Overview of this book

Microsoft Azure has numerous effective solutions that shape the future of any business. However, the major challenge that architects and administrators face are implementing these solutions appropriately. Our book focuses on various implementation scenarios that will help overcome the challenge of implementing Azure’s solutions in a very efficient manner and will also help you to prepare for Microsoft Architect exam. You will not only learn how to secure a newly deployed Azure Active Directory but also get to know how Azure Active Directory Synchronization could be implemented. To maintain an isolated and secure environment so that you can run your virtual machines and applications, you will implement Azure networking services. Also to manage, access, and secure your confidential data, you will implement storage solutions. Toward the end, you will explore tips and tricks to secure your environment. By the end, you will be able to implement Azure solutions such as networking, storage, and cloud effectively.

Pricing

The billing for Azure Storage usage depends on the used Storage account. Also, storage costs are based on these determinants:

  • Location: This describes the geographical region in which the account is based.
  • Storage capacity: This refers to how much of the Storage account is used to store data.
  • Account type: Based on the usage of either the general purpose Storage account or the Blob Storage account, the account type affects the billing. When using a Blob Storage account, the access tier also defines the billing model for the account.
  • Storage transactions: Transactions are all read and write operations to Azure Storage.
  • Replication scheme: This describes the number of copies of your data and where they are stored.
  • Data egress: This the data that is transported out of an Azure region. This usually happens when the data is obtained by an application that is located in another region or in an on-premises location. If data egresses Azure, charges apply.
