Implementing Azure Solutions

Summary

In the last chapter, we learned that the classic model had changed a lot. In the classic world, you had complete control over the hardware and software that is deployed. This has led to hardware decisions that focus on massive scaling. An example is purchasing a server with more cores to satisfy peak performance needs. Unfortunately, this infrastructure might be underutilized outside the demand window. With Azure, you can deploy only the infrastructure that you need, and adjust this up or down at any time. This leads to a focus on scaling out through the deployment of additional compute nodes to satisfy a performance need. Although this has consequences for designing an appropriate software architecture. These days it's sure that ...
