- 3. Agenda • Tenets of Solution design • Cloud Solution architecture – Layers • Commonly used Azure Services
- 4. Tenets of Solution Design • Solve the business problem • Solution needs to be • Extensible • Scalable • Reliable • Observable • Secure • Highly Performant • Highly available • Cost effective
- 5. #1 Common answer from an architect It depends
- 6. Common pitfalls in Solution design One size fits all approach Performance is an after thought Security is an after thought Cloud will take care of the scalability, availability, reliability Being fancified with latest technologies Applying design patterns will automatically solve the problems
- 7. #2 There is no right or wrong decision it’s all about trade offs
- 8. What’s expected in an Architect? Decision making framework • Identify Expected decision • Make informed decisions • Document decision in ADR • Follow up on implementation Know Cloud Design patterns • Evaluate functional requirements • Evaluate Non- functional requirements • Map the solution design with standardised design patterns Be Forward thinking • Growth model • Compliance changes • Regional expansion • Product roadmaps Design for supportability • Cloud provider support • Operational visibility • Customer support capabilities Source: Solution architect's fundamentals - Microsoft Azure Well-Architected Framework | Microsoft Learn
- 9. #3 There are always two ways 1. Right way of doing things 2. Doing things in a right way
- 10. Simplified Cloud solution architecture
