Fourth up in this blog series! Solving for Horizontal Scale with IIS and Containers. Make sure to check out the other topics in the blog on SSL certificate lifecycle management, IIS app pools and websites and Hardcoded configurations Since each node on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a virtual machine on a Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS), AKS can easily add new nodes in case additional resources are needed to meet the demand. Your website might have increased or decreased demand depending on the use case so AKS can be a valuable toolPlanning the Monitoring of my hybrid environment.
Hello folks, By now you may have read that I’ve rebuilt my demo environment to look like what a typical hybrid environment would look like. I did it slowly without having to rip and replace everything in my on-prem environment. Started out with establishing a site-to-site VPN, then a solution to remote into all the servers in my environment, configured a resilient way of resolving the names of all servers in my hybrid deployment, and lastly, configuring an Azure Arc Private Link Scope so that all my on-prem machines could connect to Azure using the VPN and not the open internet. Now as I look at all the operational tasks I need to implement (monitoring/insights, patch management, change management, etc...) To support all these operational requirements, I need the common underpinning provided by the Azure Log Analytics workspace.Monitoring my hybrid environment – part 2?
Hello folks, 2 weeks ago, as part of my series on setting up my demo environment to reflect a typical hybrid (on-prem <-> Azure) environment I covered the basics of what I needed to support operational requirements like monitoring/insights, patch management, change management, etc... So, I designed a Log Analytics Workspace (LAW) and deployed the Azure Monitor Agent and Dependency Agent. But some of you eagle eyed readers messaged me and pointed out that unlike when I Azure Arc enabled my servers, I did not configure Azure Monitor to only use the site-to-site VPN. You were correct. However, it’s something we can remedy. And we’ll do it right now.Securely Manage my On-prem Server Using Cloud services.
Hello Folks, I want to configure the underlying service that will allow me to securely manage all my servers using some cloud services. Namely Azure Arc. I’ve said before that Azure Arc is a great way of enabling a multitude of cloud services. And since I already have the site-to-site VPN up and running, I want to ensure that all traffic from my on-prem server ONLY connects to my azure services using that secured connection. I decided to leverage Azure Private links, It’s a service that enables you to access Azure PaaS Services (for example, Azure Storage and SQL Database) and Azure hosted services over a private endpoint in your own virtual network. And eliminating the need to route traffic over the internetLearn about the Microsoft Data Platform, Hybrid, and Multi-Cloud apps
The goal of this session is to provide you with an overview of the new tools and features announced during MS Build around the area of data and machine learning and to show you some of them in action and how they could make a real difference in your day-to-day work. In particular you’ll be guided through an end-to-end demo on how to train a regression model with Python sdkv2, how to debug your model and identify bias by building a Responsible AI dashboard on it and how you can deploy your model using managed endpoint and how to perform some AB testing.AzureFunBytes Short - Hybrid Cloud and Azure Arc with @ThomasMaurer
Thomas Mauer is well known in circles that focus on IT Operations, Hybrid, and Windows. I was quite lucky to get him to come on AzureFunBytes to discuss what Hybrid Cloud is and how to integrate it. In this short you'll get a brief introduction along with a demonstration right from the Azure portal.
