Understand and build a proof of concept by migrating a multi-tiered .NET
Core web application to the Azure public cloud, leveraging different
Azure Infrastructure as a Service (IAAS), Azure Platform as a Service
(PaaS), and Azure Container offerings. These include Azure Container
Instance (ACI), Azure Kubernetes Services (AKS), and CI/CD pipeline
deployments using Azure DevOps.
After a first chapter in which you set up the baseline for the lab
scenarios, you will start with the basics of automating Azure resource
deployments using Visual Studio and powerful Azure Resource Manager
(ARM) templates. Next, you'll learn about the importance of performing
proper assessments and the tools Microsoft offers to help in this
migration preparation phase. After that, you will validate the virtual
machine deployment and learn about SQL Server database migration to SQL
Azure PaaS, as well as deploying and migrating web applications to Azure
Web Apps.
After covering these foundational platform components, the next chapters
focus on the core concepts and advantages of using containers for
running business workloads. These labs are based on Docker, Azure
Container Registry (ACR), ACI, and Web App for Containers, and show you
how to enable container orchestration and cloud-scale using AKS.
In the last part of the book, you will work with Azure DevOps, the
Microsoft application lifecycle environment, building a CI/CD pipeline
to publish workloads using the DevOps principles and concepts. You'll
see the integration with the rest of the Azure services, closing with a
module on overall Azure monitoring and operations and what tools Azure
has available to assist your IT teams in this challenge.
