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.

Registering an application in Azure AD

Azure AD enables you to govern not only users but also applications. An application in Azure AD is a special type of entity that acts like a user. However, in reality, it is an artificial being inside your directory. With applications, you can, for example, leverage RBAC and allow them to read other services settings or data. In this section, you will learn how to register an application and configure its parameters so that you can control it.

To get started, you will need to go to your Azure AD directory in the Azure portal and click on the App registrations blade:

In the displayed list, you will be able to see all the created registrations (it is quite possible that, in your case, the list is currently empty). Now, we are ready to create a new app registration.
