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

Storage accounts


Azure Storage implements the following four services:

  • Blob storage: Blob storage stores unstructured object data, which can be text or binary data.
  • Table storage: Structured datasets are stored in Table storage. Table storage is a NoSQL key attribute data store, enabling rapid development and fast access to data.
  • Queue storage: In addition to providing reliable messaging for workflow processing, Queue storage makes communication between segments of cloud services available.
  • File storage: Using the standard Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, file storage offers shared storage for legacy applications. Azure virtual machines and cloud services can share file data over application components using mounted shares. Utilizing the file service REST API, on-premise applications can obtain file data.

The Blob storage account

A general-purpose storage account provides entrance to Azure Storage services such as tables, queues, files, blobs, and Azure virtual machine disks, combined under...
