3. Agenda Tenets of Solution design Cloud Solution architecture – Layers Commonly used Azure Services

4. Tenets of Solution Design Solve the business problem Solution needs to be Extensible Scalable Reliable Observable Secure Highly Performant Highly available Cost effective

5. #1 Common answer from an architect It depends 

6. Common pitfalls in Solution design

7. #2 There is no right or wrong decision it’s all about trade offs 

8. What’s expected in an Architect? Source: Solution architect's fundamentals - Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework | Microsoft Learn

9. #3 There are always two ways Right way of doing things Doing things in a right way

10. Simplified Cloud solution architecture Hosting Infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS/Containers) Databases Application workloads Infrastructure management Observability Security Governance Identity and Access management

11. Hosting Infrastructure Azure Azure Virtual Machines Azure VM Scale sets Azure Batch Azure Container Apps Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) Azure Functions IaaS PaaS Serverless More Control More Flexibility

12. Application Workloads Azure Azure App Service Azure Functions Static Web Apps API Management - API Gateway/Azure API Management / Apigee Container runtimes – Azure Container Apps/Elastic Container service/Cloud Run Container Orchestration - Azure Kubernetes Service/Elastic Kubernetes Service/Google Kubernetes Engine

13. Messaging/ Eventing services Azure Azure Event Grid Azure Service Bus Azure Event Hubs Managed Kafka/Active MQ/Rabbit MQ

14. Databases Azure Azure Cosmos DB Azure Cosmos DB - No SQL API - Table storage Azure Cosmos API for Mongo Azure Cosmos API for Cassandra Azure Database for MariaDB Azure SQL Azure Database for MySQL Azure Database for PostgresQL Mongo DB Atlas

15. Observability Azure Azure Monitor Application Insights Azure Log Analytics Managed Service for Prometheus/ DataDog /Sites24*7 etc.,

16. DevOps Tools Azure Azure DevOps Azure Repos Azure Pipelines Azure Artifacts Azure Resource Manager Azure CLI CI/CD : GitHub Actions IaC : Azure Bicep/Terraform

17. Recap

18. #4 There is always scope for improvisation Acknowledge it!!!

19. #5 Let your architecture/design Evolve 
