The document provides an overview of Microsoft Azure and its Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) configurations, focusing on cloud fundamentals, design considerations for availability, and the use of availability sets. It highlights Azure's geographic data control, service-level agreements (SLAs), and the importance of proper virtual machine configurations. Additionally, it offers insights into pricing and resource management to optimize costs in cloud environments.
![DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
• Group the service tiers
• Isolate storage by server
o Can use more than one storage
account if needed.
• Make use of Availability
Sets and Fault domains.
• Decouple and
compartmentalise
different tiers. Storage Account - 01 Storage Account - 02

- 5. AGENDA • Azure Fundamentals • Important Design Considerations o Availability • Building a Simple Infrastructure in IaaS • Summary • Wrap Up
- 6. WHAT IS CLOUD? • Cloud is doing your processing somewhere else with someone else’s systems. • We have been doing it for years! o It has had many names and taken many forms.
- 7. WHAT IS AZURE? • Azure is a collection of services provided by Microsoft in their Data Centres located around the globe.
- 8. WHAT IS AZURE? • Azure is a collection of services provided by Microsoft in their Data Centres located around the globe. • You can control where your data resides in the Azure cloud by selecting the geographic location. o You can replicate data between geo-political regions but by default Microsoft does not. • SLAs are by service & relate to availability, not performance. o Will differ between services and have specific requirements.
- 9. WHAT IS AZURE? • You pay for what you use o Identify the frequency and costs associated with the different services. o You can scale up/out and back down again as your needs require. • Very easy to build and tear down environments. o Turn off services when you are not using them to minimise costs.
- 10. AZURE DESIGN CONCEPTS • Important to understand what the requirements are to qualify for the SLAs • SLA for VMs is 99.95% o Multiple VMs serving the same service with fault tolerance designed in.
- 11. AZURE VM SLA "Maximum Available Minutes" is the total accumulated minutes during a billing month for all Internet facing Virtual Machines that have two or more instances deployed in the same Availability Set. Maximum Available Minutes is measured from when at least two Virtual Machines in the same Availability Set have both been started resultant from action initiated by you to the time you have initiated an action that would result in stopping or deleting the Virtual Machines.
- 12. AZURE AVAILABILITY SETS • An Availability set is a configuration of virtual machines that have been deployed over different fault domains. • A fault domain is a collection of servers that share common resources o Think of this as a rack of equipment.
- 15. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS • Group the service tiers • Isolate storage by server o Can use more than one storage account if needed. • Make use of Availability Sets and Fault domains. • Decouple and compartmentalise different tiers.
