The Azure Cloud Native Architecture Mapbook

By: Stéphane Eyskens, Ed Price

Overview of this book

Azure offers a wide range of services that enable a million ways to architect your solutions. Complete with original maps and expert analysis, this book will help you to explore Azure and choose the best solutions for your unique requirements. Starting with the key aspects of architecture, this book shows you how to map different architectural perspectives and covers a variety of use cases for each architectural discipline. You'll get acquainted with the basic cloud vocabulary and learn which strategic aspects to consider for a successful cloud journey. As you advance through the chapters, you'll understand technical considerations from the perspective of a solutions architect. You'll then explore infrastructure aspects, such as network, disaster recovery, and high availability, and leverage Infrastructure as Code (IaC) through ARM templates, Bicep, and Terraform. The book also guides you through cloud design patterns, distributed architecture, and ecosystem solutions, such as Dapr, from an application architect's perspective. You'll work with both traditional (ETL and OLAP) and modern data practices (big data and advanced analytics) in the cloud and finally get to grips with cloud native security. By the end of this book, you'll have picked up best practices and more rounded knowledge of the different architectural perspectives.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "Locate and open the appsettings.json file, in the netcoreapp3.1 folder."

A block of code is set as follows:

public class DataObject{
    private string[] sensorNames = new string[] { "Brussels",         "Genval" };
    public string sensorName { get; private set; }
    public double speed { get; private set; }
    public string plateNumber { get; private set; }
    public DataObject()

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

public class DataObject{
    private string[] sensorNames = new string[] {         "Brussels", "Genval" };
    public string sensorName { get; private set; }
    public double speed { get; private set; }
    public string plateNumber { get; private set; }
    public DataObject()

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

$ az storage account list

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Choose the Custom Streaming data tile type."
