Core Azure architectural components (regions, availability zones, resource groups)
Lesson 2.2: Core Azure Architectural Components 🔹 Azure Regions Region: A set of datacenters deployed within a specific geographic location. Microsoft Azure is available in geographically distributed regions around the world. Each region is a separate deployment area, such as East US, West Europe, Southeast Asia, etc. Choosing a region close to your users reduces latency and improves performance. 🔹 Availability Zones Availability Zones: Physically separate datacenters within a region. Each zone has independent power, cooling, and networking. Used to enhance availability and fault tolerance for applications and data. You can replicate applications across zones to ensure high availability. 🔹 Resource Groups Resource Group: A container that holds related Azure resources. Resources that share the same lifecycle (e.g., web app, database, storage account) should be grouped together. You can manage resources collectively (monitoring, access control, deletion, etc.)...
