I just stumbled across this recently. But I LOVE it!
It is very easy to get lost in the hundreds of Azure services and building blocks.

Of course, you get a lot of info from the Azure Service Directory:

Or the Azure Road Map:

In addition, the Azure Cost Calculator gives more info:

However, a full picture of everything is still missing. Meet the “Interactive Azure Platform Big Picture”. It was create by Ricardo Niepel (@RicardoNiepel) from Microsoft Germany. Check it out here:
