Overview of this book

Whether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively. With this book, you’ll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable. You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you’ll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications.

Using Eclipse with Azure

In this section, we'll take a look at the Azure Toolkit for Eclipse, a very popular IDE among Java developers. You can use Azure tools within an Eclipse IDE for the following reasons:

  • For deploying your Java applications to Azure as a container or as an App Service, without leaving Eclipse
  • To access Java libraries for Azure development
  • To use Azure Explorer to view and manage Azure resources within Eclipse
  • To use the Azure Service Fabric toolkit to work with Service Fabric-based applications within Eclipse
  • To use the Team Explorer Everywhere so that you can integrate your development environment with Azure DevOps online (also known as Visual Studio Team Services)

Azure Service Fabric and Team Explorer Everywhere are additional tools you need to install so that you can leverage their functionality alongside the core Azure Toolkit.
