Cloud Concepts – Principles of cloud computing

Cloud computing is renting resources, like storage space or CPU cycles, on another company’s computers. You only pay for what you use. The company providing these services is referred to as a cloud provider. Some example providers are Microsoft, Amazon, and Google.

The cloud provider is responsible for the physical hardware required to execute your work, and for keeping it up-to-date. The computing services offered tend to vary by cloud provider. However, typically they include:

Compute power – such as Linux servers or web applications
Storage – such as files and databases
Networking – such as secure connections between the cloud provider and your company
Analytics – such as visualizing telemetry and performance data

Create an Azure account

You can buy Azure straightforwardly from Microsoft by joining on the Azure site or through a Microsoft agent. You can likewise buy Azure through a Microsoft accomplice. Cloud Solution Provider accomplices offer a scope of complete oversaw cloud answers for Azure.

In case you’re new to Azure, you can pursue a free record on the Azure site to begin investigating at no expense to you. When you’re prepared, you can decide to redesign and begin paying for the Azure administrations you use over the free sums.

Core Cloud Services – Azure architecture and service guarantees

You’re an entrepreneur with an incredible arrangement of online administrations that your customers love. The one trouble you face is a few customers are encountering a system slack getting to your administrations from inaccessible areas. This issue used to be costly to settle – requiring new server farms and exorbitant systems to associate them. The development of distributed computing has made the arrangement simple.

Sky blue permits you to increase worldwide reach with neighborhood nearness, keep your information secure and consistent with nearby laws, and have a decreased carbon impression with Microsoft’s condition amicable datacenters.

Core Cloud Services – Manage services with the Azure portal

You can arrange and oversee Azure utilizing an expansive scope of apparatuses and stages. There are devices accessible for the order line, language-explicit Software Development Kits (SDKs), engineer devices, apparatuses for movement, and numerous others.

Apparatuses that are normally utilized for everyday administration and association include:

Sky blue entryway for communicating with Azure by means of a Graphical User Interface (GUI)

Sky blue PowerShell and Azure Command-Line Interface (CLI) for order line and computerization based communications with Azure

Sky blue Cloud Shell for an online order line interface

Sky blue portable application for checking and dealing with your assets from your cell phone

Core Cloud Services – Azure compute options

Azure compute is an on-demand computing service for running cloud-based applications. It provides computing resources like multi-core processors and supercomputers via virtual machines and containers. It also provides serverless computing to run apps without requiring infrastructure setup or configuration. The resources are available on-demand and can typically be created in minutes or even seconds. You pay only for the resources you use and only for as long as you’re using them.

There are four common techniques for performing compute in Azure:

Virtual machines
Containers
Azure App Service
Serverless computing

Core Cloud Services – Azure data storage options

Your training data includes high-quality video, detailed sales simulations, and large repositories for maintaining student data and progress. Currently, all the training content is stored in your on-premises storage. You have an aggressive plan to add new courses and would like to avoid the need to continuously increase the local storage capacity. You’re looking for a storage solution that is secure, durable, scalable, and easily accessible from across the globe.

In this module, you will:

Survey the data storage options in Azure
Discover how Azure data storage can meet your business demands
Compare Azure data storage with on-premises storage

Core Cloud Services – Azure networking options

Running your app or service in the cloud requires a fast and secure network. Learn some of the Azure networking basics and how Azure networking helps improve resiliency and reduce latency.

In this module, you will:

Learn how virtual networking helps you isolate network and compute resources
Learn how Azure Load Balancer helps improve resiliency, or the ability to recover when your service goes down
Learn how Traffic Manager can route traffic to different endpoints, including the endpoint with the lowest latency to the user

Security, responsibility, and trust in Azure

Discuss the basic concepts for protecting your infrastructure and data when you work in the cloud. Understand what responsibilities are yours and what Azure takes care of for you.

Apply and monitor infrastructure standards with Azure Policy

Good IT governance involves planning your initiatives and setting priorities on a strategic level to help manage and prevent issues.

You need good governance when:

You have multiple engineering teams working in Azure
You have multiple subscriptions in your tenant
You have regulatory requirements that must be enforced
You want to ensure standards are followed for all IT allocated resources

You could enforce standards by not allowing teams to directly create Azure resources – and instead have the IT team define and deploy all cloud-based assets. This approach is often the solution in on-premises situations, but this requirement reduces the team agility and ability to innovate. Instead, Azure provides several tools you can use to enforce and validate your standards, while still allowing your engineering teams to create and own their own resources in the cloud.

Control and organize Azure resources with Azure Resource Manager

Imagine you’ve joined a company who has been moving to the cloud. This movement happened organically across different departments, and resulted in a lack of awareness of what’s already been created and where everything is. There’s no ability to easily determine who owns which resources. There’s no enforcement of standards for things like resource names, resource sizes, and geographic locations. There’s also been several instances where critical resources were inadvertently deleted, causing business-critical outages.

Your manager has asked you to head up an effort to put some order into the chaos, but you’re new to Azure and aren’t entirely sure what you can do to make this better.

Azure Resource Manager has a number of features that you can use to organize resources, enforce standards, and protect critical Azure resources from accidental deletion. We’ll take a tour through these features, and show how you can use them to your advantage.

Predict costs and optimize spending for Azure

Cost is one of the most important aspects of the cloud and can have a massive impact on your business. Azure has several tools available to help you get a better understanding of cloud spend and some best practices that you can leverage to help you save money.
