Technical architects interested in learning more about designing Cloud solutions will also find this book useful. What You Will Learn Use Azure Virtual Machines to design effective VM deployments Implement architecture styles, like serverless computing and microservices Secure your data using different security features and design effective security strategies Design Azure storage solutions using various storage features Create identity management solutions for your applications and resources Architect state-of-the-art solutions using Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and Azure Media Services Use different automation solutions that are incorporated in the Azure platform In Detail Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions: Exam Guide 70-535 will get Azure architects and developers up-to-date with the latest updates on Azure from an architecture and design perspective. The book includes all the topics that are still relevant from the previous 70-534 exam, and is updated with latest topics covered, including Artificial Intelligence, IoT, and architecture styles. This exam guide is divided into six parts, where the first part will give you a good understanding of how to design a compute infrastructure. It also dives into designing networking and data implementations. You will learn about designing solutions for Platform Service and operations. Next, you will be able to secure your resources and data, as well as design a mechanism for governance and policies. You will also understand the objective of designing solutions for Platform Services, by covering Artificial Intelligence, IoT, media services, and messaging solution concepts. Finally, you will cover the designing for operations objective. This objective covers application and platform monitoring, as well as designing alerting strategies and operations automation strategies. By the end of the book, you'll have met all of the exam objectives, and will have all the inf...
