Design effective Azure architecture and transform your IT business solutionsKey FeaturesDevelop a resilient and robust cloud environmentDeploy and manage cost-effective and highly available solutions on your public cloudDesign and implement enterprise-level cloud solutionsBook DescriptionAzure provides cloud-based solutions to support your business demands. Building and running solutions on Azure will help your business maximize the return on investment and minimize the total cost of ownership.Hands-On Cloud Solutions with Azure focuses on addressing the architectural decisions that usually arise when you design or migrate a solution to Microsoft Azure. You will start by designing the building blocks of infrastructure solution on Azure, such as Azure compute, storage, and networking, followed by exploring the database options it offers. You will get to grips with designing scalable web and mobile solutions and understand where to host your Active Directory and Identity Solution. Moving on, you’ll learn how to extend DevOps to Azure.You will also beneft from some exciting services that enable extremely smooth operations and streamlined DevOps between on-premises and cloud. The book will help you to design a secure environment for your solution, on both the Cloud and hybrid. Toward the end, you’ll see how to manage and monitor cloud and hybrid solutions.By the end of this book, you will be armed with all the tools and knowledge you need to properly plan and design your solutions on Azure, whether it’s for a brand new project or migration project.What you will learnGet started with Azure by understanding tenants, subs, and resource groupsDecide whether to “lift and shift” or migrate appsPlan and architect solutions in AzureBuild ARM templates for Azure resourcesDevelop and deploy solutions in AzureUnderstand how to monitor and support your application with AzureMake your life easier with Azure best practices and tipsWho this book is forIf you’re an IT consultant, developer, or solutions architect looking to design effective solutions for your organization, this book is for you. Some knowledge of cloud computing will assist with understanding the key concepts covered in this book.

Discover recipes for implementing solutions to real-world business problems through serverless applicationsKey FeaturesTest, troubleshoot, and monitor Azure functions to deliver high-quality and reliable cloud-centric applicationsUnderstand Visual Studio's integrated developer experience for Azure functionsExplore best practices for organizing and refactoring code within the Azure functionsBook DescriptionThis third edition of Azure Serverless Computing Cookbook guides you through the development of a basic back-end web API that performs simple operations, helping you understand how to persist data in Azure Storage services. You'll cover the integration of Azure Functions with other cloud services, such as notifications (SendGrid and Twilio), Cognitive Services (computer vision), and Logic Apps, to build simple workflow-based applications.With the help of this book, you'll be able to leverage Visual Studio tools to develop, build, test, and deploy Azure functions quickly. It also covers a variety of tools and methods for testing the functionality of Azure functions locally in the developer's workstation and in the cloud environment. Once you're familiar with the core features, you'll explore advanced concepts such as durable functions, starting with a "hello world" example, and learn about the scalable bulk upload use case, which uses durable function patterns, function chaining, and fan-out/fan-in.By the end of this Azure book, you'll have gained the knowledge and practical experience needed to be able to create and deploy Azure applications on serverless architectures efficiently.What you will learnImplement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) of Azure functionsDevelop different event-based handlers in a serverless architectureIntegrate Azure functions with different Azure services to develop enterprise-level applicationsAccelerate your cloud application development using Azure function triggers and bindingsAutomate mundane tasks at various levels, from development to deployment and maintenanceDevelop stateful serverless applications and self-healing jobs using durable functionsWho this book is forIf you are a cloud developer or architect who wants to build cloud-native systems and deploy serverless applications with Azure functions, this book is for you. Prior experience with Microsoft Azure core services will help you to make the most out of this book.
