⚙️ Azure Compute Overview - Advanced

Multi-Region High Availability

Global Load Balancing

# Deploy Traffic Manager for global routing
az network traffic-manager profile create \
  --name myGlobalLB \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --routing-method Priority \
  --protocol HTTP \
  --port 80 \
  --path /health

# Add endpoints
az network traffic-manager endpoint create \
  --name primaryEndpoint \
  --type externalEndpoints \
  --target eastus.cloudapp.azure.com \
  --priority 1 \
  --profile-name myGlobalLB \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup

Cross-Region Failover

# Create replicated resources in secondary region
az appservice plan create \
  --name myAppServicePlan-Secondary \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --location westeurope \
  --sku P1V2

# Sync data with geo-replication
az sql db replica create \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --server myserver \
  --name mydatabase \
  --partner-server myserver-secondary \
  --partner-resource-group myResourceGroup

Advanced Optimization Patterns

Just-In-Time VM Access

# Configure JIT access
az security jit-network-access-policy create \
  --vm-name myVM \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --ports 22 \
  --duration PT1H

Hybrid Connectivity

# Create site-to-site VPN
az network vpn-site create \
  --name myLocalSite \
  --resource-group myResourceGroup \
  --address-prefixes 192.168.0.0/24 \
  --ip-address 203.0.113.12

Key Takeaways

• **Traffic Manager** enables global load balancing

• **Failover** ensures business continuity
