Summary

This first chapter has given us a brief introduction to Microsoft Azure Stack Hub. It has allowed us to understand that Microsoft Azure Stack Hub is an extension of Microsoft Azure that is run on-premises within a customers' data center. We have learned that it is considered an HCI platform that is supported by both hardware and software vendors. We now know it is a consistent hybrid cloud platform that offers Azure services that are integrated with both infrastructure as a service and platform as a service. We have also learned about the capabilities that can be exposed by the platform, which means we should be able to explain the hybrid use case scenarios for which Microsoft Azure Stack Hub can be utilized.

We should also be able to describe the minimum hardware requirements of the integrated systems provided by the hardware vendors. Finally, we looked at the AZ-600: Configuring and Operating a Hybrid Cloud Platform with Microsoft Azure Stack Hub exam and now understand what skills are measured as part of this exam.

In the remainder of this book, we will build on this foundation and cover each of the capabilities of Microsoft Azure Stack Hub in greater detail.

In the next chapter, you will dive into the underlying architecture that underpins Microsoft Azure Stack Hub and the building blocks of the platform.
