Cloud Basics: Tenancy, Directories and Subscription

When I first started learning about cloud the concept of tenancy, and directories was very confusing as I could have multiple tenants and each tenant could have multiple directories and subscriptions etc. As this was the basics of every resource access, creation, assignment , the concept is very important to understand. 

I will try to make it as simple as I can. For more information about these interlinked concepts, I will re-direct you to the pertinent topic and it will make it easy to understand. 

👉 I would highly recommend to complete your study of Cloud Basics and Fundamental Series to understand the important key terms and concepts of cloud.

Tenant

Every organization when registers/buy the Azure portal subscription from Microsoft, for them a record is created in the Microsoft Active Directory along with their information. This record of Active directory is called Tenant.

Cloud Basics - Scalability and Elasticity

Image
High Scalability / Elasticity Your ability to increase your capacity based on the increasing demand of traffic, memory and computing power. Cloud offer high scalability which is otherwise not an easy task to achieve using manual approach. The enterprises need to achieve scalability as their number of end user increase, so do their data hits and network traffic. In order to meet the increased requirement for the system, it needs to be scaled. There are two ways of scaling: Vertical Scaling/ Scaling Up  It means upgrade to a bigger server or powerful machines. If on-premises, this has to be done manually. you need to buy expensive machines/hardware and software to upgrade the server to host the software components. Cloud manages this automatically and you just have to pay accordingly, you don't have to buy any physical infrastructure, just scale up manually based on your specified conditions (e.g; more than 85% of CPU consumption or 70% of memory consumption etc). Cloud portal has sc...

Cloud Basics - Availability and Redundancy

 High Availability  Your ability for your service to remain available by ensuring there is  *no single point Of failure and/or ensure a certain level of performance. High availability is achieved by replicating the images in multiple zones or data centres. So in case of any geo-disaster the alternative systems serve the users, hence it is called highly available. There are three types of redundancies: Local Redundancy Zone Redundancy Global/Geo Redundancy Local redundancy The default behaviour is locally replicating the data/resource images in multiple copies in the same datacentre. The resources by default have three copies. so if one copy fail to serve the other two are still available. This mode has less availability comparing to the other two but still it provides some piece of mind. Zones Redundancy  In this mode three copies of the resources are kept in three different zones or data centres in the same location/city. For example, UK West is a location which may...

Same code Links for the Az-204 Developing for Microsoft Azure Exam Topics

I will keep adding more links in the list below and categorise them according to 4 major categories of AZ-204 Exam so keep checking for the updates "Develop for the Azure Cloud" Sample Projects 50% of this exam falls in the "Develop for the Cloud" objective, and requires exposure to code. A collection of sample code you can play around with using Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio Code: Azure Batch Hello World - https://github.com/Azure-Samples/azure-batch-samples/blob/master/CSharp/GettingStarted/01_HelloWorld Azure Batch AI Code Samples - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/samples/?service=batch-ai&sort=0 Service Bus Queue - https://github.com/Azure/azure-service-bus-dotnet Service Bus Code Samples - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/resources/samples/?service=service-bus&sort=0 Event Hubs - https://github.com/azure/azure-event-hubs-dotnet Azure Relay Hybrid Connections - https://github.com/azure/azure-relay-dotnet Event Grid Publish/Consume Eve...
