Build, Deploy, Manage,Scale – Microservices Applications With Azure Service Fabric
Microservice Architecture is slowly and steadily gaining importance in the world of application development. Most of the internet-scale services we are using on a day-to-day basis are built of microservices. Still, developers find building microservice applications a lot more complicated compared to monolithic design of applications and Microsoft Azure in order to reduce these complexities and help developers easily build, deploy, manage microservices applications has brought Azure Service Fabric.

- Powers – Microsoft Services like Azure SQL database, Cosmos DB, Azure IoT, Skype for Business etc.,
- Runs Everywhere – Any OS, Any Cloud . Create clusters either on Azure or on-premises and use any OS (Windows, Linux).
What programming languages are allowed to build these container-based microservice applications?
Azure Service Fabrics gives you to option to choose from a variety of productive programming models and languages including .NET Core 2.0, C#, and Java .
What are the ways to create Service Fabric Cluster to deploy microservices applications?
- Azure Portal – Using this, create Service Fabric Cluster in Azure(Windows or Linux).
- Azure Service Fabric Mesh – A fully managed microservices platform (In Preview) .
- Azure Service Fabric – Available as free download for windows to create clusters on-premises.
What is the pricing of Azure Service Fabric?
No upfront cost, No termination fees, Per-Second billing. There is no charge for the service offered by Service Fabric itself when clusters are deployed using any standard size Windows Server or Linux Virtual Machines. Charges are applied towards the use of Compute Instances, Storage, Networking Resources etc. that are selected during the creation of a Service Fabric Cluster.
