    Daron Yöndem http://daron.me @daronyondem
  2. Hosting something in Azure? • Virtual Machine • Kubernetes (AKS)

    • Docker / Containers (ACI) • App Service Plans • Cloud Services • Anything else left out there?
  3. What you really need for a SPA? • Static file

    hosting > Azure Storage • Maybe some APIs? > Serverless Sauce (Azure Functions) • Combination of the two > Azure Static Web Apps
  4. After the domain name is validated, it can take up

    to 6-8 hours for the custom domain HTTPS feature to be activated.
  5. Premium for more! • HTTP to HTTPS redirection • Analytics

    • URL Rewrite • And some more goodies
  6. So far…. • Hosting for our static files • CDN

    in front of it • HTTPS Enabled
  7. API for the Contact Form • Will use SendGrid to

    send e-mail. • Need an endpoint to pass contact form content. • Need it to be protected against abuse.
  8. A round of cost estimation • 7.5MB Site Storage ≈

    Free = 0.000006328125 cents • 50KB/Page > 500.000 Page Views > 24GB Bandwidth = $0.48 • SendGrid 25.000 E-Mails / Month = Free • 25.000 E-Mail Function Execution for 1s each = Free
  9. Homework for you! • What if someone abused our mailing

    endpoint? • Use Azure API Management Consumption Plan for Request Throttling!
  10. Resources • Storage Account Limits: https://drn.fyi/2NbC7Um • Increasing Storage Account
