Brilliant video - I was struggling to understand the purpose and use case scenario for this, but this demo is excellent, I get it now - thanks for sharing.
This is a good video . Thank you . Could you please create videos on below topics ? 1. CDN 2.Service EndPoint 3.Service Tag Also please show after creating a privateendpoint for blob storage ,how we can access the files from a Azure VM ?
Hi Dean, great video! Not sure if it's the purpose of your videos, but I would like to see included the costs and recommended use cases for things like Front Door , when should be used over other applications (that can achieve similar or exact same thing). Also more complex scenario(s) follow-up video would be great.
Thanks, does this look like the kind of complex scenario you are thinking? miro.medium.com/max/4478/1*l6nKvsPHq-DnarfnBBikRg.png Also when to use it was covered in the video, but the first question is do you need a regional service, or a global one second what kind of service are you providing is it layer 4, layer 7, or just DNS, what kind of security do you need? If it is a global service that is layer 7 Front Door is your service
Hi, thanks for the reply and the scenario looks interesting. Regarding the use cases, I would like to see more real life scenarios (if you have any and it's possible to share) rather than having the definitions from docs.microsoft.com in a video. It's great content, especially for me as I'm just starting to discover Azure, but the way your videos are built seem to be for experienced azure engineers/architects. As a beginner, it's difficult to understand when I should choose one resource over the other especially since nowadays it's all about the costs. In very large environments, it might make a sense to use similar resources like Front door, CDN, Traffic Manager, but, at least I, don't have access to those. This is just a personal view. Cheers, Ciprian
Thanks for sharing Ciprian! We want to make the Azure Academy accessible to everyone. can you help me think of how we can make a video that would help you where you are as a beginner and grow into our regular content?
Hi Dean, for me, it's easier to understand how something works and fits in a design by seeing actual implementations. This is why I was asking if you could present a design or actual production implementation of the resource discussed in the video. Not sure if this applies to everyone but this is how I learn best. I work with Azure at a small scale and a lot of the topics are difficult to understand in a way of shouls i start use it or not. Also, it eould be great if you could include a minute or 2 in each video to discuss the price involved. I know about the calculator but maybe you can spare some thoughts based on your experience. Cheers, Ciprian
pricing is a tough topic to go into, specifically because each situation is different. The way you configure resources can impact cost...so I have learned that when I have covered pricing...more than the calculator that it can set wrong expectations for people...so if I mention cost now, I generally reference the Azure price calculator and leave it at that.
Thanks for this informative video Dean! Appreciate the efforts that you take for creating such a nice content. There have been lot of request(s) from the community for creating a video on Azure Traffic Manager, I would suggest that CZcams has tons of videos on Azure traffic manager but most of the videos have been recorded by people long back or back in days when we didn't had routing methods like Multivalue or Subnet. It will be nice, if you can prepare a video which will outline any use cases around MV and Subnet. The other routing methods are pretty straight forward and easy to understand but the documentation around MV and Subnet doesn't really make lot of sense from understanding point of view and from implementation point of view.
Hi Dean, great videos!!! Have you considered creating a play list for Azure certifications? Or in the comments/ or opening titles, consider adding the objectives and domains the instructional videos map to for the AZ certifications like AZ-104. Thank you as always for the videos!!
That is a very good idea...however I don't have the AZ Certification tests or materials...I have a 4 certs, but I also don't see a lot of value in certifications. A Certification to me means that you knew how to pass a test. It does not mean that you know what you are doing in the real world. Several years ago the term "Paper MCSE" was popular to mean people who passed the MCSE Exam but had no idea what anything meant. One of my managers took the MCSE and passed because they knew how to memorize for a test...they weren't even an IT Person. He still didn't know how to edit the registry or configure TCP/IP. 😁 but If you have the training materials...I would be happy to check it out for creating a video series.
@@AzureAcademy Thanks for the honest and candid response.. sadly.. organizations are looking to their associates to get certified. Microsoft even rewards/recognizes their partners for the volumes of 'certified' employees. To my understanding MS is now moving towards role-based certifications and the exams leverage more business-case scenarios and questions. 'critical thinking' some might say. I currently use the Microsoft Learn modules, but one can only read so much; demos and discussions such as yours are awesome, especially if you implement use case and troubleshooting scenarios. I think this might be why mapping your videos to the exam domains would add additional value to the learning for administrators and those seeking certification... I also believe it would increase your already 'large-following' of viewers :-) And hey, who doesn't want more viewers right ?!!
Agreed. My point is I find credentialing is a terrible measure of competence. IMHO knowledge and Experience trumps certifications. If I hire you to do a job and you have a dozen certs because you know how to study and pass tests, but never touched a Computer…It isn’t going to end well. And I’ve worked with lots of those people
Great content. What are preferred WAF configurations for Odata in case of prevention? Odata is often a false positive for sequel injections any recommendations how we could handle this?
Hi Dean, thanks for the content....Just few queries as in the demo App VMs were having dedicated Public IP, so can you please help me with how the communication is going for Front Door fqdn and one more thing how does it differ from CDN. Regards
Difference between front door and a CDN is the way your Contant is presented to the Internet Front door is layer 7 http/https web traffic A CDN is to deliver files and make the files accessible from multiple endpoints around the world
@@AzureAcademy Hi Dean...thanks for the info. What i think is that if possible can you please start a series on case studies of migrating and implementing user requirements on Azure....what i mean is how to design and architect Azure infra on the basis of requirements like green field or lift n shift will be very helpfull.
There are thousands of scenarios like that…the issue in scenarios is that they are not applicable to a wide audience…so I can cover architecting solutions if that helps…which you can plug the principals into all scenarios…?
@@AzureAcademy Hi Dean,thanks for the response. What i think is that,you can showcase scenarios related to like how we have network design in on-prem with any kind of web vm's connecting to database and storage in backend over the network and then the traffic from the internet is getting load balanced in the data center or via global load balancer,implementing necessary firewall abd waf rule, few vpn connections....and taking this entire same thing over Azure cloud. What i mean is architecting and implementing this all on Azure cloud one single video or in pieces will be very helpful....Because what i had observed is that still wast majority of people has questions on how to interconnect this all over the cloud.

The backend health is going down to zero percentage and the frontend host URL is redirecting to the backend pool webapp URL. Please help me out....
When more than 1 web app sits behind the front door however, I was seeing the page not rendering correctly, giving different versions of the page.
