Book Description
Azure offers a wide range of services that enable a million ways to
architect your solutions. Complete with original maps and expert
analysis, this book will help you to explore Azure and choose the best
solutions for your unique requirements.
Starting with the key aspects of architecture, this book shows you how
to map different architectural perspectives and covers a variety of use
cases for each architectural discipline. You'll get acquainted with the
basic cloud vocabulary and learn which strategic aspects to consider for
a successful cloud journey. As you advance through the chapters, you'll
understand technical considerations from the perspective of a solutions
architect. You'll then explore infrastructure aspects, such as network,
disaster recovery, and high availability, and leverage Infrastructure as
Code (IaC) through ARM templates, Bicep, and Terraform. The book also
guides you through cloud design patterns, distributed architecture, and
ecosystem solutions, such as Dapr, from an application architect's
perspective. You'll work with both traditional (ETL and OLAP) and modern
data practices (big data and advanced analytics) in the cloud and
finally get to grips with cloud native security.
By the end of this book, you'll have picked up best practices and more
rounded knowledge of the different architectural perspectives.
