Designing Web Applications
Microsoft Azure offers services for a wide variety of compute-related needs, including traditional compute resources like virtual machines, as well as serverless and container-based services. In this lesson, you will learn how to design a compute infrastructure using the appropriate Azure services.
Some of the highlights include:
- Designing highly available implementations using fault domains, update domains, availability sets, scale sets, availability zones, and multi-region deployments
- Ensuring business continuity and disaster recovery using Azure Backup, System Center DPM, and Azure Recovery Services
- Creating event-driven functions in a serverless environment using Azure Functions and Azure Log Apps
- Designing microservices-based applications using Azure Container Service, which supports Kubernetes, and Azure Service Fabric, which is Microsoft’s proprietary container orchestrator
- Deploying high-performance web applications with autoscaling using Azure App Service
- Managing and securing APIs using Azure API Management and Azure Active Directory
- Running compute-intensive jobs on clusters of servers using Azure Batch and Azure Batch AI
Learning Objectives
- Design Azure solutions using virtual machines, serverless computing, and microservices
- Design web solutions using Azure App Service
- Run compute-intensive applications using Azure Batch
Intended Audience
- People who want to become Azure cloud architects
- People preparing for a Microsoft Azure certification exam
