It explains the various<br \/>network topologies and addresses common infrastructure concerns, such as backup\/restore, high<br \/>availability, and disaster recovery.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 4<\/strong>, Working with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), is an in-depth exploration of AKS, with<br \/>detailed architectures addressing single and multi-tenant clusters. The chapter highlights the<br \/>key role played by logic isolation and service meshes.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 5<\/strong>, Working with Other Container Services, makes an extensive comparison between container<br \/>services to help you choose the right one that best fits your unique requirements.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 6<\/strong>, Developing and Designing Applications with Azure, describes what each application factory<br \/>should master to be efficient when developing cloud solutions, from local development tools and<br \/>emulators to the most recurrent cloud-native design patterns.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 7<\/strong>, Data Architecture, covers the most recurrent data patterns, such as Lambda, Kappa,<br \/>and Medallion architecture, as well as the traditional Online Transaction Processing (OLTP)<br \/>and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) services and the emerging Hybrid Transactional\/<br \/>Analytical Processing (HTAP) capabilities.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 8<\/strong>, Artificial Intelligence Architecture, explores both established and emerging AI patterns<br \/>that have proven their relevance and are shaping the future of intelligent systems. Because the<br \/>field evolves so rapidly, the chapter emphasizes architectural patterns and design principles<br \/>rather than hands-on exercises.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 9<\/strong>, Security Architecture, provides a 360-degree view of Azure\u2019s security landscape and tackles<br \/>typical concerns such as identity and access management, threat detection, security posture<br \/>management, compliance, and governance.<\/p><p><strong>Chapter 10<\/strong>, Closing Thoughts and Next steps, provides a summary of the entire book as well as useful<br \/>resources, which can help you deepen your skills further.<\/p><p><strong>Code<\/strong><\/p><p>This book also includes Terraform code samples which you can use\/open with Visual Studio Code.

I like it. Many authors use repeat method so for example in first chapter describe something and then after couple of pages repeat the same message. Yes, you can get a lot of pages with that method but I don&#8217;t like to read it.\u00a0<\/p><p>I also like these mind maps. You can see the dependencies and main levels easily with one look.<\/p><p>Stephane has created a guidebook with to plan, design and build a well form Azure environment.\u00a0<\/p><p>To read and understand this book you need to know some basics of the Azure environments. This is book is not for dummies but still welcomes everyone to read it though the learning curve can be steep.<\/p><p>And for me who does security with Microsoft security products this is a very interesting book since it gives me tips to design security even better than I know now.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6dac530 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"6dac530\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f0b3d9b elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f0b3d9b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-26a9ba6\" data-id=\"26a9ba6\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-615511fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-author-box\" data-id=\"615511fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"author-box.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div  class=\"elementor-author-box__avatar\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.jussimetso.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/jussi_06_2024.jpg?fit=262%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Picture of Jussi Metso\" loading=\"lazy\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-author-box__name\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJussi Metso\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-author-box__bio\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Author is a lifelong IT enthusiast, Microsoft Security MVP and interested in Cloud Security, XDR, SIEM and AI.
