Azure Services Overview

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform. |   System Manager / DevOps |  20.05 This feature was introduced in 20.05.

Manager version 20.05 supports Microsoft AzureMicrosoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. cloud, which allows you to install it on Azure cloud. This, in turn, enables services that make use of Azure Blob StorageAzure Blob Storage is Microsoft's object storage solution for the cloud. Blob storage is optimized for storing massive amounts of unstructured data. Unstructured data is data that doesn't adhere to a particular data model or definition, such as text or binary data., Azure Key VaultAzure Key Vault is a cloud service that provides a secure store for secrets. You can securely store keys, passwords, certificates, and other secrets., and Azure Queue StorageAzure Queue Storage provides cloud messaging between application components. In designing applications for scale, application components are often decoupled so they can scale independently. Queue storage delivers asynchronous messaging between application components, whether they are running in the cloud, on the desktop, on an on-premises server, or on a mobile device. Queue storage also supports managing asynchronous tasks and building process work flows. solutions. Manager deployment on and interaction with Azure cloud is shown below.

This Azure cloud feature complements the existing AWS cloud support, which is available in Manager version 4.0 and higher.

Manager comes with the following pre-built Azure services and service connections:

Note

Cloud specific services and some service connections are not available and can't be manually created, unless the deployment environment matches your installation mode.

To check the installation mode of your Manager server, select System > System Info, find the Build Properties section, and check the deployment.env value. For more information, see system info.

This means that unless your Manager is installed on Azure cloud, you won't find any of Azure services created for you during the installation. The same concept applies to AWS services, meaning you must install Manager on AWS cloud to be able to use them. However, the Azure Storage and the Amazon S3 service connections are created on any deployment.

We have enhanced our service framework in a way that is transparent for you to use it with different underlying cloud providers. It means that our cloud service implementations behave in the same way whether it uses or calls underlying services hosted on premise, Amazon or Azure infrastructure. This has allowed us to make some configuration settings nearly identical so it is easier for you to use, similar to System Event Publisher configuration.
