Story of Learning Thoughts

• Datacenter of LT looks as shown below
• Learning Thoughts is working on two applications on their physical data centers
  • ltecomm:
    • This is a ecommerce product
    • This is developed in Java
    • The archtiecture of this application looks as shown
    • This application is deployed on-premises on Learning Thoughts Datacenter
  • lehealth:
    • This is a healthcare product
    • This is developed in .net
    • The archtiecture of this application looks as shown
    • This application is deployed on-premises on Learning Thoughts Datacenter
• Learning Thoughts wants to use Azure Cloud to run the ltecomm project, Lets lookout for possibilities
  • To run the postgres databas, we have two options
    1. Create a redhat vm on Azure Cloud, Install the postgres database, load the data
    2. We can Azure SQL for Postgres server where we directly get the database and we need to just load the data
  • To run the application components like lt-eorder, lt-einventory etc we have two options
    1. Create a ubuntu vm, install java, install tomcat, deploy and configure the application
    2. Ask azure for tomcat environment and directly deploy the application
• In realizing the architecture, we had two options,
  • the first one was similar to what we did on-premise, so we need to create & manage vm, Install necessary software updates, maintain operating system, take backups of the system
  • the second one was to directly ask for the platform (postgres/java based platforms) and directly use them
• The first Option is called as Infrastructure as a Service and the second option is called as Platform as a Service
• Azure gives options to directly deploy the code/binaries to the platform as a service offering which is Azure App Service
