Introduction
The 70-532 exam focuses the skills necessary to develop software on the Microsoft Azure Cloud. It covers Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offerings like Azure VMs and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings like Azure Storage, Azure CosmosDB, Azure Active Directory, Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Hub, Azure App Services, Azure Service Fabric, Azure Functions and other relevant marketplace applications. This book will help get started with these and other features of Azure so that you can begin developing and deploying Azure applications.
This book is geared toward cloud application developers who focus on Azure as the target host environment. It covers choosing from Azure compute options for IaaS and Paas, incorporating storage and data platforms. It will help you choose when to use features such as Web Apps, API Apps, API Management, Logic Apps and Mobile Apps. It will explain your data storage options between Azure CosmosDB, Azure Redis Cache, Azure Search, and Azure SQL Database. It also covers how to secure applications with Azure Active Directory using B2C and B2B features for single sign-on based on OpenID Connect, OAuth2 and SAML-P protocols, and how to use Azure Vault to protect secrets.
This book covers every major topic area found on the exam, but it does not cover every exam question. Only the Microsoft exam team has access to the exam questions, and Microsoft regularly adds new questions to the exam, making it impossible to cover specific questions. You should consider this book a supplement to your relevant real-world experience and other study materials. If you encounter a topic in this book that you do not feel completely comfortable with, use the Need more review? links youll find in the text to find more information and take the time to research and study the topic. Great information is available on MSDN, TechNet, and in blogs and forums.
Organization of this book
This book is organized by the Skills measured list published for the exam. The Skills measured list is available for each exam on the Microsoft Learning website: https://aka.ms/examlist. Each chapter in this book corresponds to a major topic area in the list, and the technical tasks in each topic area determine a chapters organization. If an exam covers six major topic areas, for example, the book will contain six chapters.
