3. Design pattern – Networks, storage, messaging, and events
In the previous chapter, you got an overview of the Azure cloud and learned about some of the important concepts related to it. This chapter is about Azure cloud patterns that are related to virtual networks, storage accounts, regions, Availability Zones, and Availability Sets. These are important constructs that affect the final architecture delivered to customers in terms of cost, efficiencies, and overall productivity. The chapter also briefly discusses the cloud patterns that help us to implement scalability and performance for an architecture.
In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- Azure Virtual Network design
- Azure Storage design
- Azure Availability Zones, regions, and Availability Sets
- Azure design patterns related to messaging, performance, and scalability
