Cloud Services

• Hosting - IaaS - compute, storage, networking, containerization
• PaaS - databases, analytics
• SaaS
• Cloud Deployments Private, Public, Hybrid, multi-cloud (mix of multiple cloud providers)
• Infrastructure - focused for IT professionals
• Platform - aimed at web developer, devops
• BI and AI - Data engineers
• Connnected Devices - IOT services
• Operations - management, alerting, monitoring, security, identity,IT pro and developers
• Others - Blockchain, gaming, AR and VR, digital twins

Dev Centric Azure Services

• Compute - VM, Virtual Machine Scale Set, Azure Batch (used to run scheduled jobs), Service Fabric (micro services deployment and management at scale), VM Dedicated host, Cycle cloud, Functions (Server less),
• Containerization - OS level virtualization and VM is hardware level virtualization.
• Container Instances (ACI) - Serverless container hosting
• Kubernetes as a service (AKS) - managed service
• Azure Container Registry (ACR) - Private docker hub

Azure Management Tools

• ARM - cannot decommission a resource (IAC - Infrastructure as a code). Includes json and input parameters. Can have multiple json files for dev, prod and test.
• Az cli
• Azure RM powershell
• Portal
• Mobile App
• Rest Api

Database Services

• Azure SQL Database
• SQL Server by VM - allows server level control
• Azure SQL Server - allows database level control
• Azure SQL data migration services

No SQL Services

• Doc Store - Mongo
• KV Store - Redis
• Column Store - Cassandra. More focused on columnar format
• Graph Store - Neo4j, Gremlin
• Table Storage - semi structured storage for doc types
• Cosmos DB
• Azure Redis Cache

Kubernetes (K8S) provides

• app centric management
• platform independent
• cloud native
• Provides distributed system and deployment management
• Container runtime independent
• generally microservices are containerised
• No software licensing cost
• whole package is 70MB
• Automatic scaling based on policies
• Self healing
• Offers label based node selection dynamically
• Provides built dashboards
• Setup alerts also

K8S architecture

• Follows master worker architecture or client server architecture
• Master - controls
• Node - client/worker
• In AKS you pay only for node. Rest of the pieces is completely controlled by AKS(Azure Kuberbenetes Service)

Azure AD

• Azure AD connect - sync On Premise AD and cloud
• Azure AD B2C - Supports external OAuth providers
