Introduction
Back in early 2019, while finishing my book on deploying containers on AWS, I decided I wanted to write a similar book about the same technology in Microsoft Azure.
In a multi-cloud world where companies use multiple cloud providers to run their workload, locking yourself to one platform is not an ideal solution. Because most cloud platforms offer similar services, transitioning between platforms is not hard if you already have experience with one platform.
There is no doubt that Microsoft Azure is a great platform, and ignoring it can only harm your career path to success. This book will fill in the gaps and give you a step-by-step guide on getting started with Azure and deploying containerized applications on Azure services.
Azure has a variety of cloud services that allow us to deploy containers, and in this book I will cover each of them in great detail.
When I planned this book, I wanted to achieve two things:
Write a book that is not superficial and that touches topics on a deep technical level backed by a step-by-step approach.
Write a book that covers all elements of running applications in a production environment and doesnt just focus on running code.
In this book, you will not find pages filled with back-to-back code. Instead, you will find chapters filled with technical information and explanations that will help you understand and take actions. My detailed, easy to understand, step-by-step approach will walk you through the labs without missing important information.
I hope you will find this book useful and helpful in growing your career and knowledge base. This book is the second book in my Deploy Containers book series, and I hope you like it.
The third book in the series is planned to be released in 2021.
I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to my loving family for their amazing support and love that they have given me during the writing stages.
I would also like to say thank you to the amazing team at Apress for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to publish my books.
