Microservices with Azure

Microsoft Azure Platform and Services Primer

Organizations today need to be agile and have a fast way to differentiate themselves from the competition. Many organizations that only relied on software to fulfill their support needs are now embracing it to drive their core competency. Satya Nadella, CEO Microsoft, quoted this phenomenon in his speech at the Convergence Conference:

Every business will be a software business
                       – Satya Nadella, March 2015, Convergence Conference, USA

With the advent of software to the core business of organizations, the organizations have started demanding more agility and features out of the application hosting platforms. Organizations today have strict requirements of agility, availability, and DevOps. Since such requirements do not get sufficiently met by monolithic...

PaaS for Microservices

Microservices need to be updated, scaled, and managed, both individually and as a cohesive unit. The PaaS environment that supports Microservices development should have the following features.

Abstract infrastructure challenges

A Microservices development platform should not allow Quality of Service (QoS) challenges such as network latency, messaging formats, scalability, availability, and reliability to propagate to the application.

Scaling is a key enabler of the cloud platform. Scaling can be performed either by migrating the application to a host with higher compute capacity, also known as scaling up, or by adding more hosts with the same compute capacity to the pool of resources that the application...

Microsoft Azure – the choice of a hosting platform

Microsoft Azure is an Internet-scale cloud platform hosted in data centers, managed and supported by Microsoft. It has been available for public consumption since early 2010. Having grown very rapidly, Azure today provides services on all cloud stacks such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, covering a wide range of offerings around computing, storage, networking, mobile, analytics, and many more.

Choosing a hosting service for your application is an important task. The choice is usually based on factors such as the hardware and software requirements of the application, the required control over the hosting environment, operational cost, options to scale, and supported deployment methods. The hosting services offered by Azure range from fully controllable virtual machines to the capability to host serverless code.

The...

Summary

In this chapter, we discussed the challenges that an ideal platform for hosting Microservices should address. We then briefly discussed Microservices application lifecycle management and ways to simplify development of Microservices.

In the last section, we compared different Microsoft Azure cloud stacks capable of hosting Microservices.

In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into Microsoft Azure Service Fabric as a platform for hosting enterprise-grade Microservices.

Description

Microsoft Azure is rapidly evolving and is widely used as a platform on which you can build Microservices that can be deployed on-premise and on-cloud heterogeneous environments through Microsoft Azure Service Fabric. This book will help you understand the concepts of Microservice application architecture and build highly maintainable and scalable enterprise-grade applications using the various services in Microsoft Azure Service Fabric. We will begin by understanding the intricacies of the Microservices architecture and its advantages over the monolithic architecture and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. We will present various scenarios where Microservices should be used and walk you through the architectures of Microservice-based applications. Next, you will take an in-depth look at Microsoft Azure Service Fabric, which is the best–in-class platform for building Microservices. You will explore how to develop and deploy sample applications on Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to gain a thorough understanding of it. Building Microservice-based application is complicated. Therefore, we will take you through several design patterns that solve the various challenges associated with realizing the Microservices architecture in enterprise applications. Each pattern will be clearly illustrated with examples that you can keep referring to when designing applications. Finally, you will be introduced to advanced topics such as Serverless computing and DevOps using Service Fabric, to help you undertake your next venture with confidence.
