Azure Fundamentals Training Day Flashcards
Regions
Made up of one or more datacenters in close proximity for hosting Azure services
Agility
Deploying and configuring cloud-based resources quickly as business requirements change
Availability Zones
Physically separate datacenters within the same region
Provide protection against downtime due to datacenter failure
Each datacenter is equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking
Connected through private fiber-optic networks
Region Pairs
Allow the replication of Azure resources across geographies to help ensure that a secondary region is available in case of any disaster at the primary region
Azure Sovereign Regions
Separate instance of Azure, physically isolated from non-US government deployments
Accessible only to screened, authorized personnel
Meets the security and compliance needs of US federal agencies, state and local government
Azure China
All data stays within China to ensure compliance
Physically separated instance of Azure cloud services
___ can only be associated with a single subscription
Resources
Resource Group
Logical container used to combine and organize Azure resources
Resources can only exist in one resource group
Resources can exist in different regions
Resources can be moved to different resource groups
Applications can utilize multiple resource groups
What is an Azure Storage account named storage001 an example of?
A resource
Azure Subscription
Provides you with authenticated and authorized access to Azure accounts
Billing Boundary
Generate separate billing reports and invoices for each subscription
Access Control Boundary
Manage and control access to the resources that users can provision with specific subscriptions
Management Groups
Used to manage multiple Azure subscriptions at scale, including their access, policies, and compliance
VM Scale Sets
Provide a load-balanced opportunity to automatically scale resources; scale out when resource needs increase, scale in when needs are lower
VM Availability Sets
Groups VMs into three domains so that if power or network fails in one domain, VMs are still available from another domain
Azure Container Instances
Allows you to deploy containers in Azure without having to provision or manage any underlying infrastructure
Azure Container Apps
Fully managed serverless container service for building and deploying modern apps at scale
Azure Kubernetes Service
An orchestration service for containers with distributed architectures and large volumes of containers
Azure Functions
PaaS offering that supports serverless compute operations. Event-based code runs when called without requiring server infrastructure during inactive periods
Azure App Services
Fully managed platform to build, deploy, and scale web apps and APIs quickly.
Works with .NET, .NET Core, Node.js, Java, Python, or php
Azure Virtual Network (VNet)
Enables Azure resources to communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks
Can be used for public or private access, virtual subnets, or network peering to connect private networks
ExpressRoute
Extends on-prem networks into Azure over a private connection that is facilitated by a connectivity provider
Azure DNS
Host and manage DNS domains or DNS zones through Azure
Storage Accounts
Must have a globally unique name
Provides over-the-internet access worldwide
Determine storage and redundancy options
LRS
Locally redundant storage
Single datacenter in primary region
11 nines durability
ZRS
Zone redundant storage
Three availability zones in the primary region
12 nines durability
GRS
Geo redundant storage
Single datacenter in the primary and secondary region
16 nines durability
GZRS
Geo zone redundant storage
Three availability zones in the primary region and a single datacenter in the secondary region
16 nines durability
Azure Blob
Optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data, such as text or binary data
Azure Disk
Provides disks for VMs, applications, and other services to access and use
Azure Queue
Message storage service that provides storage and retrieval for large amounts of messages, each up to 64KB
Commonly used to create a backlog of work to be accessed asynchronously
Azure Files
Sets up a highly available network file share that can be accessed using the SMB protocol
Azure Tables
Provides a key/attribute option for structured non-relational data storage with a schema-less design
