Overview of this book

Over the years, Azure cloud services have grown quickly, and the number of organizations adopting Azure for their cloud services is also gradually increasing. Leading industry giants are finding that Azure fulfills their extensive cloud requirements. Azure for Architects – Second Edition starts with an extensive introduction to major designing and architectural aspects available with Azure. These design patterns focus on different aspects of the cloud, such as high availability, security, and scalability. Gradually, we move on to other aspects, such as ARM template modular design and deployments. This is the age of microservices and serverless is the preferred implementation mechanism for them. This book covers the entire serverless stack available in Azure including Azure Event Grid, Azure Functions, and Azure Logic Apps. New and advance features like durable functions are discussed at length. A complete integration solution using these serverless technologies is also part of the book. A complete chapter discusses all possible options related to containers in Azure including Azure Kubernetes services, Azure Container Instances and Registry, and Web App for Containers. Data management and integration is an integral part of this book that discusses options for implementing OLTP solutions using Azure SQL, Big Data solutions using Azure Data factory and Data Lake Storage, eventing solutions using stream analytics, and Event Hubs. This book will provide insights into Azure governance features such as tagging, RBAC, cost management, and policies. By the end of this book, you will be able to develop a full-?edged Azure cloud solution that is Enterprise class and future-ready.

Previously, it was not possible to use containers along with Azure App Service. App Service provided the ability to host applications on virtual machines. There is now a new preview feature that has been recently added to Azure App Service. This feature allows you to host containers on App Service and have containers contain the application binaries and dependencies together:

  1. To deploy a container on App Service, go to the Azure portal and select Web App for Containers and create one:
  1. Provide a name to it along with subscription and resource group information. Select an appropriate operating system. Both Linux and Windows are available as options.
  2. Either create a new App Service plan, as shown in the following screenshot, or use an existing plan:
  1. Provide the Configure container configuration information. Here we already have our image on Azure Container...
