Gain a foundational understanding of SRE and learn its basic concepts and architectural best
practices for deploying Azure IaaS PaaS and microservices-based resilient architectures. The
book starts with the base concepts of SRE operations and developer needs followed by
definitions and acronyms of Service Level Agreements in real-world scenarios. Moving forward
you will learn how to build resilient IaaS solutions PaaS solutions and microservices
architecture in Azure. Here you will go through Azure reference architecture for high-available
storage networking and virtual machine computing describing Availability Sets and Zones and
Scale Sets as main scenarios. You will explore similar reference architectures for Platform
Services such as App Services with Web Apps and work with data solutions like Azure SQL and
Azure Cosmos DB. Next you will learn automation to enable SRE with Azure DevOps Pipelines and
GitHub Actions. You'll also gain an understanding of how an open culture around post-mortems
dramatically helps in optimizing SRE and the overall company culture around managing and
running IT systems and application workloads. You'll be exposed to incent management and
monitoring practices by making use of Azure Monitor Log Analytics Grafana which forms the
foundation of monitoring Azure and Hybrid-running workloads. As an extra the book covers two
new testing solutions: Azure Chaos Studio and Azure Load Testing. These solutions will make it
easier to test the resilience of your services. After reading this book you will understand
the underlying concepts of SRE and its implementation using Azure public cloud. What Will You
