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

ACI


As mentioned already, running just container instances in Azure is quite easy. By running your workloads in ACI, you don't have to set up a management infrastructure for your containers, you just can put your focus on design and building the applications.

Creating a first container in Azure

Let's create a first simple container in Azure using the portal:

  1.  Go to Container Instances under New | Marketplace | Everything, as shown in the following screenshot:
  1. After having chosen the Container Instances entry in the resources list, you will have to define some properties, which are described as follows:

At first, we will need to define the Azure container name. Of course, this needs to be unique in your environment. Then, we will need to define the source of the image and to which resource group and region it should be deployed within Azure.

  1. As already mentioned, containers can reside on Windows and Linux, because this needs to be defined at first. Afterwards, we will need to define the resources...
