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

Once we have a successful build, we can move ahead to create a release definition to automate Continuous Delivery. A VSTS release definition can be used to define the tasks which should be executed sequentially to deploy a packages Service Fabric application to a cluster. Following are the steps to be followed to create a release definition:

  1. Browse to the VSTS portal and navigate to the Releases tab.
  2. Select the Create release definition menu item:

Create release definition

  1. Select Azure Service Fabric Deployment within the Deployment template category and click Next:

Select Azure Service Fabric template

  1. Select the already created build definition from the drop-down list, click on the check box to enable Continuous Deployment and click on Create:

Select project and build definition

  1. Add the Cluster Connection configuration:

Setting application package path and publish profile

  1. In the dialogue, give the cluster connection a name and add the Cluster Endpoint and click OK:
