8/30/2023 0 Comments Drupal vmIf only we had a service which we could use as a drop in file storage backend, actually, we do! Azure Files to the rescue. In conjunction with database storage, we also need file storage to make uploaded files available to all our application servers. Here is some further reading for the database backends: In the following video we are provisioning an Azure ClearDB Mysql backend. ![]() Unlike MariaDB, VM’s are abstracted away behind the ClearDB service on AzureĪs your site grows you should have a discussion about which is a better backend for you.Going back to our principles for this demo, we want to rely on services where possible.In this demo we are going to use a Mysql backend implementation, on Azure we have 2 options:įor this demo we are going to use ClearDB, the reasons behind this are: Drupal 8 core ships with database drivers for Mysql, Postgres and Sqlite. The database is the primary storage backend for persistent data of the application, this component is responsible for storing all our content. ![]() For the purpose of this demo we will create one at the same time we create our database backend, then add resources to it via the same UI as we create additional resources. So how do I create a resource group? These are easily created via the Azure UI when creating new resources. The core fundamentals that resource groups provide us are: The diagram below illustrates the areas which we are going to focus on for this demo and how they interact.Īzure is very focused on providing the high level tooling for deploying applications, without the requirement for the end user to know anything about the low level architecture eg. Implement as much open source as possible.Deployment tools, but for now we will keep it as high level as possible. You may choose a tool that suites your need in the future eg. Keep our complex areas as simple as possible eg.Use services instead of custom deployments of services eg.For this demo we are going to stick to the following 3 principles: ![]() But don’t fear, because our site is deployed in a high availability architecture doesn’t mean we have to make things difficult. So why do we want a high availability (HA) architecture? Why can’t we just deploy a single Virtual Machine (VM) application? Both of these questions come down to Azure’s service level agreements (SLA), to get a 99.95% SLA on Azure you will need to implement an architecture which implements 2 hosts at a minimum.
