Welcome to Hands-On Cloud Administration in Azure. This book is designed to help you start with Azure and guide you on your cloud journey. We will start with cloud concepts that will help you to understand the difference between cloud and local infrastructure. Basic Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS) services will be explained, to help you understand how to leverage cloud to your advantage. Next, we'll move to migration and then hybrid cloud, and explain how to move your services to the cloud and how to combine them with on-premises resources. Identity and security will be covered in order to explain how to secure and protect your cloud resources. Finally, we'll go over some best practices and Infrastructure-as-Code to help you administer and monitor your resources.
Everything will be covered with real-world examples and a step-by-step approach that will help you to understand cloud principles and apply them in your environment.
