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

Exploring the application model


A service fabric application is made up of several Microservices. A Microservice is further made up of three parts:

  • Code: These are the executable binaries of the Microservice. The binaries are packaged in code package.
  • Configuration: These are the settings that can be used by your Microservices at run time. These are packaged into a configuration package.
  • Data: Any static data that is used by the Microservice is packaged in data package.

A Service Fabric application is described by a set of versioned manifests, an application manifest, and several service manifests, one each for each of the Microservices that make up the application. Let's explore the components of a Service Fabric application by navigating through the Service Fabric application package.

To package your application, right click on your Service Fabric application project and click on the Package option:
