Chapter 12
What to Do Next
The technical capabilities of Azure infrastructure services have been described in detail throughout this book, and the key point that Azure becomes an extension of your datacenter is hopefully clear. Those services in Azure can be used in many different ways: to offer complete solutions, to supplement on-premises environments, as test/development environments, and even for disaster recovery. Often the adoption of a public cloud technology such as Azure is not solely based on technical capability but also on learning to trust a solution and overcome barriers—both real and imagined. This chapter focuses on overcoming both types of barriers and starting your journey to Azure services.
In this chapter, you will learn to:
- Address the common concerns related to using the public cloud specific to Azure.
- Use encryption in Azure.
- Understand the first steps when adopting Azure.
