Managment and Governance Flashcards
Reserved Instance
Azure also offers the ability to commit to using a set amount of cloud resources in advance and receiving discounts on those “reserved” resources. Many services, including databases, compute, and storage all provide the option to commit to a level of use and receive a discount, in some cases up to 72 percent.
Billing zone pricing
Some inbound data transfers (data going into Azure datacenters) are free. For outbound data transfers (data leaving Azure datacenters), data transfer pricing is based on zones.
Pricing Calculator
The pricing calculator is designed to give you an estimated cost for provisioning resources in Azure.
TCO Calculator
The TCO calculator is designed to help you compare the costs for running an on-premises infrastructure compared to an Azure Cloud infrastructure.
Cost Mangment
provides the ability to quickly check Azure resource costs, create alerts based on resource spend, and create budgets that can be used to automate management of resources.
Microsoft Purview
a family of data governance, risk, and compliance solutions that helps you get a single, unified view into your data. Microsoft Purview brings insights about your on-premises, multicloud, and software-as-a-service data together.
Azure Policy
enables you to create, assign, and manage policies that control or audit your resources. These policies enforce different rules across your resource configurations so that those configurations stay compliant with corporate standards.
Resource lock
A resource lock prevents resources from being accidentally deleted or changed.
Service Trust Portal
provides access to various content, tools, and other resources about Microsoft security, privacy, and compliance practices.
Azure Cloud Shell
Azure Cloud Shell is a browser-based shell tool that allows you to create, configure, and manage Azure resources using a shell. Azure Cloud Shell support both Azure PowerShell and the Azure Command Line Interface (CLI), which is a Bash shell.
Azure Powershell
Azure PowerShell is a shell with which developers, DevOps, and IT professionals can run commands called command-lets (cmdlets). These commands call the Azure REST API to perform management tasks in Azure.
Azure CLI
The Azure CLI is functionally equivalent to Azure PowerShell, with the primary difference being the syntax of commands. While Azure PowerShell uses PowerShell commands, the Azure CLI uses Bash commands.
Azure Arc
Azure Arc simplifies governance and management by delivering a consistent multi-cloud and on-premises management platform.
Azure Resource Manager (ARM)
Arc lets you extend your Azure compliance and monitoring to your hybrid and multi-cloud configurations.
provides a management layer that enables you to create, update, and delete resources in your Azure account. Anytime you do anything with your Azure resources, ARM is involved.
ARM Template
you can describe the resources you want to use in a declarative JSON format. With an ARM template, the deployment code is verified before any code is run.
Bicep
Bicep is a language that uses declarative syntax to deploy Azure resources. A Bicep file defines the infrastructure and configuration. Then, ARM deploys that environment based on your Bicep file. While similar to an ARM template, which is written in JSON, Bicep files tend to use a simpler, more concise style.
