Azure solution architectures

Hybrid connectivity

Azure Stack enables you to deploy Azure services on-premises or in the cloud with a consistent application logic, development paradigm and operations methodology. Hybrid cloud applications are a single system that has components running in both Azure and Azure Stack. This solution blueprint is relevant to establishing connectivity for any application that involves communications between the Azure public cloud and on-premises Azure Stack components. Hybrid connectivity is a foundational blueprint that will be applicable to most Azure Stack solutions. Note: This doesn't apply to Azure Stack deployments that are disconnected from the public internet.

Immutable Infrastructure CI/CD using Jenkins and Terraform on Azure Virtual Architecture overview

Azure is a world-class cloud for hosting virtual machines running Windows or Linux. Whether you use Java, Node.js, Go or PHP to develop your applications, you will need a continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline to push changes to these virtual machines automatically.

Live streaming digital media

A live streaming solution allows you to capture video in real-time and broadcast it to consumers in real time, such as streaming interviews, conferences and sporting events online. In this solution, video is captured by a video camera and sent to a channel input endpoint. The channel receives the live input stream and makes it available for streaming through a streaming endpoint to a web browser or mobile app. The channel also provides a preview monitoring endpoint to preview and validate your stream before further processing and delivery. The channel can also record and store the ingested content in order to be streamed later (video-on-demand).

Retail and e-commerce using Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Build secure and scalable e-commerce solutions that meet the demands of both customers and business. Engage customers through customised products and offers, process transactions quickly and securely and focus on fulfillment and customer service.

Simple branded website

Quickly build and launch digital campaigns that automatically scale based on customer demand. Start simple with the content management system which enables you to easily maintain the messaging on your website in real time, from a browser, with no coding required.

Demand Forecasting and Price Optimisation

Pricing is recognised as a pivotal determinant of success in many industries and can be one of the most challenging tasks. Companies often struggle with several aspects of the pricing process, including accurately forecasting the financial impact of potential tactics, taking reasonable consideration of core business constraints and fairly validating the executed pricing decisions. Expanding product offerings add further computational requirements to make real-time pricing decisions, compounding the difficulty of this already overwhelming task.

Ops automation using Event Grid

Event Grid allows you to speed automation and simplify policy enforcement. For example, Event Grid can notify Azure Automation when a virtual machine is created or a SQL Database is spun up. These events can be used to automatically check that service configurations are compliant, put metadata into operations tools, tag virtual machines or file work items.

CI/CD for Containers

Containers make it very easy for you to continuously build and deploy your applications. By orchestrating deployment of those containers using Kubernetes in Azure Container Service, you can achieve replicable, manageable clusters of containers.
