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.

Summary

IoT is one of the biggest upcoming technologies of this decade and is already disrupting industries. Things that sounded impossible are suddenly possible. IoT Hub is a platform that eases the creation and delivery of IoT solutions to the customer in a faster, better, and cheaper way. It provides implementations of all industry protocols, such as the MQTT protocol and AMQP, along with field gateways that can adapt non-standard devices. It provides high availability, scalability, and security features to both messages and the overall solution. It provides connectivity to a large number of Azure services and helps in routing messages to multiple different endpoints, each capable of processing messages. IoT can fast-track the entire development life cycle and help expedite time-to-market for companies.

Azure provides numerous data storage options and services. This is the...
