Modernize your apps with Microsoft Azure by moving web, desktop, and mobile apps to the cloud Key Features Decide which migration strategy is most suitable for your organization and create a migration roadmap Move existing infrastructure to Azure and learn strategies to reduce cost, increase storage, and improve ROI Design secure, scalable, and cost-effective solutions with the help of practical examples Book DescriptionWhether you are trying to re-architect a legacy app or build a cloud-ready app from scratch, using the Azure ecosystem with .NET and Java technologies helps you to strategize and plan your app modernization process effectively. With this book, you'll learn how to modernize your applications by using Azure for containerization, DevOps, microservices, and serverless solutions to reduce development time and costs, while also making your applications robust, secure, and scalable. You will delve into improving application efficiency by using container services such as Azure Container Service, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and more. Next, you will learn to modernize your application by implementing DevOps throughout your application development life cycle. You will then focus on increasing the scalability and performance of your overall application with microservices, before learning how to add extra functionality to your application with Azure serverless solutions. Finally, you'll get up to speed with monitoring and troubleshooting techniques. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to use the Azure ecosystem to refactor, re-architect, and rebuild your web, mobile, and desktop applications. What you will learn Use DevOps and containerization technologies to modernize your applications and infrastructure Build microservices using Azure Service Fabric Develop scalable applications using Azure Functions Manage and deploy your application code and database connectivity Secure and monitor your applications in Azure effectively Design for high availability and disaster recovery Who this book is forThis book is for.NET and Java developers who want to modernize their applications using Azure. Solution architects and experienced developers interested in modernizing legacy applications using Azure will also find this book useful. Some prior understanding of cloud computing concepts will be beneficial.

Getting started with the processes and the tools to continuously deliver high-quality software About This Book * Incorporate popular development practices to prevent messy code * Automate your build, integration, release, and deployment processes with Jenkins, Git, and Gulp-and learn how continuous integration (CI) can save you time and money * Gain an end-to-end overview of Continuous Integration using different languages (JavaScript and C#) and tools (Gulp and Jenkins) Who This Book Is For This book is for developers who want to understand and implement Continuous Integration and Delivery in their daily work. A basic knowledge of at least JavaScript and HTML/CSS is required. Knowing C# and SQL will come in handy. Most programmers who have programmed in a (compiled) C-like language will be able to follow along. What You Will Learn * Get to know all the aspects of Continuous Integration, Deployment, and Delivery * Find out how Git can be used in a CI environment * Set up browser tests using Karma and Selenium and unit tests using Jasmine * Use Node.js, npm, and Gulp to automate tasks such as linting, testing, and minification * Explore different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects * Perform Continuous Delivery and Deployment using Jenkins * Test and deliver a web API In Detail The challenge faced by many teams while implementing Continuous Deployment is that it requires the use of many tools and processes that all work together. Learning and implementing all these tools (correctly) takes a lot of time and effort, leading people to wonder whether it's really worth it. This book sets up a project to show you the different steps, processes, and tools in Continuous Deployment and the actual problems they solve. We start by introducing Continuous Integration (CI), deployment, and delivery as well as providing an overview of the tools used in CI. You'll then create a web app and see how Git can be used in a CI environment. Moving on, you'll explore unit testing using Jasmine and browser testing using Karma and Selenium for your app. You'll also find out how to automate tasks using Gulp and Jenkins. Next, you'll get acquainted with database integration for different platforms, such as MongoDB and PostgreSQL. Finally, you'll set up different Jenkins jobs to integrate with Node.js and C# projects, and Jenkins pipelines to make branching easier. By the end of the book, you'll have implemented Continuous Delivery and deployment from scratch. Style and approach This practical book takes a step-by-step approach to explaining all the concepts of Continuous Integration and delivery, and how it can help you deliver a high-quality product.
