Azure Service Fabric

 

• A distributed systems platform that helps package, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable microservices and containers.
• Build microservices and container-based applications using the programming language of your choice, including .NET Core 2.0, C #, and Java. It supports two types of microservices:
  • Stateless – It does not maintain a mutable state outside a request and its response from the service such as protocol gateways and web proxies.
  • Stateful – It maintains a mutable, authoritative state beyond the request and its response.
• Enables low-touch workflows to provision, deploy, patch, and monitor applications with Service Fabric application lifecycle management.
• Supports the deployment of multiple application instances.
• A service fabric cluster is a set of virtual machines into which your microservices are deployed and managed.

Security

• Create or import a certificate using Azure Key Vault.
• Use Azure Firewall to complement your existing Network Security Group rules to control access to your cluster.

Pricing
