This blog will be examining the CORE ARHITECTURAL COMPONENT of Azure.

listed.

1. AZURE REGION. B.PAIRED REGION. 2.AZURE AVAILABILITY. 3.RESOURCE GROUP IN AZURE. 4.AZURE RESOURCE MANAGER.

AZURE REGION.

The azure region is a set of data ccentre that are deployed with a latency defined parameter and connectec via and underlining dedicated regional low latency network.There are currently 42 region available around the world with another 12 additional azure region planned for the future

PAIRED REGIONS.

Microsoft operates azure data centres allover the world in many different lacations(otherwise refered to as geographies).A geography in Azure refers to an area where at least one azure region resides.An azure region refers to an area within a geography that contains on or more data centers.

AZURE AVAILABILITY ZONE.

Availability zone is an azure offering that is used to protect applications and data centres from data centre failure.Each availability zone is unique in physical location with the azure region and each zone is suported by one or more data centers, equipped with own independent power, cooling and networking infrastructure.

it is worthy of note that:

1.Each availability zone within azure reqion is comprised of fault domain and update domain.

2.Where 3 or more virtual machine are deployed to different zone in the azure region this virtual machine are deployed in the azure regions.
3.The virtual machine are deplolyed among different zones in the azure region.
4.The virtual machine are also distributed across update domian and ensure virtual machine i different zone are not undated at the same time.
Resilency is achieved through the existence of at least three seperate availability zone in each enabled availabilty zone.

Therefore because availability zones are physically seperate within each region,application and data are inherently protected from data centres failure with zone redundant services, replicating apps across availability zone,there is no single point of failure to deal with.

Azure offers 99.99% virtual Machine that are deployed in an availability zone.

RESOURCE GROUP IN AZURE.

1.They are logical containers.
2.They hold related Azure resources that are part of alarge solution.
3.They are also host the resourses that need to e manged as part of a group.

1. The administator has to decide based on each needs how to allocate resources group in azure.

since all the resources are usually within the resources group usually shares a similar lifestyle.it is important to detrmine the lifestlye of the resourses you intend to place in a single resource group.

4.AZURE RESOURCE MANAGER

it is a tool that lets you work with underlaying resourses that can be part of the solution of a group with a resourse manager you can deploy,update and delete the resourses that forms asolution in a single coordinated solution.
A resource manager also allows tools to streamline deployment.
A resourse manager provide consistentg management layer for azure resourses.
It does more than the scope of this blog.
