▶What this book covers
⦁ Chapter 1, Getting Started with Azure Implementation, will help you understand how the basic services of Azure make up the core of an application running in Azure. We will also give the reader an idea as to how Azure influences Microsoft’s products and product strategy. We will explain the different Cloud Models and Multi Cloud strategies in conjunction with Microsoft Azure too.
⦁ Chapter 2, Azure Resource Manager and Tools, describes the Azure Resource Manager(ARM) concept, the ARM Tools Instrumentation and how it works. We show: Working with the Azure Portal and working with Azure PowerShell. Last, we will also describe the differences between classic deployment and ARM.
⦁ Chapter 3, Deploying and Synchronizing Azure Active Directory, will describe how to deploy Azure Active Directory, how to secure it for the next following steps and give some best practice advises when using Azure Active Directory together with other Microsoft Services like Office 365. Within the chapter we will describe how Azure Active Directory Synchronization could be implemented. We will give best practices which Synchronization method is the best for different environments. We will also explain how to secure and filter which accounts and attributes are synced.
⦁ Chapter 4, Implementing Azure Networks,in this chapter you will learn how to deploy and configure virtual networks in Azure and will get some best practice advises about working with subnets and network splitting. We will also provide an overview about routing in Azure and Network Devices in Azure.
⦁ Chapter 5, Implementing Azure Storage, in this chapter, you will get to know how to implement storage accounts in azure, the differences between accounts and give a brief overview about the different usage scenarios.
⦁ Chapter 6, Implementing Azure-Managed Kubernetes and Azure Container Service, will describe the general concept behind containers in Azure work, the need to have Kubernetes as an orchestrator, how AKS works and where Azure Managed Instances make sense, how they are created, deployed and managed.
⦁ Chapter 7, Azure Hybrid Data Center Services, will give the reader an overview how to implement Azure Hybrid Data Center Services using Azure Stack.
⦁ Chapter 8, Azure Web Apps Basics, covers one of Azure App Service, its different types, and how to work with them.
⦁ Chapter 9, Managing Azure Web Apps, covers some of the highly available solutions for Azure Web Apps in this chapter.
⦁ Chapter 10, Basics of Azure SQL Database, explores the Azure SQL Database, its types, and how to deploy it in Azure.
⦁ Chapter 11, Managing Azure SQL Database, covers other Azure SQL Database types and explains how to provide a highly available solution for them.
⦁ Chapter 12, Microservices 2013– Getting to Know the Buzzword, lays the foundation of concepts of Microservices and explores the scenarios, where Microservices are best suited for your application.
⦁ Chapter 13, Understanding Azure Service Fabric, explains the basic concepts and architecture of Azure Service Fabric.
⦁ Chapter 14, Hands-on with Service Fabric – Guest Executables, talks about building and deploying applications as Guest Executables on a Service Fabric cluster.
⦁ Chapter 15, Hands on with Service Fabric – Reliable Services, explains the concept of Reliable Services programming model for building Microservices hosted on Service Fabric.
⦁ Chapter 16, Reliable Actors, introduces Actor programming model on Service Fabric and the ways to build and deploy actors on a Service Fabric cluster.
⦁ Chapter 17, Microservices Architecture Patterns Motivation, provides an overview of the motivation behind driving Microservices architectural patterns. The chapter also talks about the classification of the patterns that are discussed in this book.
⦁ Chapter 18, Microservices Architectural Patterns, introduces a catalog of design patterns categorized by its application. Each design pattern explains the problem and the proven solution for that problem. The pattern concludes with considerations that should be taken while applying the pattern and the use cases where the pattern can be applied.
⦁ Chapter 19, Securing and Managing Your Microservices, will guide you on securing your Microservices deployment on a Service Fabric cluster.
⦁ Chapter 20, Diagnostics and Monitoring, covers how to set up diagnostics and monitoring in your Service Fabric application. You will also learn how to use Service Fabric Explorer to monitor the cluster.
⦁ Chapter 21, Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment, takes you through the process of deploying your Microservices application on a Service Fabric cluster using Visual Studio Team Services.
⦁ Chapter 22, Serverless Microservices, helps you understand the concept of Serverless Computing and building Microservices using Azure functions.
