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.

Deploying cross-subscription and resource-group deployments using linked templates

The previous example used nested templates to deploy to multiple subscriptions and resource groups. In the next example, we'll deploy multiple app service plans in separate subscriptions and resource groups using linked templates. The linked templates are stored in Azure Blob Storage that is protected using policies. This means that only the holder of the storage account key or a valid shared access signature can access this template. The access key is stored in the Azure Key Vault and is accessed from the parameters file using references under the storageKey element. Readers should upload the website.json file within a container of Azure Blob Storage. website.json file is a linked template responsible for provisioning an App Service plan and an App Service. The file is protected using Private...
