Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc: Explore the new-generation hybrid cloud and learn how to build Azure Arc-enabled solutions

Accelerate hybrid cloud innovation using Azure Arc with the help of real-world scenarios and examples

Key Features

  • Get to grips with setting up and working with Azure Arc
  • Harness the power of Azure Arc and its integration with cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services
  • Manage, govern, and monitor your on-premises servers and applications with Azure

Book Description

With all the options available for deploying infrastructure on multi-cloud platforms and on-premises comes the complexity of managing it, which is adeptly handled by Azure Arc. This book will show you how you can manage environments across platforms without having to migrate workloads from on-premises or multi-cloud to Azure every time.

Implementing Hybrid Cloud with Azure Arc starts with an introduction to Azure Arc and hybrid cloud computing, covering use cases and various supported topologies. You’ll learn to set up Windows and Linux servers as Arc-enabled machines and get to grips with deploying applications on Kubernetes clusters with Azure Arc and GitOps. The book then demonstrates how to onboard an on-premises SQL Server infrastructure as an Arc-enabled SQL Server and deploy and manage a hyperscale PostgreSQL infrastructure on-premises through Azure Arc. Along with deployment, the book also covers security, backup, migration, and data distribution aspects. Finally, it shows you how to deploy and manage Azure’s data services on your own private cloud and explore multi-cloud solutions with Azure Arc.

By the end of this book, you’ll have a firm understanding of Azure Arc and how it interacts with various cutting-edge technologies such as Kubernetes and PaaS data services.

What you will learn

  • Set up a fully functioning Azure Arc-managed environment
  • Explore products and services from Azure that will help you to leverage Azure Arc
  • Understand the new vision of working with on-premises infrastructure
  • Deploy Azure’s PaaS data services on-premises or on other cloud platforms
  • Discover and learn about the technologies required to design a hybrid and multi-cloud strategy
  • Implement best practices to govern your IT infrastructure in a scalable model

Azure DevOps Explained

Bring the benefits of Azure Pack to your cloud service and discover the secrets of enterprise-class solutions

About this book

Developing applications for the cloud involves changing development methodologies and procedures. Continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes are a must today, but are often difficult to implement and adopt. Azure DevOps is Microsoft Azure’s cloud service which enhances your application development life cycle and enables DevOps capabilities.

Starting with a comprehensive product overview, this book helps you to understand Azure DevOps and apply DevOps techniques to your development projects. You’ll find out how to adopt DevOps techniques for your development processes by using inbuilt Azure DevOps tools. Through the course of this book, you’ll also discover how to manage a project with the help of project management techniques such as Agile or Scrum, and then progress toward development aspects such as source code management, build pipelines, code testing and artifacts, release pipelines, and GitHub integration. While you learn to implement DevOps practices, this book will also provide you with real-world examples and scenarios of DevOps adoption.

By the end of this DevOps book, you will have learned how to adopt and implement Azure DevOps features in your real-world development processes.
