Summary
In this chapter we looked at how we can create hybrid applications that allow parts of our application to run in Azure and parts to remain on a corporate or on-premises network. We looked at how we can utilize the Service Bus Relay Service to connect to on-premises WCF services that can sit on top of systems that will remain in the corporate network. We did all this while keeping those connections secure and proxied so that clients don't connect directly to the on-premises service endpoint. Lastly, we discussed how we can utilize the BizTalk Hybrid Connect functionality to connect directly to data sources for situations where we don't have a service layer built out.
