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

Deploying a Guest Executable


Service Fabric supports hosting packaged executables developed using .NET, Node.js, Java, or any similar programming languages. These executables are addressed as Guest Executables in the Service Fabric world. Although they are not developed using Service Fabric SDK, Service Fabric still ensures high availability and high-density deployment of Guest Executables on a cluster. Service Fabric is also capable of performing basic health monitoring for these executables and managing their application lifecycle.

Let's explore the details around the steps to be followed to deploy a Guest Executable on a Service Fabric cluster.

Understanding the manifests

Service Fabric uses two XML files - the Application Manifest and the Service Manifest for the purpose of packaging and deploying the applications. An application in Service Fabric is a unit of deployment. An application can be deployed, upgraded, or even rolled back as a unit. The rollback usually occurs in case of a failure...
