Embracing the cloud—a Serverless architecture to solve problems at scaleAbout This Book• Learn to develop, manage, deploy, and monitor Azure functions in any language.• Make the most out of Azure functions to build scalable systems.• A step-by-step guide that will help you eliminate the pain points of implementing a serverless architecture.Who This Book Is ForThis book aims at IT architects and developers who want to build scalable systems and deploy serverless applications with Azure functions. No prior knowledge of Azure functions is necessary.What You Will Learn• Understand the folder structure of a function and the purposes of the files• Deploy a function and test it• Explore the common triggers that are used to activate a function• Discover how bindings can be used to output the results of a function• Build a dll that has functionality that can be leveraged by a function• Chain functions to allow the invocation of one function from another• Understand how to monitor the health of your functionsIn DetailFunctions help you easily run small pieces of code in cloud with Azure functions without worrying about a whole application or the infrastructure to run it. With Azure functions, you can use triggers to execute your code and bindings to simplify the input and output of your code.This book will start with the basics of Azure Functions. You will learn the steps to set up the environment and the tools that we will be using in the further chapters. Once you have a better understanding of this, we will be creating our first hello world function app. Later you will be introduced to triggers, how they are used to activate a function, and how binding can be used to output results of a function.You will also explore the steps to create an assembly with complex functionality that can be used by functions. Next, this book will teach you to scale your functions and use them to process data, integrate systems, and build simple APIs and microservices. Finally, this book will cover some diagnostic techniques with Azure App services and best practices of working with Azure Functions.By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the techniques of scaling your Azure functions and making the most of serverless architecture.Style and ApproachA step-by-side guide filled with real world examples that will guide you with the steps to build a scalable Cloud system

Get a problem-solution approach enriched with code examples for practical and easy comprehensionAbout This Book• Explore the use of more than 40 best-of-breed plug-ins for improving efficiency• Secure and maintain Jenkins 2.x by integrating it with LDAP and CAS, which is a Single Sign-on solution• Efficiently build advanced pipelines with pipeline as code, thus increasing your team's productivityWho This Book Is ForIf you are a Java developer, a software architect, a technical project manager, a build manager, or a development or QA engineer, then this book is ideal for you. A basic understanding of the software development life cycle and Java development is needed, as well as a rudimentary understanding of Jenkins.What You Will Learn• Install and Configure Jenkins 2.x on AWS and Azure• Explore effective ways to manage and monitor Jenkins 2.x• Secure Jenkins 2.x using Matrix-based Security• Deploying a WAR file from Jenkins 2.x to Azure App Services and AWS Beanstalk• Automate deployment of application on AWS and Azure PaaS• Continuous Testing – Unit Test Execution, Functional Testing and Load TestingIn DetailJenkins 2.x is one of the most popular Continuous Integration servers in the market today. It was designed to maintain, secure, communicate, test, build, and improve the software development process.This book will begin by guiding you through steps for installing and configuring Jenkins 2.x on AWS and Azure. This is followed by steps that enable you to manage and monitor Jenkins 2.x. You will also explore the ways to enhance the overall security of Jenkins 2.x. You will then explore the steps involved in improving the code quality using SonarQube. Then, you will learn the ways to improve quality, followed by how to run performance and functional tests against a web application and web services.Finally, you will see what the available plugins are, concluding with best practices to improve quality.Style and approachThis book provides a problem-solution approach to some common tasks and some uncommon tasks using Jenkins 2.x and is well-illustrated with practical code examples.

Your one step guide to learn all about AWS networking.Key Features Master your networking skills on Public CloudGain hands-on experience of using Amazon VPC, Elastic Load Balancing, Direct Connect and other AWS productsImplement troubleshooting skills and best practices for security on AWS networkBook Description Amazon Web Services (AWS) dominates the public cloud market by a huge margin and continues to be the first choice for many organizations. Networking has been an area of focus for all the leading cloud service providers. AWS has a suite of network-related products which help in performing network related task on AWS. This book initially covers the basics of networking in AWS. Then we use AWS VPC to create an isolated virtual cloud for performing network-related tasks. We then provide an overview of AWS Direct Connect after taking a deep dive into scalability and load balancing using the auto scaling feature, Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Route S3. Toward the end of the book, we cover troubleshooting tips and security best practices for your network. By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience of working with network tasks on AWS. What you will learn Overview of all networking services available in AWSGain work with load balance applications across different regionsLearn auto scale instances based on increases and decreases in trafficDeploy applications in a highly available and fault tolerant mannerConfigure Route 53 for a web applicationTroubleshooting tips and best practicesWho this book is for This book is for cloud architects, cloud solution providers, or any stakeholders dealing with networking on AWS Cloud. A prior idea of Amazon Web Services will be an added advantage.
