Create highly scalable apps and monitor Azure functions in production using Azure Functions 2.0. This book takes you through durable functions for statefulness and covers not only the basics, but also how to create bindings in durable functions. It is a deep dive into the Azure Functions serverless API and will guide you through the process of converting monolithic applications to use Azure functions. The author starts by giving an overview of serverless architecture and Azure functions along with Azure App Services. You will then learn to create basic Azure functions using the Azure portal and Visual Studio. Next, you will create a serverless API using Azure Functions and migrate an existing application to Azure Functions. Finally, you will deploy an Azure function and monitor it in production. Here you will deploy the Azure function using ARM templates and secure and configure CORS for Azure functions. After reading this book, you will be able to understand Azure functions and create them using the Azure portal and Visual Studio. You will: Understand and use triggers and bindings in an Azure function Create a serverless API using Azure Functions and OpenAPI Deploy an Azure function and monitor it in production Understand durable Azure functions, including scalability, disaster recovery, and geo-distribution.

Use this book as your one-stop shop for architecting a world-class DevOps environment with Microsoft technologies. .NET DevOps for Azure is a synthesis of practices, tools, and process that, together, can equip a software organization to move fast and deliver the highest quality software. The book begins by discussing the most common challenges faced by developers in DevOps today and offers options and proven solutions on how to implement DevOps for your team. Daily, millions of developers use .NET to build and operate mission-critical software systems for organizations around the world. While the marketplace has scores of information about the technology, it is completely up to you to put together all the blocks in the right way for your environment. This book provides you with a model to build on. The relevant principles are covered first along with how to implement that part of the environment. And while variances in tools, language, or requirements will change the needed implementation, the DevOps model is the architecture for the working environment for your team. You can modify parts of the model to customize it to your enterprise, but the architecture will enable all of your teams and applications to accelerate in performance. What You Will Learn: Get your .NET applications into a DevOps environment in Azure Analyze and address the part of your DevOps process that causes delays or bottlenecks Track code using Azure Repos and conduct acceptance tests Apply the rules for segmenting applications into Git repositories Understand the different types of builds and when to use each Know how to think about code validation in your DevOps environment Provision and configure environments; deploy release candidates across the environments in Azure Monitor and support software that has been deployed to a production environment This book is for .NET Developers who are using or want to use DevOps in Azure but don’t know where to begin. Jeffrey Palermo is Chief Architect and CEO of Clear Measure, Inc., a DevOps-centered software engineering company. He is also the founder of the Azure DevOps Podcast and the Azure DevOps User Group.
