Azure Architecture Insights

• Cost awareness • Design for savings • Utilize available services • Change the way you think about computing • Learn to use the built in tools

• Costs • • • •

Egress Storage Connectivity I/O on unmanaged vs managed disks.

• Savings • Identity management • Everything is incrementally priced based on usage • Basic services are easy to get into and additional functionality adds up. • Use Patterns and Practices guides. • Use built in Azure load balancers • Change the way you think about computers. • • • •

Think in terms of resource3s not metal boxes. Learn Azure PowerShell and Azure AD PowerShell IaaS is a transition method, not a end goal Design for fault tolerance, as Azure plans for failure, not just MTBF uptime.

• Consider using standard VMS (IaaS), and then special VMs for short term usage , such as data mining. www.netcomlearning.com | info@netcomlearning.com | (888) 563 8266

Design by anticipating cost structure

• Ingress not Egress • Storage costs in the cloud are different than on premise • Optimize bandwidth, think of the cloud as a WAN to help visualize • Anticipate I/O throttling on unmanaged disks in a storage account • Basic services are easy to get into and additional functionality adds up.

Azure Service Fabric

• Distributed systems platform to package, deploy and

manage microservices and containers • Avoids complex infrastructure problems • High density microservice applications running on a shared cluster of machines • Container deployment and orchestration • Stateless and stateful services

Patterns & Practices on GitHub

Microsoft Patterns & Practices shares much of their documentation, projects and findings today on GitHub: https://github.com/mspnp For example, the Microservices Reference Implementation shares best practices when designing a microservices solution running on Azure using Kubernetes: https://github.com/mspnp/microservices-referenceimplementation www.netcomlearning.com | info@netcomlearning.com | (888) 563 8266

Azure Resource Manager Templates

Provide a scalable, repeatable method for deploying Azure resources All resources in the ARM model are built using JSON templates https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates

Deploying Resources

• PowerShell • Cross Platform Command-Line Interface • Client Libraries

• Visual Studio • Portal template deployment • All use the REST API: The REST API is available

here: https://docs.microsoft.com/rest/api/resources

Azure Building Blocks

Designed to simplify deployment of Azure resources Provides a command line tool and set of Azure Resource Manager templates https://github.com/mspnp/template-building-blocks/

On-Premises Lift and Shift

First stage of a migration may be move the workload direct to IaaS in Azure, having completed this the potential is to follow the modernization maturity model

Web Apps

• Web Apps: • Near instant deployment • SSL and Custom Domain Names available in some tiers • WebJobs provide background processing for independent scaling • Can Scale to larger machines without redeploying applications • Virtual Machines: • Need Availability Sets or Load Balancers to prevent simultaneous restarts for maintenance or hardware failures • Additional machines needed for background processing www.netcomlearning.com | info@netcomlearning.com | (888) 563 8266

Azure Storage Accounts

Storage accounts are further split into General Purpose and Blob Storage Type of Account

General Purpose Standard

General Purpose Premium

Blob Storage (hot and cool access tiers)

Services Supported

Blob, File, Queue services

Blob service

Types of Blobs supported

Block blobs, Page blobs and Append blobs

Page blobs

Block blobs and Append blobs
