    Foreword Since the advent of cloud computing, there have been continuous improvements and additions to the cloud services offered by providers. Microsoft Azure is on the forefront by continuously expanding its set of services and helping organizations meet their business challenges. Microsoft Azure gives businesses the freedom to develop and deploy their solutions on an ever-expanding global network, while allowing them to use the tools and frameworks of their own choice. In addition, continuous innovation by Microsoft not only supports an organization’s product development needs today but also assures support for their product visions of the future. This book was written for professionals who want to design robust solutions using Microsoft Azure for their businesses and products. It will help solution architects translate their business requirements into a cloud solution that not only uses the power of cloud computing on Microsoft Azure but also assures them that their products are scalable and reliable. With the help of this book, I believe that solution architects will be able to master the best cutting-edge technologies on the cloud and will be able to build solutions for tomorrow. Mrinal Pandya
