A Practical Tour of an Azure Development Environment
This talk will demonstrate an example of a development environment for Microsoft Azure covering aspects like tools, technologies, processes, and system design. Drawing from real-life experience working with startups and small to medium size companies Manfred will cover important subjects including selecting appropriate tools, setting up a minimal automated release process, options for useful technologies, and how to design your system for zero-downtime upgrades.
How do you use different types of cloud storage? How do you roll out schema migrations? How do you start with a simple design but leave the door open for massive scalability if needed? How do you know your cloud application is running? How do you support mobile devices while postponing native mobile apps to later when you have a clearer picture? What cloud resources should you look at first, which ones can you prioritize for later? What choices do you have for security and is role-based security sufficient? How do you organize your solution, projects, and files?
This Tour of a development environment for Azure gives you an overview and provide practical recommendations for fast-tracking your first steps towards using the full potential of Microsoft Azure.
