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

Managing Service Fabric clusters with Windows PowerShell


Microsoft Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform engineered for hosting hyperscale Microservices. The addressed challenges around managing Microservices are packaging, deployment, scaling, upgrading, and so on. Apart from the rich graphical user interface exposed through Azure Portal and the management APIs, Service Fabric clusters can also be managed using Windows PowerShell cmdlets. This is the preferred mechanism for automating the management process.

Prerequisites

Service Fabric supports automation of most of its application lifecycle management tasks. These tasks include deploying, upgrading, removing, and testing Azure Service Fabric applications. Following are the steps to prepare your machine to execute Windows PowerShell cmdlets to manage a Service Fabric cluster:

  1. Install the Service Fabric SDK, runtime, and tools which include the PowerShell modules. The SDK currently supports Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, Windows Server...
