Azure Storage

 Azure Storage

The Azure storage account is durable, highly available, and scalable. By using Azure storage account services, we don’t need to worry about space because it will be scaled upon our demand. The Azure storage account is a container that groups a set of Azure storage services. Only data services from Azure storage can be included in a storage account.

Storage account in Azure is a method of creating a storage service for storing data in it. It contains all the Azure storage objects decided into a single resource group. It contains Blob, queue, tables, and files with disk images. It uniquely provides namespace and service access to functions of storage.

Azure Core Storage Services

There are several advantages to using Azure storage irrespective of type. Azure storage is easily scalable, extremely flexible, and relatively low in cost depending on the options you choose.

The Azure Storage platform includes the following data services:

  • Table – A NoSQL store for schema-less storage of structured data.
  • Blob – A massively scalable object store for text and binary data.
  • Queue – An asynchronous message queueing between application components.
  • Files – Managed file shares for cloud or on-premises deployments.

Extend the Life of Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 with Azure Arc and SCCM Integration

  Challenge: Maintaining security for Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 after end-of-support by deploying Extended Security Updates (ESUs). Leveraging existing SCCM infrastructure for update deployment while simplifying ESU management. Solution: This approach combines the strengths of SCCM and Azure Arc to achieve a streamlined ESU deployment process for on-premises Windows servers. SCCM: Trusted Patch Management: SCCM remains your familiar tool for deploying updates, including ESUs, to your Windows servers. SCCM integrates well with WSUS for efficient update distribution. Azure Arc: Centralized ESU Management: Onboard eligible Windows servers (2012 & 2012 R2) to Azure Arc. Important: Update Azure Arc agent to version 1.34 or later for ESU support. Purchase and manage ESU licenses directly through Azure Arc (optional, simplifies licensing). Assign ESU licenses to your Azure Arc-enabled servers for simplified tracking. Workflow: Azure Arc manages ESU licensing and assignment. SCCM...

High Availability vs. Disaster Recovery in Cloud: Key Differences Explained

Image
What is the difference between HA & DR in Cloud?   Both High Availability (HA) and Disaster Recovery (DR) are important concepts in cloud computing that aim to keep your systems and data up and running. However, they address different scenarios and have distinct approaches. High Availability (HA) focuses on preventing downtime caused by isolated failures within the cloud system itself. This could include hardware malfunctions, software glitches, or network disruptions. HA achieves this by designing systems with redundancies, meaning there are backups in place to take over if a primary component fails. This can involve: Redundant servers: Having multiple servers running the same application, so if one fails, the others can pick up the load. Clustering: Grouping multiple servers so they act as a single unit. This allows for automatic failover to a healthy server if one goes down. Load balancing: Distributing traffic across multiple servers to prevent overloading any single se...

Understanding App Registration vs. Enterprise Application in Microsoft Entra ID

  In Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory (AAD)) , both App registration and Enterprise application registration are essential components for configuring applications that interact with Azure services or other applications. They serve distinct purposes within the application setup process. App registration: Creates a globally unique application object, also known as an app registration. This object defines the core details of your application, such as its name and what it does. It also generates an application (client) ID used for identification. Think of it as the blueprint for your application. You perform app registration in the Azure portal under " App registrations ". Enterprise application registration (Service principal): Represents a specific instance of an application (created via app registration) within a particular  Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory (AAD))  tenant (your organization's tenant). This creates a service p...
