Chapter 3

Describe Azure management and governance

As you move to the cloud, it’s important to plan accordingly. You must consider several factors. Cost is certainly one factor, but how you plan your resource governance is also important, and in most situations, you’ll also need to deal with compliance with your corporate policies.

As you deploy your resources, you’ll need to understand the options available for managing and deploying your resources. You’ve had a chance to see the Azure portal already, and now it’s time to dig deeper, as well as look at some of the available command-line options.

You’ll also need to understand how to monitor your resources, and this chapter will cover the tools that make that possible.
