Summary
In this chapter, we covered the fundamentals of Azure by looking at Azure Resource Manager, Microsoft Entra ID, the authorization mechanism, and the basic toolset. By now, you should be familiar with topics such as security principals, RBAC, and ABAC. What’s more, you started building skills related to the Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell. Those come in very handy in the next chapters, where we’ll cover various Azure services in detail.
In the next chapter, we’ll talk a little bit about IaC. While that topic is a very wide area linked to various roles (development, operations, and security), getting a basic understanding of how Azure resources can be deployed will improve your skillset and simplify many tasks.
