Azure Infrastructure Engineering

Azure is the second-largest public cloud in the world, and for enterprises that already own Microsoft software, it is the default choice. But there is a wide gap between using Azure and engineering on Azure. Using Azure means clicking through the portal and hoping nothing breaks. Engineering on Azure means designing a landing zone, expressing your infrastructure as code, enforcing policy at the management group, and running operations with the same discipline you apply to application code. Azure Infrastructure Engineering is the platform engineer's guide to building that discipline. You'll go from the resource model and identity foundations through the core work of landing zone design: management group hierarchies, subscription vending, hub-and-spoke networking, private endpoints, infrastructure as code with Bicep and Terraform, and policy baselines that enforce governance without stopping delivery. Part III covers reliability and operations — Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, KQL, disaster recovery, security operations with Defender and Sentinel, and cost engineering with FinOps discipline. Part IV looks at multi-region architecture and three closing case studies: the regulated enterprise landing zone, the high-growth SaaS platform, and the migrated on-prem workload.
