Hands-On Azure for Developers

By: Kamil Mrzygłód

Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is one of the fastest growing public cloud service providers in the market currently, and also holds the second highest market share after AWS. Azure has a sophisticated set of services that will help you build fault-tolerant and scalable cloud-based applications. Hands-On Azure for Developers will take you on a journey through multiple PaaS services available in Azure, including App Services, Functions, and Service Fabric, and explain in detail how to build a complete and reliable system with ease. You will learn about how to maximize your skills when building cloud-based solutions leveraging different SQL/NoSQL databases, serverless and messaging components, and even search engines such as Azure Search. In the concluding chapters, this book covers more advanced scenarios such as scalability best practices, serving static content with Azure CDN, and distributing loads with Azure Traffic Manager. By the end of the book, you will be able to build modern applications on the Azure cloud using the most popular and promising technologies, which will help make your solutions reliable, stable, and efficient.

Chapter 4: Distributed Applications and Microservices with Service Fabric

  1. Reliable Actors implement the Virtual Actor pattern and are designed to distribute load among thousands of stateful services. Reliable Services are the patterns in Service Fabric that are used to implement stateful services, which can be multi-threaded and do not have to be scaled to that level.
  2. Stateful services store the state locally. Stateless services either do not handle the state at all or use an external storage.
  3. An interface called ICommunicationListener.
  4. A node type in SF is the specialized VM scale set that's designed to work on a particular workload.
  5. Yes, as they are separate VMSS.
  6. Yes, you can.
  7. Node-to-node security and client-to-node security.
  8. A cluster is the whole instance of Service Fabrica container for all of the other concepts. An application is a logical container for multiple...
