The momentum of cloud technologies is approaching its peak and it is hard to overstate the value of moving your applications from on-premises to cloud environments. As Microsoft Azure is one of the top three players on the market, becoming familiar with this particular technology will definitely be a plus for any IT specialist who is seeking a better understanding of how modern applications are designed and managed. For IT administrators, moving from their previous habits and environments is especially difficult as the cloud offers a completely different level of complexity and a separate administering model. Having a quick guide like this book will assist in building new skills rapidly and allow you to compare current solutions with the new approach.

This book is intended for IT pros and IT administrators who want to get started with Microsoft Azure as their cloud solution of choice. The reader is expected to have some basic administration knowledge and an understanding of basic concepts (including authentication, different levels of applications' metrics, and virtual machines). Experience in working with command-line-based tools and PowerShell will also be a plus.
