Study Notes
High Availability and Configuration
- High availability is achieved by using configurations that assign a unique public IP address to each instance.
- In an active/standby configuration, connections may be disrupted during a failover as the standby instance takes over the public IP address.
- Default configuration for VPN gateways in Azure is route-based.
Azure Features and Tools
- WebJobs in Azure can utilize languages such as C#, Python, Node.js, Java, and PHP.
- Mobile Apps feature in Azure enables development of mobile applications with back-end capabilities.
- Azure virtual networks and subnets facilitate isolated networking environments for resources.
- Incoming internet connections to Azure resources can be enabled using Azure Public IP addresses and Network Security Groups (NSGs).
- Azure Automation is the tool for managing, configuring, and updating multiple VMs quickly.
Availability Sets and Virtual Machines
- Fault domains in availability sets prevent simultaneous failures by spreading resources across multiple physical hosts.
- Use virtual machines in Azure for hosting applications that require a full OS or specific configurations.
- Azure Virtual Desktop provides virtualized desktop and application experience in the cloud.
Virtual Machines and Containers
- Key difference between virtual machines and containers: VMs run full operating systems while containers share the OS kernel.
- Azure Container Instances allow for running containers without managing VMs, simplifying deployment.
- Microservice architecture benefits from containers by allowing modular development, easier updates, and scalability.
Azure Hosting Options
- Azure App Service for building web apps, backend jobs, and RESTful APIs without infrastructure management.
- Azure Virtual Machines for maximum control of hosting environments.
- Azure Functions as a serverless compute option, allowing event-driven coding without managing infrastructure.
VM Features and Networking
- Azure Scale Sets enable creating and managing pools of identical, load-balanced VMs.
- An image in the context of Azure VMs is a template that contains the OS and application configurations.
- Not all methods can filter traffic between subnets; e.g., using NSGs is a valid method.
- True statements about virtual network peering include its ability to connect Azure virtual networks easily.
VPN Gateways and Connectivity
- Policy-based and route-based VPN gateways differ mainly in the way they handle traffic routing.
- Resiliency of a VPN gateway can be maximized by deploying it in an availability zone, providing redundancy.
- Cloud services facilitate various integration and communication methods essential for modern applications.
ExpressRoute and Azure DNS
- Azure ExpressRoute offers dedicated connections and improved security compared to typical internet connections.
- ExpressRoute Global Reach provides a private networking feature that allows data exchange between on-premises sites.
- Azure DNS supports seamless DNS updates through the use of alias records and can manage DNS via the Azure portal or CLI.
General Azure Benefits
- True statements clarify that Azure solutions offer fast performance, integration for services (like Office 365), and resilient configurations.
- Azure provides robust DNS capabilities with anycast networking, private domains, and alias record sets for dynamic resource management.
