In this first chapter, you learned the basics of cloud computing, its service models, and deployment models. We covered PaaS in depth and also provided details of the new trend of the modern day and that is aPaaS.
We discussed the role and benefits of PaaS and aPaaS in DevOps by explaining the services that each one provides and what is the difference between both of them. The next step is to know about tools or services that we are going to use in end-to-end automation for the application life cycle management. We covered brief details on App Service: Microsoft Azure Web Apps, Azure SQL Database, Storage Services, Azure Active Directory, App Insights, and Traffic Manager with its routing methods.
It is also important to understand the basic concepts related to Microsoft Azure Cloud so we can easily create and manage resources in Microsoft Azure Cloud. The basic concepts have covered topics such as regions, resource groups, ASPs, and autoscaling.
In the last section, we covered the overall vision of the book. We provided glimpses of the high-level design that we want to implement in the coming chapters.
In the next chapter, we will cover VSTS and how to check in code into VSTS using Eclipse.
