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

Chapter 1. Getting Started with Azure Implementation

Cloud services have come a long way in the last 5 to 10 years. Cloud was and still is one of the biggest trends in Information Technology (IT), with new topics still to be discovered.

In the early 2000s, cloud computing wasn't a widely phrase, but the concept, as well as data centers with massive computing power, already existed. Later in that decade, the word cloud became a buzzword for nearly anything that was not tangible or online. But the real rise of cloud computing with all its different service models happened before, when big IT companies started their cloud offerings. That was Amazon, Google, and Microsoft in particular. As these cloud offerings developed, they enabled companies from start ups to Fortune 500s to use cloud services, from web services to virtual machines, with billing exact to the minute.

In this chapter, we'll explore the following topics:

  • Cloud service models
  • Cloud deployment models
  • Cloud characteristics
  • Multi-cloud characteristics and models
  • An overview of Azure services
