Book Description

Azure offers a wide range of services, providing a million ways to architect your solution. This Azure Architecture Mapbook uses original maps and expert analysis to help you to explore the capabilities of the Microsoft Cloud platform and choose the best solutions for your unique requirements.

Starting with the key aspects of architecture, the book shows you how to map the different Azure architectural perspectives and covers a variety of use cases for each architecture. Once you’ve learned the basic elements, you’ll be taken through topics such as non-IaC (infrastructure as code) while exploring the Infrastructure Architecture Map. As you design your solution’s infrastructure, you’ll build on your knowledge of the different architecture types and dependencies in the areas of networking, monitoring, disaster recovery, backup and restore, and high-performance computing. The book will also take you through application development architecture and building an app on the Microsoft Cloud, and let you explore the overall architectural structure of each area of the cloud platform, including building a solution, infrastructure design and deployment, application architecture, data, and security.

By the end of this book, you’ll have learned best practices and gained deeper knowledge of the different architectural perspectives.
