Implement microservices starting with their architecture and moving on to deployment, manageability, security, and monitoring. This book focuses on the critical scenarios where microservices architecture is preferred over monolithic architecture. Building Microservices Applications on Microsoft Azure begins with a survey of microservices architecture compared to monolithic architecture and covers microservices implementation in detail. You'll see the critical scenarios where microservices architecture is preferred over a monolithic approach. From there, you will explore microservices' critical components and various deployment options on platforms such as Microsoft Azure (public cloud) and Azure Stack (hybrid cloud). This includes in-depth coverage of developing, deploying, and monitoring microservices on containers and orchestrating with Azure Service Fabric and Azure Kubernetes Cluster (AKS). This book contains practical experience from large-scale enterprise deployments. Therefore it can be a quick reference for solution architects and developers to understand the critical factors while designing a microservices application.
