What is Azure App Service?

Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering in Azure that is designed to host enterprise-grade web-oriented applications. You can meet rigorous performance, scalability, security, and compliance requirements while using a fully managed platform to perform infrastructure maintenance.

What is the difference between Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps?

Azure Functions executes code and Azure Logic Apps executes workflows built up from predefined logic blocks. With Azure Functions, you write code to complete each step, with Logic Apps, you use a GUI to define the actions and how they relate to one another

What is general trigger for Azure Functions and Azure Logic Apps?

Both enable you to trigger logic based on an event

How you can control VM?

By using a remote desktop client

What are the main types of the Azure Functions?

Can be either stateless (the default) where they behave as if they're restarted every time they respond to an event), or stateful (called "Durable Functions") where a context is passed through the function to track prior activity.

Azure Functions

Can execute code in almost any modern language

Serverless Computing

Cloud-hosted execution environment that runs your code but completely abstracts the underlying hosting environment.

What are containers?

Containers are a virtualization environment for running applications. Just like virtual machines, containers are run on top of a host operating system. But unlike VMs, containers don't include an operating system for the apps running inside the container. Instead, containers bundle the libraries and components needed to run the application and use the existing host OS running the container. For example, if five containers are running on a server with a specific Linux kernel, all five containers and the apps within them share that same Linux kernel.

Kubernetes master node

Controls other nodes within Kubernetes Instance

Azure Logic Apps

Designed in a web-based designer and can execute logic, triggered by Azure services, without writing any code

Azure App Service

Designed to host enterprise-grade web-oriented applications

What is Azure standard container model?

Docker container

Azure Batch

Enables large-scale job scheduling and compute management with the ability to scale to tens, hundreds, or thousands of VMs

Web App for Containers

Feature of Azure App Service, a true PaaS experience in container hosting

Update domains

Groups of VMs and underlying physical hardware that can be rebooted at the same time

Unplanned maintenance event

Hardware failure in the data center, such as a power outage or disk failure

Micro-billing in Servless Computing

If the code runs once a day for two minutes, you are charged for one execution and two minutes of computing time

What does VM image include?

Includes an OS and often other software, like development tools or web hosting environments.

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

Let you create and manage a group of identical, load balanced VMs

Availability sets

Logical grouping of two or more VMs that help keep your application available during planned or unplanned maintenance.

Update Domains implementation

Logical part of each data center and are implemented with software and logic.

Can container in one pod share the resources with a container in another pod?

No

Does Container use a virtualization?

No, a container doesn't use virtualization, so it doesn't waste resources simulating virtual hardware with a redundant OS.

Do you need manual to scale your application in Azure App Service?

No, it offers automatic scaling and high availability

Is Web App for Containers is free, like Azure Container Instance (ACI)?

No, unlike ACI, you pay for Azure App Service whether you're using the application or not, because your application is running on a dedicated VM in App Service

Does Servless Computing require maintenance?

No. You create an instance of the service, and you add your code; no infrastructure configuration or maintenance is required, or even allowed.

How VM Scale Sets can help?

Scale sets allow you to centrally manage, configure, and update a large number of VMs in minutes to provide highly available applications. The number of VM instances can automatically increase or decrease in response to demand or a defined schedule. With Virtual Machine Scale Sets, you can build large-scale services for areas such as compute, big data, and container workloads.

What is Serverless Computing?

Serverless computing is a cloud-hosted execution environment that runs your code but completely abstracts the underlying hosting environment. You create an instance of the service, and you add your code; no infrastructure configuration or maintenance is required, or even allowed.

Event-driven scale in Servless Computing

Serverless computing is an excellent fit for workloads that respond to incoming events. Events include triggers by timers (for example, if a function needs to run every day at 10:00 AM UTC), HTTP (API and webhook scenarios), queues (for example, with order processing), and much more. Instead of writing an entire application, the developer authors a function, which contains both code and metadata about its triggers and bindings. The platform automatically schedules the function to run and scales the number of compute instances based on the rate of incoming events. Triggers define how a function is invoked and bindings provide a declarative way to connect to services from within the code.

What else can run on the node in addition to pods?

Several services that are required for Kubernetes to manage the pods, and so on

Virtual machines

Software emulations of physical computers.

Single VM typical tasks

Testing, development, or minor tasks

What does Servless computing include?

The abstraction of servers, an event-driven scale, and micro-billing

What is Servless computing in Azure?

The abstraction of servers, infrastructure, and OSs

Node or Worker

The computer that Kubernetes pods are running on

Kubernetes cluster

The entire environment of the master and all of its nodes

Azure Container Instances (ACI)

The fastest and simplest way to run a container in Azure. You don't have to manage any virtual machines or configure any additional services. It is a PaaS offering that allows you to upload your containers and execute them directly with automatic elastic scale.

Fault domain

The group of virtual machines that share common hardware

What is the benefit of AKS vs ACI?

if you have an application that is used heavily by many people and that might need to take advantage of scaling, Azure's Kubernetes Service (AKS) would be a better choice

VM image

A template used to create a VM

VM consists of

A virtual processor, memory, storage, and networking resources.

What is the main benefit of the Azure Kubernetes Service?

AKS offloads the burden of dealing with the Kubernetes master to Microsoft. When you create a Kubernetes cluster in AKS, Azure creates the master and the nodes for you. All you have to do is deploy your containers, and you're up and running with a managed Kubernetes cluster.

What does Kubernetes master contain?

All of the configuration and services necessary to manage the orchestration of pods and other Kubernetes entities

What do you get additional to the Web Apps hosting features for Web API in Azure App Service?

You get full Swagger support, and the ability to package and publish your API in the Azure Marketplace. The produced apps can be consumed from any HTTP(S)-based client

What are you defining during a creation of new Web App for Containers?

You specify: 1. the OS you want (either Windows or Linux) 2. the location of the Docker image. The image can be in Docker Hub, a private registry, or in Azure Container Services.

How do you pay for Azure App Service?

You pay for the Azure compute resources your app uses while it processes requests based on the App Service Plan you choose. The App Service plan determines how much hardware is devoted to your host - for example, whether it's dedicated or shared hardware, and how much memory is reserved for it. There is even a free tier you can use to host small, low-traffic sites.

What are the main scaling VMs features in Azure?

1. Availability sets 2. Virtual Machine Scale Sets 3. Azure Batch

Several ways to manage containers

1. Azure Container Instances (ACI) 2. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

1. Virtual machines 2. Containers 3. Azure App Service 4. Serverless computing

What are typical applications that you can host at Azure App Service?

1. Web Apps 2. API Apps 3. WebJobs 4. Mobile Apps

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

A complete orchestration service for containers with distributed architectures with multiple containers

What is Fault domain?

A fault domain is essentially a rack of servers. It provides the physical separation of your workload across different power, cooling, and network hardware that support the physical servers in the data center server racks. In the event the hardware that supports a server rack becomes unavailable, only that rack of servers is affected by the outage.

Kubernetes pod

A group of related containers that are able to share resources

Container

A modified runtime environment built on top of a host OS that executes your application

Abstraction of servers in Servless Computing

You don't need to reserve any server capacities. With serverless architecture, you simply deploy your code, which then runs with high availability.

Orchestration

The task of automating, managing, and interacting with a large number of containers

Availability set costs

There is no cost. You only pay for the VMs within the availability set

Containers in Microservice architecture solutions

This architecture is where you break solutions into smaller, independent pieces. For example, you may split a website into a container hosting your front end, another hosting your back end, and a third for storage. This split allows you to separate portions of your app into logical sections that can be maintained, scaled, or updated independently.

What does Azure App Service enable you to do?

To build and host web apps, background jobs, mobile backends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure

Does Kubernetes Instance include one or several nodes?

Typically it includes several nodes

What features for Mobile app back-ends does Azure App Service provide?

Store mobile app data in a cloud-based SQL database 2. Authenticate customers against common social providers such as MSA, Google, Twitter, and Facebook 3. Send push notifications 4. Execute custom back-end logic in C# or Node.js On the mobile app side, there is SDK support for native iOS & Android, Xamarin, and React native apps.

How can you create workflows for Azure Logic Apps?

Using a visual designer on the Azure portal or in Visual Studio. The workflows are persisted as a JSON file with a known workflow schema

What are four common techniques for performing compute in Azure?

Virtual machines Containers Azure App Service Serverless computing

What are virtual machines?

Virtual machines, or VMs, are software emulations of physical computers. They include a virtual processor, memory, storage, and networking resources. They host an operating system (OS), and you're able to install and run software just like a physical computer. And by using a remote desktop client, you can use and control the virtual machine as if you were sitting in front of it.

Planned maintenance event

When the underlying Azure fabric that hosts VMs is updated by Microsoft

What does Azure Batch do?

When you're ready to run a job, Batch does the following: 1. Starts a pool of compute VMs for you 2. Installs applications and staging data 3. Runs jobs with as many tasks as you have 4. Identifies failures 5. Re-queues work 6. Scales down the pool as work completes

Is it difficult to configure Kubernetes master node?

Yes, it is by far the most laborious task of using Kubernetes

Do VMs host OS?

Yes, they host an operating system (OS), and you're able to install and run software just like a physical computer.

Can ACI run multiple containers?

Yes, you can define a container group and run multiple containers within an ACI instance

Can you mix and match services from your Azure Function and Azure Logic Apps orchestrations?

Yes, you can mix and match services when you build an orchestration, calling functions from logic apps and calling logic apps from functions

Is AKS service free?

Yes, you only pay for the Azure computer resources that you use within your cluster.

What OS and languages for Web Apps does Azure App Service support?

You can choose to run in Windows or Linux. It supports ASP.Net, ASP.Net Core, Java, Ruby, Node.js, PHP and Python

When are the benefits of the grouping VMs?

You can group VMs together to provide high availability, scalability, and redundancy

What can you run as a Web Jobs hosted at Azure App Service?

You can run a program (.exe, Java, PHP, Python, or Node.js) or script (.cmd, .bat, PowerShell, or Bash) in the same context as a web app, API app, or mobile app. They can be scheduled, or run by a trigger. WebJobs are often used to run background tasks as part of your application logic.
