Running applications and systems that are available to users for consumption is an important consideration for architects of any serious application. However, there is another equally important application feature that is one of the top priorities for architects, and this is the scalability of applications. Imagine situations in which applications are deployed and obtain great performance and availability with a few users, but both availability and performance suffer as users start increasing. Another situation could be when the application is performant and available, with a large number of users, but there is a certain time of the day or week, or there are special events during which the number of users spikes, and you cannot gauge or predict the number of users. Extending the previous situation, you might have provisioned the hardware and bandwidth for handling users...

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.
