Azure for Architects - Third Edition

By: Ritesh Modi, Jack Lee, Rithin Skaria

Overview of this book

Thanks to its support for high availability, scalability, security, performance, and disaster recovery, Azure has been widely adopted to create and deploy different types of application with ease. Updated for the latest developments, this third edition of Azure for Architects helps you get to grips with the core concepts of designing serverless architecture, including containers, Kubernetes deployments, and big data solutions. You'll learn how to architect solutions such as serverless functions, you'll discover deployment patterns for containers and Kubernetes, and you'll explore large-scale big data processing using Spark and Databricks. As you advance, you'll implement DevOps using Azure DevOps, work with intelligent solutions using Azure Cognitive Services, and integrate security, high availability, and scalability into each solution. Finally, you'll delve into Azure security concepts such as OAuth, OpenConnect, and managed identities. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to design intelligent Azure solutions based on containers and serverless functions.

12. Azure Big Data eventing solutions

Events are everywhere! Any activity or task that changes the state of a work item generates an event. Due to a lack of infrastructure and the non-availability of cheap devices, there previously was not much traction for the Internet of Things (IoT). Historically, organizations used hosted environments from internet service providers (ISPs) that just had monitoring systems on top of them. These monitoring systems raised events that were few and far between.

However, with the advent of the cloud, things are changing rapidly. With increased deployments on the cloud, especially of Platform as a Service (PaaS) services, organizations no longer need much control over the hardware and the platform, and now every time there is a change in an environment, an event is raised. With the emergence of cloud events, IoT has gained a lot of prominence and events have started to take center stage.
