The role of Azure Logic Apps

“

- [Instructor] Now that we have motivated the need for why you should learn logic apps, let us now look at what are logic apps? So logic apps turns out they're a cloud service that can help you schedule, automate and orchestrate tasks. The kinds of tasks that we were talking about in the previous slide about creating a business process across these applications or building workflows. In addition to being able to allow you to create these automation tasks, logic apps also offers something called enterprise application integration. And here is where if you wanted to have a lower level industry standard business to business communication, logic apps support that as well. Logic apps is available, of course, it's in the cloud, as I said earlier, part of the cloud services, but that does not mean you cannot connect to a data source that may be residing on premises. So logic apps allows you to build hybrid applications that can combine resources in the cloud and on premises. Logic apps also supports multiple deployment models. And this will become very clear as we go through later chapters. But it will suffice to understand at this point that you can create a logic app which can run in a multi-tenant environment, an environment managed by Microsoft, or it can run in a dedicated environment which may be your own enclave inside Azure. And then the latest development in logic apps is, that they allow you to host logic apps in an environment of your choice. So for example, you may want to deploy a logic app inside your own Kubernetes cluster or maybe inside your own virtual machine. That option is supported as well. Finally, logic apps comes with a growing gallery, literally hundreds of connectors that can help you connect with things like Dynamics, Salesforce, BizTalk, SAP and more.
