What is Microsoft Fabric?
Microsoft Fabric is a unified data analytics platform by Microsoft and Azure Data, designed to integrate various data tools (including existing Azure tools) into one seamless solution. It streamlines data processing and delivers actionable insights efficiently.
Azure SQL Database,
Azure Cosmos DB,
Cortana.
How do you create an Azure Fabric cluster?
The important steps involved in creating an Azure fabric cluster are:
Step 1: Prerequisites
Azure subscription,
Installation of Azure CLI/PowerShell on the local machine,
Identify or create a resource group to store the cluster.
Step 2: Plan the cluster by determining
Number of nodes,
Node types,
VM Size for the workload,
Durability level based on availability requirements.
Step 3: Create the Service Fabric Cluster using
Azure portal,
Azure CLI,
ARM (Azure Resource Manager) template.
Step 4: Validate and manage the cluster by:
Connect to the cluster using the Service Fabric Explorer in a browser or install the Service Fabric CLI (sfctl).
Step 5:
Deploy the microservices or containerized applications to the cluster.
Step 6:
Monitor and maintain using Azure Monitor or Service Fabric Explorer to manage the cluster.
What is Service Fabric in Azure?
Azure Service Fabric is Microsoft’s distributed systems platform which is used for building microservice applications. It simplifies the process of developing, deploying, and managing applications with many independent services. Join our Microsoft fabric course to master the essential skills using practicals.
Key features of Service Fabric
Microservices support,
High availability and scalability,
Rolling upgrades,
Container orchestration,
Distributed Systems Management
How does Azure Fabric ensure high availability?
Azure Service Fabric delivers a highly reliable environment for running modern cloud-based applications. It ensures high availability through a combination of:
Robust design principles,
Advanced fault-tolerance mechanisms,
Automatic failover,
Dynamic resource management.
What are stateful and stateless services in Microsoft Azure Fabric?
Stateful and stateless services are effective ways to manage and persist their data. They are fundamental building blocks for designing microservices-based architectures. We offer hands-on practices to gain the knowledge of these services in our Microsoft fabric training.
Stateless services are services which are used for short-lived operations like, fetch or update data from databases, processing HTTP requests and more. They do not maintain any state or data across calls.
Stateful services are suitable for long-lived operations to maintain data consistency. They maintain state directly within the service with low-latency access.
How do you scale applications in Microsoft Azure Fabric?
The applications in Microsoft Azure Service Fabric are scaled by adjusting the resources allocated to the services or applications to meet demand. Service Fabric supports both vertical scaling and horizontal scaling. Expertise in scaling by joining our Microsoft fabric course.
Horizontal Scaling
Scaling Out: Increases the number of nodes to handle higher loads.
Scaling In: Reduces the number of nodes or replicas when demand decreases.
Vertical Scaling
Scaling Up: Increases the resources (CPU, memory, etc.) of individual nodes in the cluster.
Scaling Down: Reduces the resources of nodes to save costs when demand is low.
Auto-Scaling with Resource-Based Triggers
Use Azure Monitor metrics like CPU usage, memory, request count to define auto-scaling rules for nodes or services.
What tools are used for monitoring Azure Fabric?
Azure Service Fabric is monitored to ensure the health, performance, and reliability of applications and clusters. The primary tools used to monitor Service Fabric are
Azure Monitor,
Service Fabric Explorer,
Application Insights,
Diagnostics logs,
Performance monitoring tools
What are the security best practices for Azure Fabric?
Security in Azure Service Fabric is crucial for protecting applications, data, and clusters.
Secure Cluster Access by enabling Cluster authentication using Azure Active Directory (AAD) or certificate-based authentication.
Apply Azure RBAC to use Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) that defines fine-grained access controls for managing the cluster.
Secure communication using SSL/TLS to encrypt communication between clients, nodes, and services..
Protect sensitive data by storing sensitive configuration settings, such as connection strings or API keys in Azure Key Vault.
Restrict traffic to and from Service Fabric clusters using NSGs. Define rules to allow traffic only from trusted sources and block unnecessary ports.
Deploy clusters in separate VNets to prevent unauthorized access. Use Azure Private Link to securely access Azure services from within the VNet.
