Azure for Architects: Create secure, scalable, high-availability applications on the cloud

About the Book

Build and design multiple types of applications that are cross-language, platform, and cost-effective by understanding core Azure principles and foundational concepts Key Features Get familiar with the different design patterns available in Microsoft Azure Develop Azure cloud architecture and a pipeline management system Get to know the security best practices for your Azure deployment Book DescriptionThanks to its support for high availability, scalability, security, performance, and disaster recovery, Azure has been widely adopted to create and deploy different types of application with ease. Updated for the latest developments, this third edition of Azure for Architects helps you get to grips with the core concepts of designing serverless architecture, including containers, Kubernetes deployments, and big data solutions. You'll learn how to architect solutions such as serverless functions, you'll discover deployment patterns for containers and Kubernetes, and you'll explore large-scale big data processing using Spark and Databricks. As you advance, you'll implement DevOps using Azure DevOps, work with intelligent solutions using Azure Cognitive Services, and integrate security, high availability, and scalability into each solution. Finally, you'll delve into Azure security concepts such as OAuth, OpenConnect, and managed identities. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to design intelligent Azure solutions based on containers and serverless functions.What you will learn Understand the components of the Azure cloud platform Use cloud design patterns Use enterprise security guidelines for your Azure deployment Design and implement serverless and integration solutions Build efficient data solutions on Azure Understand container services on Azure Who this book is forIf you are a cloud architect, DevOps engineer, or a developer looking to learn about the key architectural aspects of the Azure cloud platform, this book is for you. A basic understanding of the Azure cloud platform will help you grasp the concepts covered in this book more effectively.
