Adopt Azure IaaS and migrate your on-premise infrastructure partially or fully to Azure. This book provides practical solutions by following Microsoft’s design and best practice guidelines for building highly available, scalable, and secure solution stacks using Microsoft Azure IaaS. The author starts by giving an overview of Azure IaaS and its components: you’ll see the new aspects of Azure Resource Manager, storage in IaaS, and Azure networking. As such, you’ll cover design considerations for migration and implementation of infrastructure services, giving you practical skills to apply to your own projects. The next part of the book takes you through the different components of Azure IaaS that need to be included in a resilient architecture and how to set up a highly available infrastructure in Azure. The author focuses on the tools available for Azure IaaS automated provisioning and the different performance monitoring and fine-tuning options available for the platform. Finally, you’ll gain practical skills in Azure security and implementing Azure architectures.After reading Practical Microsoft Azure IaaS, you will have learned how to map the familiar on-premise architecture components to their cloud infrastructure counterparts. This book provides a focused and practical approach to designing solutions to be hosted in Azure IaaS.What You Will LearnMap the key Azure components to familiar concepts in infrastructure, such as virtualization, storage provisioning, switching, and firewallsImplement Azure IaaS deployment architectures Design IaaS environments in line with the Microsoft recommended best practices for scalability, resiliency, availability, performance, and securityManage the operational aspects of hosted environments, leverage automation, and fine tune for optimal performanceWho This Book Is ForInfrastructure and solution architects with skills in on-premise infrastructure design who want to up-skill in Azure IaaS.

<p>Explore the architectural constructs of Azure monitoring capabilities and learn various design and implementation aspects for complex use cases. This book covers the different scenarios in a modern-day multi-cloud enterprise and the tools available in Azure for monitoring and securing these environments. <br><i>Understanding Azure Monitoring</i> starts by discussing the rapid changes happening in the cloud and the challenges faced by cloud architects. You will then look at the basics of Azure monitoring and the available tools, including service level agreements (SLAs), auditing, and security. Next, you will learn how to select the best tools for monitoring, operational strategy, and integration with on-premises SIEM systems. <br>You’ll work through some scenario-based examples to monitor the workload and respond to failures. Here, you will monitor a simple web application on Azure, a multi-region web application, and applications that include PaaS and IaaS services. Towards the end of the book, you will explore monitoring in DevOps and see why it is important to be aware of continuous changes. <br><b>What You Will Learn</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Work with Azure IaaS and PaaS resources and monitoring and diagnostics capabilities</li>
<li>Discover how the operational landscape changes on Azure</li>
<li>Look at cloud-only and on-premises hybrid integration</li>
<li>Study architectural constructs for design and implementation</li>
</ul>
<b>Who This Book Is For</b><br>Infrastructure and solution architects who want to integrate Azure-based monitoring solutions in a cloud native or hybrid-cloud architecture.<br>

Understanding Azure Monitoring: Includes IaaS and PaaS Scenarios

Chakraborty, Bapi

<p>Use the Azure&nbsp;well-architected framework to deploy your workloads in Azure and align them with Microsoft recommended best practices. This book takes a deep dive into the five architecture elements (cost optimization, performance efficiency, operational excellence, reliability, and security) and provides practical guidance on incorporating them into your architecture. <div><br /></div> <div>The book starts with an introduction to the relevance of the well-architectured&nbsp;framework and why it should&nbsp;form the baseline of your design decisions when deploying applications in Azure. You will learn how customers can optimize the cost of deployment in Azure and understand all aspects of implementation. The book takes you through the practices and processes to be followed to run applications smoothly and you will understand the end-to-end process of design, deployment, and monitoring. You will go through paradigms for designing environments to meet different performance demands. The book covers how to build resilient and highly available applications in Azure with a sample configuration for monitoring. And you will learn how to enable security to ensure confidentiality and integrity of workloads in Azure.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>After reading this book, you will know the practical nuances of designing high-performing applications in the Microsoft cloud.&nbsp;</div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><b>What You Will Learn</b></div> <div> <ul> <li>Understand the five pillars of the well-architected framework</li> <li>Use tools and services to optimize cost</li> <li>Design for performance efficiency</li> <li>Deal with threat vectors in the cloud</li> </ul> </div> <div><br /></div> <div><br /></div> <div><b>Who This Book Is For</b></div> <div><br /></div> <div>Solution architects and cloud teams in Azure<br /></div></p>
