We've covered a lot of preliminary subject matter regarding the decision process that will help us choose to build a system using Microsoft Azure, and also explored all the services available to us.

Next, we're going to look at how to go about architecting a system for Microsoft Azure and introduce a case study on which the examples in this book are based. We'll use the knowledge we've gained about the different Microsoft Azure services available to us to help design the system in the case study and choose the right service for each part of the system.

Throughout this book, we'll examine services in detail as we build the system in the case study.
