Cattle not Pets
You name pets,
you feed pets,
you dress them up
in little dresses
Cattle not Pets
There's a whole herd
of cattle, and we tend
to the entire herd at once

Machine isn't durable
Maybe different machine when you wake up
We need to learn not to care
Disk isn't durable
- Temp folder
- Upload folder
- Log files
Process isn't unique
We can't assume there's only one process running
Maybe there's 2 servers running this code
Maybe there's 1,000 servers running this code
Demo

Moving Into Azure
Demo
Data Storage: SQL, NoSQL, and Files
Azure Compute
| PaaS | Azure Web Apps |
| IaaS | Azure Kubernetes Service |
| SaaS | Azure Functions |
Do as I say, not as I do
I'll show direct deployment ways.
Use these to get familiar with Azure.
Don't do this in production.
Use DevOps Automation:
Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.
