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.

Creating an end-to-end solution using serverless technologies

In this section, we will create an end-to-end solution comprising serverless technologies that we discussed in the previous sections. The following example will give you an idea of how workflows can be intelligently implemented to avoid management overhead. In the next activity, we will create a workflow to notify the users when the keys, secrets, and certificates get stored in Azure Key Vault. We will take this as a problem statement, figure out a solution, architect the solution, and implement it.

The problem statement

The problem that we are going to solve here is that users and organizations are not notified regarding the expiration of secrets in their key vault, and applications stop working when they expire. Users are complaining that Azure does not provide the infrastructure to monitor Key Vault secrets, keys, and certificates.

Solution

The solution to this problem is to combine multiple Azure services...
