You should consider scalability, durability, and high availability depending on the scenario and target you try to achieve.

Within this chapter you will learn about most of the basic Azure security offerings. You will learn how and when to implement and integrate security on storage and compute level. We will also take a look at (hybrid) identity security.

First we will take a look at Identity Security in Azure, as it provides the basics for most of the other techniques we will talk about.
