Focus exclusively on the Azure Resource Manager (ARM) deployment model for Azure automation and gain in-depth knowledge of topics such as runbook authoring, different types of automation runbooks, and hybrid cloud automation.
Explore the architectural constructs of Azure monitoring capabilities and learn various design and implementation aspects for complex use cases. This book covers the different scenarios in a modern-day multi-cloud enterprise and the tools available in Azure for monitoring and securing these environments. Understanding Azure Monitoring starts by discussing the rapid changes happening in the cloud and the challenges faced by cloud architects. You will then look at the basics of Azure monitoring and the available tools, including service level agreements (SLAs), auditing, and security. Next, you will learn how to select the best tools for monitoring, operational strategy, and integration with on-premises SIEM systems. You'll work through some scenario-based examples to monitor the workload and respond to failures. Here, you will monitor a simple web application on Azure, a multi-region web application, and applications that include PaaS and IaaS services. Towards the end of the book, you will explore monitoring in DevOps and see why it is important to be aware of continuous changes. You will: Work with Azure IaaS and PaaS resources and monitoring and diagnostics capabilities Discover how the operational landscape changes on Azure Look at cloud-only and on-premises hybrid integration Study architectural constructs for design and implementation
Migrating and Building Scalable and Secure Cloud Solutions
Focusing on the adoption of Azure IaaS, this book offers practical strategies for migrating on-premise infrastructure to Azure, whether partially or fully. It emphasizes Microsoft's design principles and best practices to create solution stacks that are highly available, scalable, and secure. Readers will gain insights into effective implementation techniques that align with industry standards for cloud infrastructure.
Guiding Principles and Design Best Practices for Azure Workloads
Focusing on the Azure well-architected framework, this book explores five critical architecture elements: cost optimization, performance efficiency, operational excellence, reliability, and security. It offers practical guidance for deploying workloads in Azure while aligning with Microsoft’s best practices, ensuring that readers can effectively enhance their architectural strategies.
