How do you deal with the problems you face when using Azure? This practical guide provides over 75 recipes to help you to work with common Azure issues in everyday scenarios. That includes key tasks like setting up permissions for a storage account, working with Cosmos DB APIs, managing Azure role-based access control, governing your Azure subscriptions using Azure Policy, and much more.

Author Reza Salehi has assembled real-world recipes that enable you to grasp key Azure services and concepts quickly. Each recipe includes CLI scripts that you can execute in your own Azure account. Recipes also explain the approach and provide meaningful context. The solutions in this cookbook will take you beyond theory and help you understand Azure services in practice.

Data breaches happen frequently these days. Hackers, and malicious users target IT systems in small, mid sized, and big organizations. These attacks cost millions of dollars every year, but cost is not the only damage. Targeted companies will be on the news for days, weeks, or even years, and they will suffer a permanent damage to their reputation, and customer base. In most cases, lawsuits will follow. You might be under the impression that public cloud services are very secure. After all, companies such as Microsoft spend millions of dollars improving their platform security. But applications, and data systems hosted in the Microsoft’s public cloud (as well as any other cloud providers) are not immune to cyber attacks. In fact, they are more prone to data breaches because of the public nature of the cloud.

It is critical to understand that cloud security is the common responsibility shared between Microsoft Azure, and you. Azure will provide data center physical security, guidelines, documentation, and powerful tools and services to help you protect your workloads. The responsibility to correctly configure resource security lies with you. For instance, Azure Cosmos DB can be configured to accept traffic from only a specific network, but the default behavior allows all clients, even from the public internet.

You'll find recipes that let you:

Store data in an Azure storage account or in a data lake
Work with relational and nonrelational databases in Azure
Manage role-based access control (RBAC) for Azure resources
Safeguard secrets in Azure Key Vault
Govern your Azure subscription using Azure Policy
Use CLI code to construct your application or fix a particular problem
