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.

The good thing is that you will maybe already have these conventions with Azure and as Azure Stack is relying on the same design concepts, they may be already set and just need to be modified to fit to Azure Stack design specifications.

Agree on a set of naming conventions up front; there are some considerations regarding naming conventions that cut across that sets of rules.
