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.

Using Az modules

So far, all examples have used AzureRM modules. The previously shown runbooks will be re-written to use cmdlets from the Az module.

As mentioned before, Az modules are not installed by default. They can be installed using the Modules gallery menu item in Azure Automation.

Search for Az in the gallery and the results will show multiple modules related to it. If the Az module is selected to be imported and installed, it will throw an error saying that its dependent modules are not installed and that they should be installed before installing the current module. The module can be found on the Modules gallery blade by searching for Az, as shown in Figure 4.13:

Searching the Az module on the Modules gallery blade.

Instead of selecting the Az module, select Az.Accounts and import the module by following the wizard, as shown in Figure 4.14:

Importing the Az.Accounts module.
