By: Sjoukje Zaal

Overview of this book

From designing solutions on Azure to configuring and managing virtual networks, AZ-300 certification can help you achieve all this and more. Whether you want to get certified or gain hands-on experience in administering, developing, and architecting Azure solutions, this study guide will help you get started. The book features not only the different exam objectives, but also guides you through configuring, managing, securing, and architecting Azure resources. Divided into five modules, this book will systematically take you through the different concepts and features as you advance through the sections. The first module demonstrates how to deploy and configure infrastructure. You will cover techniques related to implementing workloads and security, before learning how to create and deploy apps in the next module. To build on your knowledge, the final two modules will get you up to speed with implementing authentication, data security, and application and platform monitoring, along with covering Azure storage, alerting, and automation strategies. Finally, you’ll work through exam-based mock tests with answers to boost your confidence in passing the exam.

Understanding Azure Service Bus

Azure Service Bus is a fully managed enterprise integration message broker. It is mostly used for integration scenarios such as decoupling services and applications from each other. For those scenarios, it offers message queuing and publish/subscribe messaging. You can use it for IoT solutions as well, in combination with the Azure IoT Hub. It offers a reliable and secure platform for asynchronous data and state transfer, where data is transferred between applications and services using messaging. A message can be a JSON, XML, or text file.

Azure Service Bus offers the following key capabilities:

  • Queues: With queues, you can decouple message communication between applications and services with asynchronous messaging. A queue offers first in, first out message delivery, where each message is delivered to one consumer. All of the messages are stored inside the queue, so it isn't necessary for applications to be connected to the queue at the same time...
