• Pay as you go
• Great for farms that start/stop
Consider Azure for
• Getting rid of your on-prem
infrastructure, but need on-prem
SharePoint
• Dev/Test Labs
• Archives or retention for
compliance
Hosting SharePoint on Azure

11. Key Azure Learnings for SharePoint Admins
Networking and Storage is the Key!
Separate your key networks
Manage your IOPs
Network Connectivity
Isolated in Azure
Connected via ExpressRoute/VPN
Add DCs to the cloud
Read-only DCs work great
Review the SKU Sizing for memory and Cost
Use ARM Templates for Repeatability

12. Use Isolated Virtual Sub-Networks
Separate your key networks
SharePoint Servers
Web Front-Ends, Dist. Cache, App Servers
Domain Controllers
Can route through VPN/ER to on-prem
Should be Read-Only DCs in this scenario
SQL Servers
Isolate from other servers
Connect with On-prem
ExpressRoute or VPN
Full-time connectivity
“Dial-up” VPN
On-demand connectivity for devs/testers
