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

The Service Fabric advantage


Now that we understand what Service Fabric is, let's look at the advantages of using it as a platform to host Microservices.

As discussed in the earlier section in this chapter, Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform used to build hyperscalable, reliable, and easily managed applications for the cloud. The following figure mentioned in MSDN, provides a good overview of capabilities of Service Fabric as a hosting platform for Microservices:

Service Fabric features

Apart from the capabilities of Service Fabric to manage the application lifecycle for Microservices, the preceding diagram provides an important aspect of its ability to be deployed across heterogeneous environments. We will talk about this in detail in later sections of this chapter. Let's now dive deeper in to few of the key features of Service Fabric which make it an ideal platform to build a Microservice-based applications.

Highly scalable

Every Microservice hosted on Service Fabric can be scaled...
