Building Hybrid Clouds with Azure Stack

Overview of this book

Azure Stack is all about creating fewer gaps between on-premise and public cloud application deployment. Azure Stack is the logical progression of Microsoft Cloud Services to create a true hybrid cloud-ready application. This book provides an introduction to Azure Stack and the cloud-first approach. Starting with an introduction to the architecture of Azure Stack, the book will help you plan and deploy your Azure Stack. Next, you will learn about the network and storage options in Azure Stack and you'll create your own private cloud solution. Finally, you will understand how to integrate public cloud using the third-party resource provider. After reading the book, you will have a good understanding of the end-to-end process of designing, offering, and supporting cloud solutions for enterprises or service providers.

Summary


As you have seen in this chapter, there are different ways to provide automation with Azure Stack. If we talk about something that needs to happen in a VM as the last step after it has been deployed, we could do this with the VM extension feature. As things become more complex and we need a fully orchestrated and automated setup, the well-known old-school automation tools could help, but the smoother way (if we are in a connected scenario) would be to use Azure automation as a hybrid solution and provide on-premises Azure Stack automation using a connected scenario running and orchestrating automation tasks from Azure public.
