Summary
This chapter focused on working with a WordPress sample solution that leverages a MySQL database as a data store. We started by showing you how to set up the cluster to connect the MySQL database by installing Open Service Broker for Azure. We then showed you how to set up a MySQL database and drastically minimize the attack surface by changing the default configuration to not allow public access to the database. Then, we discussed how to restore the database from a backup and how to leverage the solution for DR. Finally, we discussed how to configure the audit logs for troubleshooting.
In the next chapter, you will learn how to implement microservices on AKS, including by using Event Hubs for loosely coupled integration between applications.
