Overview of this book

Azure Stack is all about creating fewer gaps between on-premise and public cloud application deployment. Azure Stack is the logical progression of Microsoft Cloud Services to create a true hybrid cloud-ready application. This book provides an introduction to Azure Stack and the cloud-first approach. Starting with an introduction to the architecture of Azure Stack, the book will help you plan and deploy your Azure Stack. Next, you will learn about the network and storage options in Azure Stack and you'll create your own private cloud solution. Finally, you will understand how to integrate public cloud using the third-party resource provider. After reading the book, you will have a good understanding of the end-to-end process of designing, offering, and supporting cloud solutions for enterprises or service providers.

Summary


Azure Stack itself provides different scenarios with interoperability and migration options from Windows Azure Pack, OpenStack, or other data center management solutions. The big issue is that the goal of a great project implementing Azure Stack, just like every other project in IT, is good project planning. If you think about the basic features you will need to consider, then your project should not fail.
