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.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
