Infrastructure as code (IaC) for Java-based apps on Azure

1

Apache Maven

Microsoft also publishes plugins for popular Java IDEs and DevTools such as Maven, IntelliJ, and Eclipse to meet Java developers where they are and more easily integrate them into their development workflows.

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

You can use virtual machines or virtual machine scale sets to host your Java applications. Scale sets, in particular, allow you to scale your applications across hundreds to thousands of VMs very rapidly. As we all probably know, virtual machines require a high level of management and configuration versus some other options out there.

Azure Resource Manager

Azure provides native support for IaC via the Azure Resource Manager model. Teams can define declarative ARM templates that specify the infrastructure required to deploy solutions.

Azure Event Hubs

Sometimes you don’t need an entire Java-based microservice. You can build serverless APIs with the help of Azure Functions. For example, Azure functions have a bunch of built-in connectors like Azure Event Hubs to process event-driven Java code and send the data to Azure Cosmos DB in real-time. FedEx and UBS projects are great examples of real-time, event-driven Java. I also recommend you to go through 👉 Code, Deploy, Scale Java your Way e-book to discover other ways of developing modern Java applications on Azure.

Microsoft Azure Active Directory

If you would like to leverage the Azure Active Directory for managing authentication flow, you can do it with Java code as well by simply adding the package.

Microsoft Azure

If your organization leverages containers, you can use the Kubernetes service on Azure, known as AKS for Azure Kubernetes Service. Or you can use Azure Red Hat OpenShift, a jointly managed and supported offering from Red Hat and Azure. On the other hand, going even further up the spectrum, if your organization does not want to work with virtual machines or be in the business of orchestrating containers, service like App Service provide a managed platform for deploying code or Containers.

Amazon AWS

Well, I expect this comes as a surprise to some people as I was really surprised 😯 and had a ton of questions in my mind 😕 about how it came to be Java on Azure and why Microsoft’s choice is Java? Why not use other public clouds such as AWS? Because at that time, I was totally new to Azure as I got used to developing, building, and deploying apps in the AWS ecosystem. Maybe one of the reasons is that recent research has shown Java is in the top three languages among the world’s top start-ups and Java continues to gain more popularity according to RedMonk and PyPL ✊.
