Bij het ontwerp en de implementatie van (hybride) cloud oplossingen is het altijd verstandig om dicht bij de standaard te blijven en grillige workarounds of maatwerk, daar waar mogelijk, te vermijden.

Een belangrijke bron daarbij zijn zgn referentie architecturen; de bron / basis zoals de oplossing bedoeld is en zoals deze kan intergreren met bestaande omgevingen.

Microsoft heeft een goed overzicht van de hun cloud IT architectuur bronnen :

Microsoft cloud for enterprise architects series

Learn core cloud architecture concepts for Microsoft identity, security, networking, and hybrid. Review prescriptive recommendations for protecting files, identities, and devices when using Microsoft’s cloud. Learn how to deploy a modern and secure desktop with Windows 10 and Office ProPlus.

These architecture tools and posters give you information about Microsoft cloud services, including Office 365, Windows 10, Azure Active Directory, Microsoft Intune, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and hybrid on-premises and cloud solutions. IT decision makers and architects can use these resources to determine the ideal solutions for their workloads and to make decisions about core infrastructure components such as identity and security.

Microsoft Hybrid Cloud

Microsoft hybrid cloud is a set of business scenarios that combine a Microsoft cloud platform with an on-premises component. You can use hybrid cloud as a path to migrate your business and its IT needs to the cloud or integrate cloud platforms and services with your existing on-premises infrastructure as part of your overall IT strategy.

This poster tells the cross-cloud story on hybrid cloud architecture and scenarios for Azure, Office 365, Microsoft Intune, and Dynamics 365.
