Cloud anywhere:
Azure for hybrid and multicloud environments
6
regardless of where in your environment it
runs. You also need to manage your hybrid
environment in a way that maximizes
productivity and agility without ever
sacrificing important concerns like security
and compliance.
To help your IT team respond to the
need to work efficiently in a complex
environment, Azure offers services that
help you to govern and manage across
your environment, build apps and deploy
them to any location, deploy and manage
Azure services on Kubernetes clusters, and
deliver security across your organization.
With the ability to use on-premises,
multicloud, or edge technologies to
develop, deploy, manage, and secure your
application infrastructure, Azure hybrid
cloud gives your team the ability to easily
integrate a variety of technologies in a
scalable, reliable, and efficient architecture.
This e-book aims to show you best
practices—including what you should look
out for and the fundamental steps any
company needs to take to enable hybrid
environments. It also provides you with
some insights into common use cases
for hybrid cloud, some of which may
be instantly relatable, and others which
may present new ideas for how to work
in a hybrid environment. After a quick
description of three important factors in
setting up a hybrid cloud environment—
networking, identity management, and
security—the e-book covers six different
hybrid use cases, allowing you to explore
topics that are most relevant to
your business.
