The solution architecture map

The purpose of the solution architecture map is to help solution architects find their way in Azure. We defined the duties of a solution architect in the previous chapter, which is typically an architect who assembles the different building blocks and services of a solution while considering the non-functional requirements. Solution architects engage with their specialized peers, who are often application, infrastructure, and security architects.

This solution architecture map, illustrated in Figure 2.1, does not alone regroup all the Azure services, nor does it cover all the possible use cases, but it can be used as a source of inspiration. Depending on the extent to which you want to practice solution architecture, we suggest that you carefully read every chapter of this book, to be able to consider the end-to-end aspects of a solution:
