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

Preparing your system


To get started with developing applications on Service Fabric, you will need to the following:

  1. Install the runtime, SDK, and tools.
  2. A Service Fabric cluster to deploy your applications.
  3. Configure PowerShell to enable SDK script execution.

We are going to use C#, Visual Studio 2015, and Windows 10 to develop all samples in this book.

Note

You can find the steps to to prepare your development environment on various operating systems at this link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/service-fabric-get-started/.

To install the SDK, tools, and Service Fabric runtime, use the Web Platform Installer (Visual Studio 2015) or enable Service Fabric workload (Visual Studio 2017). You can read more about these options at:
