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

Introduction to Azure App Service


Azure App Service is one of Microsoft Azure's Platform as a service (PaaS) offerings. It is used to run your applications on Azure in a fully managed service environment.

This offering provides the following services:

  • Web Apps: Used to host your web apps that need to scale with your business
  • API Apps: Used to easily build and consume APIs on the cloud
  • Mobile Apps: Used to build mobile apps for any device
  • Logic apps: Used to automate business processes across Software as a service (SaaS) and on-premises systems
  • Function apps: Used to integrate systems, work with IoT, process data, and even build simple APIs and microservices.

In this chapter, we will be focusing on Azure Web Apps specifically.
