Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Azure SQL Database types


Azure SQL Database is available in three flavors:

  • Elastic database pools
  • Single databases
  • Managed instances

Elastic database pools

Elastic database pools are a great solution for managing multiple databases and scaling their performance according to the databases' needs, which means it is a good fit for databases with unpredictable usage demands, and this leads to a saving on credits. Elastic database pools share performance across many databases, since all of these databases are built on a single Azure SQL Database server.

Single databases

Single databases are a good fit for a set of databases with predictable performance, where the required resources for the databases are predetermined.

SQL database managed instance

This type allows you to run SQL Server with all the features of Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise in the cloud without needing to manage Windows VMs. It offers all the functionalities of Azure SQL Enterprise on Azure with the PaaS solution.
