Optimizing Microsoft Azure Workloads: Leverage the Well-Architected Framework to boost performance, scalability, and cost efficiency

Master Azure Well-Architected Framework and improve your optimization skills by enhancing the quality of your workloads

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Key Features

• Learn Well-Architected Framework from a cloud solution architect and an official Microsoft trainer
• Optimize your workloads in Azure by following Microsoft recommended best practices
• Use reference architecture and Microsoft tests to conduct Well-Architected Framework (WAF) assessment

Book Description

It's easy to learn and deploy resources in Microsoft Azure, without worrying about resource optimization. However, for production or mission critical workloads, it's crucial that you follow best practices for resource deployment to attain security, reliability, operational excellence and performance. Apart from these aspects, you need to account for cost considerations, as it's the leading reason for almost every organization's cloud transformation.

In this book, you'll learn to leverage Microsoft Well-Architected Framework to optimize your workloads in Azure. This Framework is a set of recommended practices developed by Microsoft based on five aligned pillars; cost optimization, performance, reliability, operational excellence, and security. You'll explore each of these pillars and discover how to perform an assessment to determine the quality of your existing workloads. Through the book, you'll uncover different design patterns and procedures related to each of the Well-Architected Framework pillars.

By the end of this book, you'll be well-equipped to collect and assess data from an Azure environment and perform the necessary upturn of your Azure workloads.

What you will learn

• Dive deep into the Azure Well-Architected Framework
• Explore the differences between Cloud Adoption Framework and Well-Architected Framework
• Understand the pillars of the Well-Architected Framework
• Discover varied techniques to improve the cost profile of your workload
• Optimize your workflows using Azure Advisor and its score
• Plan and prioritize the implementation of security recommendations from WAF assessments

Who this book is for

This book is for developers, cloud solution architects, cloud administrators, and professionals experienced in design, implementation, and management of Azure resources. Professionals looking to learn cloud optimization or switch to a new role related to architecture can benefit from this book. An intermediate level understanding of the Microsoft Azure platform and services is a must. Experience in implementing or designing solutions in Azure is a plus but not mandatory.

精通 Azure Well-Architected Framework，並通過提升工作負載的品質來改善優化技能。

購買印刷版或 Kindle 版本的書籍將包含免費的 PDF 電子書。

主要特點：

- 從雲解決方案架構師和官方微軟培訓師那裡學習 Well-Architected Framework。
- 通過遵循微軟推薦的最佳實踐來優化 Azure 工作負載。
- 使用參考架構和微軟測試進行 Well-Architected Framework（WAF）評估。

書籍描述：

在 Microsoft Azure 中學習和部署資源非常容易，而不必擔心資源優化。然而，對於生產或任務關鍵的工作負載，遵循資源部署的最佳實踐至關重要，以實現安全性、可靠性、運營卓越和性能。除了這些方面，您還需要考慮成本因素，因為這是幾乎每個組織進行雲轉型的主要原因。

在本書中，您將學習如何利用 Microsoft Well-Architected Framework 在 Azure 中優化工作負載。這個框架是微軟基於五個相關支柱（成本優化、性能、可靠性、運營卓越和安全性）開發的一套推薦實踐。您將探索每個支柱，並發現如何進行評估以確定現有工作負載的品質。通過本書，您將揭示與每個 Well-Architected Framework 支柱相關的不同設計模式和程序。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠從 Azure 環境中收集和評估數據，並對 Azure 工作負載進行必要的改進。

您將學到什麼：

- 深入研究 Azure Well-Architected Framework。
- 探索 Cloud Adoption Framework 和 Well-Architected Framework 之間的差異。
- 理解 Well-Architected Framework 的支柱。
- 發現改善工作負載成本配置文件的各種技術。
- 使用 Azure Advisor 及其分數優化工作流程。
- 計劃並優先實施 WAF 評估中的安全建議。

本書適合對 Azure 資源的設計、實施和管理有經驗的開發人員、雲解決方案架構師、雲管理員和專業人士。希望學習雲優化或轉換到與架構相關的新角色的專業人士可以從本書中受益。必須具備中級水平的 Microsoft Azure 平台和服務理解。在 Azure 中實施或設計解決方案的經驗是一個加分項，但不是必須的。
