Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is one of the upcoming cloud platforms that provide cost-effective solutions and services to help businesses overcome complex infrastructure-related challenges. This book will help you scale your cloud administration skills with Microsoft Azure. Learn Azure Administration starts with an introduction to the management of Azure subscriptions, and then takes you through Azure resource management. Next, you'll configure and manage virtual networks and find out how to integrate them with a set of Azure services. You'll then handle the identity and security for users with the help of Azure Active Directory, and manage access from a single place using policies and defined roles. As you advance, you'll get to grips with receipts to manage a virtual machine. The next set of chapters will teach you how to solve advanced problems such as DDoS protection, load balancing, and networking for containers. You'll also learn how to set up file servers, along with managing and storing backups. Later, you'll review monitoring solutions and backup plans for a host of services. The last set of chapters will help you to integrate different services with Azure Event Grid, Azure Automation, and Azure Logic Apps, and teach you how to manage Azure DevOps. By the end of this Azure book, you'll be proficient enough to easily administer your Azure-based cloud environment.

Transferring large datasets with low or no network bandwidth

Sometimes, especially when migrating your workloads from on-premises environments to the cloud, you need to move large amounts of data that your systems have stored. For more advanced architectures, you may face a scenario where you have to transfer hundreds of gigabytes of data over the network. In cases when you do not have a dedicated connection between your local data center and Azure, transferring large datasets may not be efficient nor cost-effective. In this section, we will consider possible options for these scenarios and what options you have to succeed.
