Integrate Azure services in a solution Flashcards
Overview
1) Creating data-centric web applications
2) Working with Big Data and the Internet of Things
3) Building enterprise mobile applications
4) Creating media applications
5) Managing related services
Creating data-centric web applications ingredients
1) automatically abstract schemas out of data sets to re-enable structured queries
2) use full-text indexes
3) Content Delivery Networks
Map between Azure services and application features
1) Search and query ->DocumentDB, Azure search
2) cache -> Azure cache, CDN
3) Recommendation - >Azure search, azure machine learning
Azure DocumentDB features
1) NoSQL database for JSON documents
2) It automatically indexes all documents for relational and hierarchical queries.
3) DocumentDB is optimized for frequent writes
Azure Search
1) Instead of trying to manually locate the correct page to view, users can easily acquire the most relevant data by performing simple searches
2) autosuggestion, autocompletion, faceted searches, results highlighting, spell corrections, and geospatial searches
Azure CDN
1) caches static compute contents and Blobs such as images, stylesheets, and script files on its physical nodes across the globe
2) faster response time by serving contents from locations closest to the end user, and second, it removes a large portion of content serving workloads from the service servers
Big Data pipeline comprises
1) data producers,
2) data collectors,
3) data ingestors,
4) data transformation,
5) long-term storage,
6) analysis, and presentation and action
Data ingestors
Data ingestors take data into the cloud at great scale. They are the starting points of the data processing pipeline in the cloud.
Event Hubs description
Event Hubs facilitats efficient data ingress at scale. An event hub can connect to more than one million data producers, with over 1 Gbps aggregated throughput. You can send data to Event Hubs through either HTTP or AMQP.
Event Hubs provides such scale by
1) create multiple partitions that work in parallel
2) can directly address a partition by its partition ID.
3) it can use hash-based distribution or random distribution
Event Hubs consuming side
1) Consumer Groups are different views of the same data stream
2) You can receive data by using either .NET API or a generic AMQP 1.0 client.
3) Supporting AMQP enables great interoperability with existing queue clients of other platforms.
Stream Analytics
1) SQL-like language for you to easily filter, project, aggregate, and join data streams by using familiar SQL syntax
2) advanced scenarios such as pattern detections with a few lines of SQL code
Azure Machine Learning
1) classification, ranking, clustering, and prediction scenarios
2) web-based drag-and-drop UI for you to build and test models, with minimum coding required
3) rich set of best-in-class machine learning algorithms out of the box. And, you can extend it by using R
Building enterprise mobile applications - ingredients
1) Azure Active Directory, Azure AD Authentication Library (ADAL), SSO
2) Azure Application Proxy and Service Bus Relay - to access on site services
3) Azure Notification Hub - push notifications
4) Azure Mobile Services - turn-key solution
Security and compliance
1) Workplace join
2) Key Vault
3) Azure Rights management
On premises integration
1) BizTalk API apps hybrid connection
2) Application proxy
3) Service bus relay
BizTalk API Apps Hybrid Connections
1) Mobile Services and Azure Websites can connect to on-premises resources that use static TCP ports, such as SQL Server and Web API.
2) Hybrid Connections requires only outbound TCP or HTTP connections.
3) It uses standard HTTP and HTTPS ports.
4) It also uses port 5671 for connecting to Azure, and port 9352 for data exchange when these ports are available.
Azure Notification Hubs
1) platform-specific Platform Notification Systems
2) Windows Notification Services (WNS).
3) For iOS devices, the service is Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)
Resource groups
Using Azure resource groups, you can manage all resources in an application as a logical unit. This logical unit provides a lifecycle boundary and a security context across all resources in the application.
Lifecycle boundary
You can describe all resources of an application in a single JSON-based template. You can provision or de-provision all resources at the same time.
Security context
You can apply Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) policies to a resource group. All resources in the group inherit the group-level policies.
The Preview Management Portal
1) focuses on application-centric views instead of resource-centric views provided by the existing portal.
2) customize your views to bring in all application-related information into the same window
