Azure 101: Subscriptions And Management Groups

2023-03-20T01:55:37+00:00

In Microsoft Azure, a subscription is an agreement between a customer and Microsoft on how to pay for and access Azure services. It is paid based on the consumption of services within the subscription. For example, if you provisioned Azure Virtual Machines, App Service, Azure SQL Database, and other services, your subscription will be billed based on using these services. There are many types of subscriptions. Each type of subscription may have various characteristics and limitations, such as the maximum number of a specific virtual machine size that can be provisioned or the number of tags in a resource group. However, you [...]

Azure 101: Regions And Availability Zones

2023-03-20T01:52:44+00:00

Natural disasters are no laughing matter that we can take for granted; they can seriously mess up a business and its operations, especially when using traditional on-premises IT infrastructure. Luckily, with Azure regions and availability zones, companies can have a backup plan to ensure data redundancy, disaster recovery, scalability, and remote access. With Microsoft Azure, companies can continue to operate even in the face of natural disasters. This means that businesses can stay operational regardless of what Mother Nature throws their way. Azure Regions are geographically discrete data centers located in different locations around the world. It provides locations across [...]

Creating And Mounting An Azure File Share

2023-03-20T03:28:28+00:00

A file server provides organizations with a system to centrally store, manage, and access files within a network, such as documents, images, videos, logs, etc. With file servers, users can easily share and collaborate on files with others. Azure Files is a fully managed file share solution that aims to replace or supplement on-premises file servers. It is a platform as a service (PaaS) offering by Microsoft Azure that is accessible by SMB and NFS protocol and Azure Files Rest API. You can mount Azure files using Windows, Linux, and macOS workstations. Azure files have many benefits, including the following: [...]

Deploying Docker Images To Azure Container Apps

2023-03-20T03:33:38+00:00

Containers, cloud-native, and microservices are all used in modern software development and deployment. A container is a standalone executable package that contains everything needed to run a piece of software, creating an isolated environment for the application. While microservices are an architectural paradigm for developing applications composed of small, independent services. This enables teams to autonomously build, deploy, and grow their services, increasing the speed and agility of the development process. In Microsoft Azure, there is a fully managed service called Azure Container Apps, where you can deploy, manage, and scale multi-container applications and microservices. You can run your containers [...]

Azure Storage Redundancy Options

2023-03-27T13:21:20+00:00

What are the Azure Storage Redundancy Options? Azure storage redundancy options provide different levels of protection for data stored in Azure. These options ensure that data is available and retrievable in case of failure or data loss. There are several different types of consistency options available in Azure, each with its own features and benefits. Locally Redundant Storage (LRS) has the lowest level of consistency in Azure storage redundancies. The LRS option stores three copies of the data within a single data center. So even if there is one failure within the data center, your data will still be available. [...]

Cloud Computing Service Types: IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS

2023-03-27T13:26:25+00:00

What is IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS? IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS are three types of cloud computing services provided by Microsoft Azure. Each model has its advantages that help customers meet their specific needs. Each type of cloud computing service, and deployment method, provides you with different levels of control, flexibility, and management. With traditional on-premises data centers, customers have complete control over the hardware, server, virtualization, and software deployed. Historically, this has led to hardware procurement decisions focusing on scaling up. An example is purchasing a server with more cores to meet peak performance needs. Unfortunately, this infrastructure might be [...]

Azure Batch Cheat Sheet A service that runs large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs in Azure. Allows you to run jobs in a group of Linux or Windows virtual machines. Components A task represents a unit of computation and a job is a collection of tasks. Job priority values range from the lowest priority to the highest priority. To specify certain limits for your jobs, you can use job constraints: Maximum wallclock time - tasks are terminated if the job runs longer than the specified time. Maximum number of task retries - if the task fails, it will [...]
