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

Tagging in ARM


We have just learned how to create a resource group and how to add a resource. What we are still missing? We still need a way to organize our resources logically, for example, for the calculation of cost or for a targeted tracking.

ARM offers a solution for this—Azure resource tags. Resource tags are any key/value pairs that appear useful for describing a resource.

Let's see an example:

Key

Value

Department

Management

Project

PPBook

Tenant

ACD

 

Once you have defined a resource tag, you can use this as a filter in Azure PowerShell or in the Azure Billing APIs (Azure Usage API and Azure RateCard API). Up to 15 tags can be defined per resource.

I will show you the necessary work steps on the example of tagging an Azure storage account, but note that the description of the procedure applies to all other resource types in the same form:

  1. Open your Azure portal at https://portal.azure.com.
  2. In the portal, click on Resource groups, and then click on the Resource groups blade, then the acdppbook...
