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 5. Implementing Azure Storage

Just like you plan the network in your datacenter or company, you need to do the same in Azure. Nearly every service in Azure is related to storage. Therefore, it has to be planned well. You should consider scalability, durability, and high availability depending on the scenario and target you try to achieve.

In this chapter, Azure Storage management is discussed. The key takeaways are how and when to implement and integrate the different Azure Storage types.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Storage accounts
  • Replication and redundancy
  • Azure Storage services:
    • Blob
    • Table
    • Queue
    • File
  • Exploring Azure Storage with Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer
  • Premium storage accounts
  • Pricing

This chapter does not cover deep backup, Azure site recovery, or StorSimple topics. We will set up some basic storage configurations in this chapter.
