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

Hybrid cloud patterns


Now that we have an overview of what Azure Stack is, how it works, and how we could work with it, let's go on and discuss some scenarios where Azure Stack could fit. Here are some examples:

Basically, you should in general think about public Azure and how to move your IT services to it. If there is a reason why a service does not fit public Azure, Azure Stack might work.

The general scenarios for Azure Stack are as follows:

  • Edge and disconnected solutions: Edge and disconnected solutions are everything when not much internet connectivity is available or not intended. Therefore, the disconnected mode is suitable, because with Azure AD an internet connection is really needed.
  • Data sovereignty: Data sovereignty is the most important reason, as if a customer is not able to, not willing to, or does not have to move specific data to the public cloud, Azure Stack fits completely, as stack lives on the premise, where the data needs to reside.
  • Cloud applications: Developing cloud...
