Azure 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.

Getting Started with Azure
In this chapter, we will learn how to set up our virtual organization called the tenant, understand how to access it, and what elements make up our Azure experience. We will learn the differences and boundaries between a tenant, subscription, and resource groups. Then, we will cover how to leverage the marketplace to provide quick solutions through the portal and understand common terminology.
In this chapter, we will be covering the following topics:
Getting started with Azure
How I started using Azure
Understanding the role of the marketplace in Azure
Common Azure terminology used when using the portal

What is cloud computing?
It is the delivery of computer services over the internet to assist with resource flexibility, scale, and innovation. These services include servers/VMs, physical storage, data repositories, networking resources, analytics, software, and more. These services are offered at a much smaller pay-for-use model than physical data centers and organizations generally migrate to the compute service model for the following reasons:
Global
allows an organization to scale elastically and allow regional entry points, providing a more consistent experience for their user base
Speed
allows the faster provision of resources and helps release pressure on capacity planning because it removed the need to order and wait for resources
Cost
is simplified into a pay-as-you-go model, removing the capital expense over the physical resources
Security
is provided through an extensive set of policies and controls that strengthen your overall security posture
Productivity
is increased by removing a significant number of tasks, such as hardware setup, patching, and other operational management chores
Performance
is achieved through worldwide distribution of services and is regularly updated to the latest generation of computing hardware
Cloud computing comes in private, public, and hybrid types, with each offering its own benefits:
Public clouds
are generally owned by third parties such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Google, who control all the supporting infrastructure, hardware, and software
Private clouds
are owned by a business and maintained on a private network
Hybrid clouds
are combinations of public and private, as well as on-premise resources
But at the end of the day, what problems do clouds solve? Let’s understand this in the following section.
What problems does it solve?
The biggest benefit of the cloud is it allows organizations to expand without a large capital cost, and also allows new/small businesses to shrink their startup or capital into a pay-as-you-go model. The cloud allows for innovation to happen without the traditional fears of infrastructure purchases, giving the ability to bring up and tear down in a rapid and cost effective way with little concern for the infrastructure needed.
Think of it as an unlimited playground where the only true limit is your imagination. You can now build, migrate, or rebuild your applications, so you truly only have to worry about the application and not about everything around it. So, the problem it solves is allowing your organization to scale faster, while controlling cost and offline responsibilities to help streamline IT operations.
The cloud targets not only development but operational resources, allowing you to focus on the things that truly matter to an organization. It fosters increased communication between all facets of the organization, from requirement gathering to automated deployment and testing. Let’s take a look at Microsoft’s cloud solution, Azure.
What is Azure?
Azure is Microsoft’s cloud offering, which comes in private, on-premise (Azure Stack), government, and public versions (refer to this link for further details https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/overview/what-is-a-private-cloud/). It was announced on October 2008, released on February 2010, and is the next evolution of virtualization. The magic of Azure is built on top of a technology called Service Fabric and Fabric controllers; it works as a distributed application system that handles the allocation of servers or services, monitors the health of these, and heals them as needed. Each Fabric Controller orchestrates all the resources needed within the Azure platform. All the network resources and servers have been abstracted out of your view and there is no longer a need to support and maintain these resources. This will create what is referred to as a closed ecosystem, and Azure offers its services in this closed ecosystem for mass consumption. This closed ecosystem allows its consumers to not have to worry about the underlying technology and, in most cases, the operating system needs to support that technology. This has helped in abstracting away the need to support the many facets of technology in today's organizations.
As I grew up in the development world, I had to learn firsthand how frameworks moved the line of responsibility. In the development of applications, this leads to some uncomfortable moments as I had to learn to adjust to these new lines. This learning process allowed me to focus more on the application I was developing and less on how each piece needed to be integrated with the underlying system. New frameworks such as the Entity Framework for database integration or the Windows Identity Framework
