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

Azure AD conditional access


At this point, I want to give some credit to a very important child service of Azure AD. Azure AD conditional access is a very simple way to control and secure access to resources in the cloud and on premises. Azure AD conditional access is a premium feature in Azure AD. You can grade access, for example, by the following conditions: 

  • Group membership: Access based on group membership
  • Location: Block controls when a user is not on a trusted network, or trigger MFA
  • Device platform: Use the device platform (iOS, Android, Windows versions) to apply a policy
  • Device-enabled: Device state (enabled or disabled) is validated during device policy evaluation
  • Sign-in and user risk: Azure AD Identity Protection for conditional access risk policies

Note

Azure AD conditional access is, for example, the only option to disable access for Azure through the public internet or based on network policies. Even private connections, such as Microsoft ExpressRoute, do not allow limiting access...
