be arranged in 120 different combinations (5! factorial). When designed to be stateless, basic compositions can be scaled by adding additional storage or processing resources on-demand.
