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

ASDK


Microsoft Azure Stack can only be ordered with the corresponding hardware, which has been tested and certified. The following are the hardware vendors:

  • HPE
  • DELL EMC
  • Lenovo
  • Cisco
  • Huawei
  • Wortmann
  • Fujitsu

The typical scenarios which Azure Stack could fit in are:

  • Disconnected/Edge scenarios (for example, running services of Azure on a ship or a plane)
  • Data privacy reasons (data could, should, or must not leave the company location)
  • Modern cloud app development on-premise

As Azure Stack can only be bought as an integrated system, there is no software available that could be downloaded and place it on dedicated hardware. But for testing proof of concept (PoC) purposes, Microsoft offers a trial version of Azure Stack, called ASDK. As it is running on one physical host, no performance or availability tests are suitable, but in general all features are available with ASDK, too.

The required hardware for an ASDK is documented here at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-stack/asdk/asdk-deploy-considerations...
