In Azure architecture choosing the right azure service is half the job done. Here goes the list

Lift and shift current app to cloud → Virtual machine
Simple app without orchestrator → Container Instances
Complex app with orchestrator → Container services (AKS)
Run Orchestrated microservices→Service fabrics
Repetitive jobs on massive scale → Batch
Host web application → Web App
Automate one step of a process → Functions
Automate a complete process → Logic App
Store relational data → Azure Sql server or Azure MySql or Azure Postgresql or Azure Maria Db
Store Non Relational data with API to access the data → Cosmos Db
Store OLAP relational data → Azure sql data warehouse
Store OLAP non-relational data → Azure data lake store
Send message to one subscriber and could get a message back → Service Bus Queue
Send message to multiple subscriber and could get a message back → Service Bus Topics
Send Discrete data which does not happen continually → Event Grid
Send continuous stream of data related to each other → Event Hub
Send Notification to many devices over different protocols → Notification Hub
Send and receive message to IOT devices → Azure IOT Hub
Send real time communication → Azure SignalR Service
Scale HTTP app for globally distributed users → Azure front door
Scale Non HTTP app(UDP , Signal R) for globally distributed users → Azure traffic manager
Access data that changes little → Azure Cache for Redis
Application with Audio/Video/Images/Static file heavy → Azure CDN
