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

Common Azure network architectures


Looking at the networking scenarios, the most common one is to integrate Azure and Office 365 directly into your MPLS. Every connection from any location is transmitted via the MPLS network.

The following diagram shows a short abstract of such an environment:

There are also options to use Azure as colocation and connect offices via a VPN. This option is often used by small or medium business companies. There every VPN connection terminates in Azure. Office 365 is reached via Internet from the Office directly:

 

 

 

Another very common form of setting up WAN links to offices or other data centers is to have a primary link via ExpressRoute and a secondary link via a Site 2 Site VPN with BGP enabled. So your services stay available for your users even if your MPLS fails. You only have a performance impact but stay in production. The rerouting will happen automatically because of the enabled BGP:

There are also common scenarios where Azure is used only for online...
