Overview of this book

A well designed cloud infrastructure covers factors such as consistency, maintenance, simplified administration and development, and reusability. Hence it is important to choose the right architectural pattern as it has a huge impact on the quality of cloud-hosted services. This book covers all Azure design patterns and functionalities to help you build your cloud infrastructure so it fits your system requirements. This book initially covers design patterns that are focused on factors such as availability and data management/monitoring. Then the focus shifts to complex design patterns such as multitasking, improving scalability, valet keys, and so on, with practical use cases. The book also supplies best practices to improve the security and performance of your cloud. By the end of this book, you will thoroughly be familiar with the different design and architectural patterns available with Windows Azure and capable of choosing the best pattern for your system.

Summary


In this chapter, I gave you an overview of Azure networking. First, I presented you with the anatomy of a VNet, and the network elements that occur. Then, in the second part, there was a deep dive into some parts of it (such as connectivity, routing, and more).

In the next chapter, we will end our tour through the Azure platform and begin to deal with specific architectural aspects. We will start with the topic, Availability.
