Azure Storage

Azure Storage is Microsoft's cloud storage solution for modern data storage scenarios. 
 Why Azure Storage:
Durable and Highly Available:
·       Data is safe during hardware failure.
·       Replicate data across data centres.
·       In local catastrophe or natural disaster data replicated to other data centres remains highly available.
Secure:
·       Data encrypted by Azure service Storage Service encryption (SSE) for data at rest.
·       Completed control over who access your data.
Scalable:
·       Designed to massive scale.
Managed:
·       Azure handles maintenance, updates and critical issues.
Accessible:
·       Accessible from anywhere in the world.
·       You can access using http, https, .net, java, php, python and etc.
 You can store all type of data
-       Structure:
The term structured data refers to data that resides in a fixed field within a file or record. Structured data is typically stored in a relational database (RDBMS). ... Typical examples of structured data are names, addresses, credit card numbers, geolocation, and so on.
-  Unstructured:
         In the modern world of big data, unstructured data is the most abundant. It’s so prolific because unstructured data could be anything: media, imaging, audio, sensor data, text data, and much more.
Types of Storage Account:
1.     Standard
2.     Premium

1.     Standard:
-       Backed by HDD (magnetic drives)
-       Low cost per GB
-       Used for applications that requires bulk storage.
-       Infrequently accessed data.

2.     Premium:
-       Backed by SSD (Solid State Drive)
-       Low latency performance.
-       Used by i/o intensive applications.
 
Note: You can’t convert standard storage account to premium and vice versa.
 
Azure Storage Services
Azure Storage includes these data services, each of which is accessed through a storage account.
Azure Container (Blobs):
-       Massively scalable object store for text and binary data.
Ideal for:
-       Serving image or document directly to a browser.
-       Storing files for distributed access
-       Streaming video or audio.
-       Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery and archiving purpose.
-       Storing data for analysis by on-premises or azure services.
Can be accessed from anywhere in the world using http, https, java, .net, php, python and more.
Azure Files:
Managed files share for cloud or on-premises deployments.
Ideal for:
-       Enable you to setup highly available network file share that can be accessed using server messages block (SMB).
-       Multiple vm’s can share files with both read and write access.
-       You can access the files from anywhere is the world using url includes SAS.
-       You can generate tokens for specific amount of time to have access.
-       Mostly used in on-premises applications, configuration files, or diagnostic log and metrics.
-       Storage account credentials used to provide authentication for access to the file share.
-       Anybody with the share mounted will have read/write access to share.
 
Queue Storage:
A messaging store for reliable messaging between application components.
-       Used to store and retrieve messages
-       Messages can be up to 64kb in size.
-       Can contain millions of messages.
Azure Table storage:
A NoSQL store for schemaless storage of structured data.
-       Part of a azure cosmos DB.
-       Ideal for storing structured and non-relational data.

 Storage account kind:

Storage Account

Recommended Usage

Standard General purpose V2

blob, files, queue, table and data lake storage.

Premium block storage

with high transaction rates or scenario that uses
 smaller object or low storage latency

Premium file share

Enterprise or high performance file share applications

Premium Page Blobs

Roadmap to DevOps

    DevOps is nothing but the combination of process and philosophies which contains four basic component culture, collaboration, tools, and practices. In return, this gives a good automated system and infrastructure which helps an organisation to deliver a quality and reliable build. The beauty of this culture is it enables a quality for organizations to better serve their customers and compete more effectively in the market and also add some promised benefits which include confidence and trust, faster software releases, ability to solve critical issues quickly, and better manage unplanned work.   1. What are the tasks of a DevOps Engineer? Design, build, test and deploy scalable, distributed systems from development through production Manage the code repository(such as Git, SVN, BitBucket, etc.) including code merging and integrating, branching and maintenance and remote repository management Manage, configure and maintain infra...

Kubernetes-Update

                                                    https://kubernetes.io/ Kubernetes (K8s)  is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It groups containers that make up an application into logical units for easy management and discovery. Kubernetes builds upon  15 years of experience of running production workloads at Google , combined with best-of-breed ideas and practices from the community. Latest Verion:-  1.19 Kubernetes Objects Kubernetes defines a set of building blocks ("primitives"), which collectively provide mechanisms that deploy, maintain, and scale applications based on CPU, memory or custom metrics. Kubernetes is loosely coupled and extensible to meet different workloads. This extensibility is provided in large part by the Kubernetes API, which is used by int...
