Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure is one of the upcoming cloud platforms that provide cost-effective solutions and services to help businesses overcome complex infrastructure-related challenges. This book will help you scale your cloud administration skills with Microsoft Azure. Learn Azure Administration starts with an introduction to the management of Azure subscriptions, and then takes you through Azure resource management. Next, you'll configure and manage virtual networks and find out how to integrate them with a set of Azure services. You'll then handle the identity and security for users with the help of Azure Active Directory, and manage access from a single place using policies and defined roles. As you advance, you'll get to grips with receipts to manage a virtual machine. The next set of chapters will teach you how to solve advanced problems such as DDoS protection, load balancing, and networking for containers. You'll also learn how to set up file servers, along with managing and storing backups. Later, you'll review monitoring solutions and backup plans for a host of services. The last set of chapters will help you to integrate different services with Azure Event Grid, Azure Automation, and Azure Logic Apps, and teach you how to manage Azure DevOps. By the end of this Azure book, you'll be proficient enough to easily administer your Azure-based cloud environment.

Understanding the setup

Depending on the frequency of your checks defined in the application, Azure will start analyzing your FTP server sooner or later. Now, when the evaluation takes place, two things may happen:

  • The application is not triggered because there was no change in the files or directories.
  • The evaluation is positive and your application is triggered.

The Azure Logic Apps connector handles the state of your FTP server, so you do not have to worry about notifying it about any changes. However, make sure your FTP server does not become too big as it may affect the performance of the logic app. You can very easily extend your logic app with other steps offered in the FTP section, such as the following:

  • Copy file—for copying files between servers
  • Create file—so that you can create a file on the FTP server
  • Delete file—for deleting files from the FTP server
  • Get file content—for fetching information about a file
  • List files—for browsing files...
