I had the privilege of contributing to the MSPress Exam Ref 70-533: Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions book. Specifically, I authored the sections on containers, networking, and Azure Active Directory (Entra ID).

This book serves as a comprehensive guide for IT professionals preparing for the 70-533 certification exam. You can find more information about the book here.

I also contributed to the Microsoft Azure Partner Playbook, which serves as a comprehensive guide for partners looking to leverage Azure's capabilities. Focused specifically on cloud migration and modernization, this playbook provides insights into best practices, strategies, and resources for successful Azure implementations.

You can find more information about the playbook in the Microsoft Partner Center (not available for public download).

Microsoft Azure offers a comprehensive suite of cloud services, enabling developers and IT professionals to build, deploy, and manage applications efficiently across a global network of data centers. This platform also provides extensive support for running Linux workloads, allowing users to leverage the scalability, reliability, and flexibility of Linux within Azure’s secure and high-performance environment.

This white paper focuses on securing Linux workloads running in Azure. It provides a detailed guide to implementing robust security measures tailored for Linux environments, covering identity management, network security, data protection, and compliance considerations. With the growing adoption of Linux on Azure, this paper aims to equip enterprises, particularly those operating in regulated industries, with the knowledge and strategies needed to safeguard their Linux-based applications and infrastructure in the cloud.

This whitepaper focuses on three key categories that can help optimize cloud consumption costs: Azure Services, Pricing Models and Offers, and Cost Analysis Tools. The intent is to equip IT professionals, system administrators, and decision-makers with the knowledge to effectively manage the cloud consumption costs of Linux workloads running in Azure.

The document delves into strategies for leveraging Azure's native cost management tools, such as Azure Cost Management + Billing, to monitor and control expenses. It also highlights the importance of selecting the right pricing models, including Reserved Instances and Spot VMs, to achieve significant cost savings. Additionally, the whitepaper explores best practices for workload optimization, such as rightsizing virtual machines, using auto-scaling, and implementing tagging for better resource tracking.

By following the recommendations outlined in this whitepaper, organizations can not only reduce their cloud expenditure but also enhance the overall efficiency and performance of their Linux workloads on Azure.
