What's new in Azure Architecture Center
The Azure Architecture Center (AAC) helps you design, build, and operate solutions on Azure. Learn about the cloud architectural styles and design patterns. Use the technology choices and guides to decide the services that are right for your solution. The guidance is based on all aspects of building for the cloud, such as reliability, security, cost optimization, operations, and performance.
The following new and updated articles have recently been published in the Azure Architecture Center.
