Chapters cover Azure Backup and how to configure it, followed by deep dives into aspects of Azure Site Recovery (ASR): how it works, how to configure it, how to streamline your disaster recovery failover from on-premises to Azure, and so on. Learn about protection groups, how to perform planned and unplanned failover, and more. Windows IT pro consultant, trainer and MVP Peter De Tender takes you through the necessary theory and background on each topic along with hands-on step-by-step lab guides to help you implement and configure each feature for yourself. You’ll also find out how to estimate your platform costs when using Azure infrastructure components, making this book your one-stop guide to the latest disaster recovery services in Microsoft Azure. What You'll LearnUnderstand current concepts and challenges in IT disaster recoveryGet introduced to Microsoft Azure, Azure virtual networks and Azure virtual machinesProtect your data in the cloud with Azure Backup, and the configuration options availableUnderstand how to protect, recover, and monitor your environment with Azure Site Recovery Manager, and the configuration options availableExtend Azure Site Recovery Manager to non-Hyper-V workloadsWho This Book Is ForIT professionals and IT decision makers who are interested in learning about Azure backup and Azure Site Recovery Manager in order to build and/or optimize theirIT disaster recovery scenarios.

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.What You Will LearnUse Azure to enable digital transformationCarry out Azure automated deployments using ARM templates and Azure DevOpsRun VM-based workloads on AzureMigrate VM-based workloads to Azure platform services Monitor Azure running workloads with Azure Monitor and Log AnalyticsWho This Book Is ForAnyone who wants to learn about different Azure architectures by going through hands-on exercises.
