Robust Cloud integration with Azure

Chapter 2. What Is an Azure App Service?

 

Change is the essential process of all existence.

 
 --Mr. Spock, Star Trek

This chapter defines the details and capabilities of an Azure App Service. The chapter then explores the basics of the four building blocks of an App Service: the web app, mobile app, API app, and logic apps.

We will then introduce our sample solution for a fictional company named Sunny Electrical Manufacturing.

In this chapter you learn the following topics:

  • What is an Azure App Service?
  • Why you should consider developing applications using App Service
  • What are Azure Resource Groups and how should we use them?
  • What is an App Service Plan?
  • An introduction to our hypothetical company

What is an Azure App Service?

An Azure App Service is a new composite PaaS service for developing web apps (websites and web applications), logic apps (data orchestration components), API apps (web services), and mobile apps (mobile backend services) all under the one service. Previously, these services were being offered as individual Azure services.

What is an Azure App Service?

The table here describes the cross pollination between the old Azure services and the new App Service:

New name

Old name

Functionality

Web apps

Azure websites

The new name for Azure websites.

The Web Hosting Plan now termed App Service Plans.

Mobile apps

Azure mobile services

A new app type that integrates previous mobiles services functionally.

Can now integrate with on-premise and SaaS systems, WebJobs, and includes scaling options.

Enterprise Integration Pack

Azure BizTalk services

Allows users to perform enterprise application integration with App Service app types.

Allows users to perform B2B integration scenarios...

App Service plans

An App Service plan determines the set of features and capacity you require for your apps and services to use. Also, it allows you to group several Azure resources together to share one pricing tier, thereby reducing costs.

There are five different pricing tiers: free, shared, basic, standard, and premium. The table here describes the overall features available for each type of pricing tier. For a more detailed list of the capabilities, see this link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/app-service/plans/ .

An overview of our sample solution

Rather than giving you simple disparate samples of code for each chapter, we decided to develop a full-blown IT solution for a manufacturing and distribution company. This will show you how all the Azure artefacts can be integrated together to provide a working solution. By the end of this book, you should be able to appreciate how Azure services makes integration simpler and easier.

An overview of our sample solution

Our solution is based on a fictitious company named Sunny Electrical Manufacturing. This company manufactures electrical equipment for the electrical wholesale market. They source raw materials from suppliers around the world for their manufacturing division. Sunny Electrical Manufacturing encourages self-service for suppliers and customers. Suppliers are allowed to view stock levels of their products that they supply to automatically raise purchase orders.

Sunny Electrical Manufacturing wants to offer better serviceability by incorporating IoT devices in their products to...

Summary

This chapter gave you an overview of Azure App Service and compared how the old Azure Services relates to the new Azure App Service. We covered the basic fundamentals of the different types of services and pricing tiers available.

We then introduced our fictitious company Sunny Electrical Manufacturing and described how Azure is used to integrate the components of the solution.

In the next chapter, we will describe how to get started building an API App.

Just a couple of chapters in. All good so far, then I reach the first actual coding example. I usually like working through the examples with the book, as it helps me to remember. Also things never work immediately, and the troubleshooting teaches me what's going.The book though, does not provide any link to download the example code, and not enough info to do it yourself. So it tells you in one line, to create a product database on azure, then moves to the next point, without giving the database script etc.12/07Reduced my rating to one star.It's not only the missing code. That could be forgiven if at least there was a good explanation of what you need to do on your own. But while there is no code, there are also steps missing and not mentioned. And when you try to replicate their behaviour, you find yourself on google trying to figure out the missing info. For example, in Chapter 3, in the section related to Client authentication, it suddenly mentions that you should have a client secret to use, but no where does it explain where to get this client secret from, or what it is. I seriously do not think this book was tested on someone unfamiliar with the subject.Waste of money, which I could return it and get a refund at the moment.
