Cloud Architecture Patterns: Using Microsoft Azure (Paperback) (雲端架構模式：使用 Microsoft Azure)

If your team is investigating ways to design applications for the cloud, this concise book introduces 11 architecture patterns that can help you take advantage of several cloud-platform services. You’ll learn how each of these platform-agnostic patterns work, when they might be useful in the cloud, and what impact they’ll have on your application architecture. You’ll also see an example of each pattern applied to an application built with Windows Azure.

The patterns are organized into four major topics, such as scalability and eventual consistency, and primer chapters provide background on each topic. With the information in this book, you’ll be able to make informed decisions for designing effective cloud-native applications.

Learn about architectural patterns for:

• Scalability. Discover the advantages of horizontal scaling. Patterns covered include Horizontally Scaling Compute, Queue-Centric Workflow, and Auto-Scaling.
• Eventual consistency. Learn how to maintain data consistency across a distributed system. Patterns covered include MapReduce and Database Sharding.
• Multitenancy and commodity hardware. Understand how they influence your applications. Patterns covered include Busy Signal and Node Failure.
• Network latency. Learn how to deal with delays due to network latency. Patterns covered include Colocation, Direct-to-Storage, and Multi-Site Deployment.
