Summary

In this chapter, we started with understanding the architecture of Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations. We covered the conceptual architecture, various components, their roles, and how they function. Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations embraces modern architecture built for cloud deployment. The new architecture, when deployed in the cloud, uses Azure AD for the identity model and Azure SQL as the database, and the application components get deployed using Windows Server containers. On-premises deployment uses AD FS for authentication, SQL Server 2016 for database, and a Service Fabric standalone cluster to deploy application components. In the new architecture, the AOS is hosted on IIS, and batch operations run as a Windows service. Application logic is now modular and separated into an application platform, application foundation, and application suite.
