Overview of this book

Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions: Exam Guide 70-535 will get Azure architects and developers up-to-date with the latest updates on Azure from an architecture and design perspective. The book includes all the topics that are still relevant from the previous 70-534 exam, and is updated with latest topics covered, including Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and architecture styles. This exam guide is divided into six parts, where the first part will give you a good understanding of how to design a compute infrastructure. It also dives into designing networking and data implementations. You will learn about designing solutions for Platform Service and operations. Next, you will be able to secure your resources and data, as well as design a mechanism for governance and policies. You will also understand the objective of designing solutions for Platform Services, by covering Artificial Intelligence, IoT, media services, and messaging solution concepts. Finally, you will cover the designing for operations objective. This objective covers application and platform monitoring, as well as designing alerting strategies and operations automation strategies. By the end of the book, you’ll have met all of the exam objectives, and will have all the information you need to ace the 70-535 exam. You will also have become an expert in designing solutions on Microsoft Azure.

Azure Service Fabric

Azure Service Fabric is an orchestration platform from Microsoft that can be used to deploy, manage, and package microservices and containers. It is similar to Docker Cloud and Kubernetes, where Service Fabric is fully bound to the Azure platform.

The difference between the three is that Service Fabric is the only one that is fully bound to the Azure Platform. Examples of this tight integration with the Azure platform includes the fact that Azure Service Fabric can use API Management, Event Hub, and IoT Hub out of the box as stateless gateways. When using other providers, stateless gateways are mostly built manually. You can import Docker images in Azure Fabric as well, but the orchestration of the Docker containers is then fully handled by Azure Service Fabric.

Azure Service Fabric offers a lightweight runtime for building distributed, scalable, stateless...
