Study Notes

Azure 900 Study Course

  • The Azure 900 study course is designed to help users prepare for the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam (AZ-900).
  • The course covers fundamental concepts of cloud computing, Azure services, and how to manage and deploy applications on Azure.

Azure 900 Exam & Benefits

  • The AZ-900 exam leads to the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals certification.
  • The certification demonstrates a basic understanding of cloud concepts and Azure services.

Cloud Service Principles

  • A key principle of a cloud service is the concept of shared responsibility.
  • High availability in a cloud service refers to the ability of the service to remain operational even if some components fail.

Cloud Service Types

  • Public clouds are typically multi-tenant & externally hosted.
  • Private clouds are dedicated to a single organization.

Cloud Service Locations

  • The main benefit of a cloud service with multiple locations is disaster recovery, ensuring service continuity in case of failures.
  • Brazil replicates to the US South region.
  • Each Azure region has three availability zones.
  • Availability zones physically separate infrastructure for improved resilience.

Cloud Service Resources

  • Azure offers resources with both zone-redundant and zonal options.
  • The zone-redundant option replicates data across multiple availability zones, while the zonal option keeps data within a single zone.

Cloud Service Expenditure

  • Capital expenditure (CapEx) refers to investments in hardware and infrastructure.
  • Operational expenditure (OpEx) covers the ongoing costs of using the cloud service.

Cloud Service Responsibilities

  • The shared responsibility model between customer and provider focuses on security.

Cloud Service Workloads

  • Public clouds are well-suited for general-purpose workloads.
  • Azure's China cloud is unique as it is managed by a Chinese company.

Azure Regions

  • Azure regions are geographically dispersed locations that house resources and offer cloud services.
  • Regions are designed to provide disaster recovery and high availability.

Cloud Service Levels

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides the most flexibility with full OS access.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers higher abstraction, focusing on application and data management.
  • Software as a Service (SaaS) is responsible for business functions, requiring the least customer involvement.

Cloud Service Benefits

  • PaaS benefits over IaaS include simplified management and reduced operational burden.

Cloud Service Redundancy

  • Storage accounts do not offer a zone-redundant option.
  • For a service to survive data center failure, the recommended solution is to use availability zones.
  • When choosing a service with availability zones, understand whether the service is zone-redundant or zonal.
