Chapter summary
Azure App Services provide a simple PaaS solution for deploying, managing, and scaling web applications, APIs, API Apps, Logic Apps, and Mobile Apps.
API Apps and API Management both provide ways to publish APIs for partner integration. API Management provides richer features for partner management, licensing, throttling, security, and related management tools.
Logic Apps provide an easy way to create workflows, modern integrations, and even legacy integration with EDI formats.
Azure Functions provide an easy way to trigger workloads that can scale based on consumption or a hosting plan. There are many integration points for triggering functions including queues, HTTP requests, and data triggers.
Azure Service Fabric is a modern orchestration platform that can support native services that leverage unique features such as stateful services and actor patterns, in addition to guest and container processes.
Azure supports several third-party PaaS platforms for containers and microservices including Cloud Foundry and OpenShift.
You have many choices for DevOps and CI/CD workflows in Azure including Application Insights for diagnostics, monitoring and alerts; and VSTS, Jenkins, Chef, Puppet and more for CI/CD integration.
