 In previous article we learnt about Azure Policies and Blueprints, In this article we will learn about Monitoring concepts in Azure, services like Azure Service Health and Azure Monitor.

Monitoring in Azure

Monitoring in Azure


  • Continuous monitoring of your applications and resources and keeping a log.
  • Centralised repository to correlate events from multiple resources.
  • One stop solution for collecting, analysing and tracking the progress and performance.
  • Enhances availability, performance and security of the resources
  • Provides visual graphics of the statistics.
  • Can be integrated with other tools such as Power BI.
  • Performs 
    • Analysis
    • Visualisation
    • Insights
    • Response
  • Azure Monitor is a central dashboard where you can run queries, view graphs and create alerts for certain events.

Azure Service Health 

  • Is like a doctor which assesses your body first after which it provides you a medical subscription.
  • Azure Service Health does the same, it provides you the health status of Azure
  • Automatic pop-ups appears and warns the user
  • From Azure service health, an administrator can view the health of all the resources in Azure environment
  • Administrator can create a rule to be alerted if an Azure service fails.
  • Alerts you about the planned maintenance activities so that you could prepare for it, helps in high availability.
  • Consists of
    • Azure status - provides overall status of Azure

In this article, we will learn about Azure networking concepts such as architecture, microservices, virtual networks, VPNs, subnet, VPN gateways and most importantly Network Security Group(NSG). All these terms are to be understood if you appearing for AZ900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam. Azure Networking In previous articles we have learnt about Micro- services and how they work, these are alos loosely coupled architecture. Some of the features includes Independent components interact with each other with the help of queues Can be updated and deployed independently Highly scalable Supports Asynchronous messaging N-tier Architecture Supports loosely coupled architecture Application divided into multiple tiers such that higher tier can access lower tier but not vice versa Tiers are re-usable and can be updated or replaced easily without any hassle. Three-tier in general Web Tier(front end) Application tier(back end) Data tier(Storage) Virtual Network Isolated network shared by few g...

Testing in CI/CD

If you are part of testing fraternity you would have heard CI/CD numerous times by now. It's the talk of the software testing town. In this article, we will cover the basics of CI/CD, what actually it is and how it is implemented in software testing. What is continuous integration? In simple terms, development teams can integrate their code into a shared repository. This helps in maintaining code quality and identifying potential issues with the local version of the code at an early stage. What is continuous delivery? Everything that is being continuously merged by the development team, is continuously deployed to the live environment. Continuous delivery is often coined as ‘Continuous Deployment’ as well. Since most developers work in parallel, continuously integrating their code into one repository would mean that the master branch is continuously updated with new features. In order to ensure that there is no compromise in the code quality with so many changes...

We already have covered Public vs Private vs Hybrid differentiation in the previous article. In this article we will be covering three categories of cloud computing with relevant examples and details. Most of you might already be using these services in your daily day-to-day tasks unaware of the face that your organisation has already started the transition into the cloud. For an example, Office 365 is a active SaaS(Software as a service) that most of us uses, VMs are examples of IaaS(Infrastructure as a service) and Azure SQL Database is PaaS(Platform as a service). Now how do we differentiate between the three categories as a user? Will cover the details below. Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) Service provider provides you the hardware User gets some control over the hardware, can customise operating system, storage and VMs. Ensuring service is up and running is shared responsibility While cloud provider makes sure that the hardware is functioning correctly, user needs to make sure ...
