Azure for Architects - Third Edition

By: Ritesh Modi, Jack Lee, Rithin Skaria

Overview of this book

Thanks to its support for high availability, scalability, security, performance, and disaster recovery, Azure has been widely adopted to create and deploy different types of application with ease. Updated for the latest developments, this third edition of Azure for Architects helps you get to grips with the core concepts of designing serverless architecture, including containers, Kubernetes deployments, and big data solutions. You'll learn how to architect solutions such as serverless functions, you'll discover deployment patterns for containers and Kubernetes, and you'll explore large-scale big data processing using Spark and Databricks. As you advance, you'll implement DevOps using Azure DevOps, work with intelligent solutions using Azure Cognitive Services, and integrate security, high availability, and scalability into each solution. Finally, you'll delve into Azure security concepts such as OAuth, OpenConnect, and managed identities. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to design intelligent Azure solutions based on containers and serverless functions.

Summary

The option to deploy resources using a single deployment to multiple subscriptions, resource groups, and regions provides enhanced abilities to deploy, reduce bugs in deployment, and access advanced benefits, such as creating disaster recovery sites and achieving high availability.

In this chapter, you saw how to create a few different kinds of solution using ARM templates. This included creating an infrastructure-based solution comprising virtual machines; a platform-based solution using Azure App Service; a data-related solution using the Data Factory resource (including its configuration); and a datacenter on Azure with virtual machines, Active Directory, and DNS installed on top of the virtual machine.

In the next chapter, we will focus on creating modular ARM templates, an essential skill for architects who really want to take their ARM templates to the next level. The chapter will also show you various ways to design ARM templates and create reusable and modular...
