Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Architecture of Service Fabric


Service Fabric is a collection of services grouped into different subsystems. These subsystems have specific responsibilities. The following diagram illustrates the major subsystems which form the Service Fabric architecture:

Subsystems of Service Fabric

The first layer from the bottom, the Transport Subsystem is responsible for providing secure communication channels between nodes in a Service Fabric cluster. The Federation Subsystem above it helps logically group physical or virtual nodes into a cluster so that it can be managed as a unit. This helps Service Fabric with tasks such as failure detection, leader election, and routing. Reliability of the workload hosted on Service Fabric is managed by the Reliability Subsystem. It owns the responsibility of replication, resource management, and failover. The Hosting & Activation Subsystem manages the lifecycle of the workload on every node and the Management Subsystem is responsible for managing the lifecycle...
