Cloud-native technologies are at the core of enterprise transformation, enabling applications that are scalable, resilient, and intelligent. Microsoft Azure offers a comprehensive platform to architect, automate, and future-proof these next-generation systems.

This book provides a step-by-step journey through cloud-native design on Azure, starting with the fundamentals and addressing real-world challenges. You will explore the differences between cloud-native and microservices, learn how to leverage Azure’s native capabilities, and design robust architectures that incorporate networking, data management, and API-driven patterns. Hands-on chapters guide you through CI/CD pipelines, observability, governance, and security, using tools such as Azure DevOps, Terraform, Azure Monitor, and Key Vault. This book also discusses AI and ML integration with Azure Machine Learning, Cognitive Services, and OpenAI, while gaining insights into future trends like edge computing, 5G, and service mesh. It concludes with five in-depth case studies across industries, such as retail, media, logistics, e-commerce, and healthcare, demonstrating how cloud-native principles translate into practical, high-impact solutions.

By the end of this book, you will be equipped to design, build, secure, and manage enterprise-scale cloud-native applications on Microsoft Azure. From addressing challenges to applying best practices, from automation to observability, and from security to AI-driven innovation, this book takes you step-by-step through the entire lifecycle.
