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

Functionalities provided by ARM


In this section, I would like to give you a brief overview of the functionalities of ARM. The list, however, is only a selection and is limited to the most frequently used features. You will find detailed information on the use of the features in the following sections of this chapter.

Let's take a look at the functionalities:

  • There's logical organization of all the resources of a subscription, with Azure resource tags (for example, for each project and tenant).
  • There's improved cost control. You can view the costs for the whole group or for a group of resources with the same tag.
  • There's the use of ARM templates:
    • As a deployment template, in the provision of individual solutions on the Azure platform (the most popular example is deploying a SharePoint server farm).
    • As a resource provider template, for the implementation of measures (for example, configuration) within the resource groups.
  • By using...
