Azure Content Spotlight - Azure Application Architecture Guide

Welcome to another Azure Content Spotlight! These articles are used to highlight items in Azure that could be more visible to the Azure community.

This weeks Content Spotlight is about the Azure Application Architecture Guide.

Azure is making a tremendous groth and keeps expanding. Features and Architectual styles like Microservices, containers and serverless are more adopted nowadays. This adoption brings a lot of oppurtunities, but also brings confusion and more questions, like:

• What kind of architecture is best suitable for me, and how can I decide?
• What is the best storage solution?
• When should I use an Serverless Architecture and what are the benefits and limitations?
• How can I improve scalability?

For answering this questions, the AzureCAT patterns & practices team published the Azure Application Architecture Guide. 

The Azure Application Architecture Guide includes the following topics:

• Architecture Styles.
• Technology Choices.
• Design Principles.
• Pillars.
• Cloud Design Patterns.

You can also download this guide as an ebook.
