Azure Today? Knowing What Azure Technology To Use When
Azure Today? Keeping Current With Azure
Storage Accounts 101 Years ago it was so much simpler Now Deployment model - Resource Manager - Classic Account type - General purpose - Blob Storage Accounts 101 Performance - Standard - Premium Replication - Four options
Storage Accounts 101 Blob Only, LRD, Cold is the cheapest Use pricing calculator to see prices https://azure.microsoft.com/en- us/pricing/calculator/ Prices vary by region! Does your storage account need a view? Storage Accounts 101 P1 128 GB Solid Stage Drive - East US - $19.71 (current price) - East US 2 - $17.92 (current price)
Serverless No server setup required No capacity planning needed Pay only for what you use High availability No need to deal with your in-house Infrastructure team Deploying Logic Apps and Functions will require you to find something else to fight with your Infrastructure team about. - Stephen W. Thomas
Serverless is the Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread?
History Lesson Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa, United States, invented the first loaf-at-a-time bread-slicing machine in 1912 First commercial sliced bread was available in July 7, 1928 Sliced bread was shortly banned in the US in 1943 to support the war As commercially sliced bread resulted in uniform and somewhat thinner slices, people ate more slices of bread at a time, and ate bread more frequently, because of the ease of eating another piece of bread. This increased consumption of bread and, in turn, increased consumption of spreads, such as jam, to put on the bread
Function Fundamentals Supports JavaScript, C#, F#, as well as scripting options such as Python, PHP, Bash, Batch, and PowerShell Serverless Feature rich web based editor Azure Functions are the most Complex - Simple features of Azure Could easily have a full day session on Functions
Function Best Practices Avoid long running functions Ensure they are stateless Use queues for function to function calls
Dive into Logic Apps Logic Apps in Azure Portal
Logic App Basics Two designer options Web-based Visual Studio Workflow definition in JSON { "$schema": "<schema-of the-definition>", "contentVersion": "<version-number-of-definition>", "parameters": { <parameter-definitions-of-definition> }, "triggers": [ { <definition-of-flow-triggers> } ], "actions": [ { <definition-of-flow-actions> } ], "outputs": { <output-of-definition> } }
Logic App Basics Connectors First class Azure artifacts (Flow and PowerBI) Over 200+ Friendly wrappers around API Triggers Polling Recurrence Event-based Web-hook Actions Building blocks for a Logic App Flow Control If-Else Switch For-each Do-until Scope Parallel
Integration Accounts Adds BizTalk-like features to Logic Apps Maps, Schema, Partners, Agreements, and Certificates Support for EDI, Flat File and XML Plus Enterprise Connections to MQ and SAP Cost for Integration Account is separate from Logic Apps
Dive into Logic Apps Integration Accounts
Hybrid Scenarios On-premises Data Gateway
Logic App Deployment Advice Using Visual Studios creates an Azure Resource Managed (ARM) Template Can more than one Logic App per ARM Supports binding / configuration files per environment Use PowerShell for deployment
Logical Logic App Tips Rename the shape right away if desired Do not be afraid of JSON Yes you will end up breaking a Logic App from time to time Save and check-in often Did you know that For-Each loops run in parallel by default? You can change this by editing the JSON file Content-type of the inbound trigger are very important In the cloud must play by the rules of the platform 429 rate limits vary per connector
