What are Azure Architectural Components?

Microsoft has designed Azure datacenters very smartly. Query is raised 'why am i telling this?'. To give the answer, I have collected few facts 
  • In Today's Global word, Data is like fuel. it is very costly. Country's future is also depend on Data Security and Privacy. 
  • Different type of Data security and privacy standards are followed by different countries.
  • Government Policies. 
That's why Microsoft has divided global word into 5 geographies and also designed few datacenters as per the government policies like in US, in China, in Germany etc. 

Architectural Components- 
  • Azure Geography- An Azure geography means an area of the world containing at least one Azure region. Geographies define a discrete market, typically containing two or more regions, that preserve data residency and compliance boundaries. There are 5 geographies which are following- Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa. 
  • Azure Region- An Azure region consists of a set of data centers deployed within a latency-defined perimeter and connected through a dedicated low-latency network. This ensures that Azure services within an Azure region offer the best possible performance and security.
 To understand this , Please see the below given Image ‘Geography'
   

Geography
Regional Pair- A regional pair consists of two regions within the same geography. Azure serializes platform updates (planned maintenance) across regional pairs, ensuring that only one region in each pair updates at a time. If an outage affects multiple regions, at least one region in each pair will be prioritized for recovery. 


                Region and Regional pair

Remember points-
  • Each Region is paired with another region
  • Azure prefers at least 300 miles of separation between datacenters in a regional pair.
  • In an outage, recovery of one region is prioritized out of every pair
  • Azure system updates are rolled out to paired regions sequentially (not at the same time).

Cloud Terminology

Cloud Terminology  Hi Guys, Before moving forward to learn Azure Cloud. We have to keep in mind below given Cloud Termenology which will help you to understand simple meaning of  these terms in Cloud.  This list will be updated as we will find any term that should be shared with you guys. Compute SAAS- Software as a Service PAAS- Plateform as a Service IAAS- Infrastructure as a Service Availability HA- High Availability Scalability Elasticity Agility- Services On Demand without Human Interaction. Fault Tolerance Disaster Recovery CapEx OpEx Availability Set Region - Each region is paired with another region. Microsoft provided recently to change the region or certain services. Geography - There are 5 Geography like Americas, Europe ,Asia Paciffic, Middle East and africa. It helps to handle data policies. Regional pair Availability Zone - Each Region has a zone but  Not All region have multiple zone. Fault Domain Update Domain Virtual Machine  Resource - Like VM,...

Very common interview Question about Azure

  What is the difference between PHS (Password Hash Synchronization) and PTA(Password Though Authentication)? PHS- In this Approach, Password is synchronized with AAD. Authentication occurs in cloud. PTA- In this Approach, Password is not synchronized with AAD. Authentication occurs on On-Premises AD. What is the difference between User Administrator and Global Administrator User Administrator can delete any non admin user. Admin user can be deleted only by Global Administrator.

What is Availability Options in Azure Cloud?

 Hi  Guys ,  Basic Thought cames in our mind when we are creating an vitrual machine. So today we will discuss  'What is Availibility Options?'. Before moving forward, please see red colour circule in Image. Availability Option Dropdown is there in image. in this dropdown, there are two options are available to choosen. Create a virtual machine Availability  Set Availability Zone Availability Set -  It protects failure within datacenter. It has two domain which are given below- Fault Domain (FD)-  It is Physical separation of VMs  It goes up to 5 fault domains in a availability set Update Domain (UD)- It goes to 20 update domains in a availability set.  It is a logical separation.  At any point of time, only one UD can be updated. Suppose-UD0 is updated right now. It means only VMs which are belongs to UD0 will be down for update. See the image for more clarity- Availability Set ...
