Architectural and Cost Optimization Considerations
In this chapter, we are going to focus on some of the other services you will likely need in most, if not all, deployments of Cognitive Services within Azure. We will discuss Ocean Smart evaluated options and demonstrate how they fit into an overall architecture to build a full solution. After describing these services, we will discuss how Ocean Smart was able to optimize its costs while building the complete solution. We will also cover what considerations should be made as you progress from PoC to Pilot, to user testing, and finally to production. This can be very complicated as it requires significant attention to detail and constantly keeping an eye on deployments to minimize costs and follow best practices.
This chapter will cover the following topics:
- Exploring core Azure services and costs
- Estimating the costs for a proof-of-concept solution, including all services
- Understanding data orchestration for...
