When you design the Azure architecture for a SharePoint farm, what is the purpose of the configuration?

When you design the Azure architecture for a SharePoint farm, configure identical server roles to be part of an availability set. This ensures that your virtual machines are spread across multiple fault domains.

What is the next step in Azure deployment?

The next deployment step is to create the cross-premises connection (if this applies to your solution). For cross-premises connections, a Azure gateway resides in a separate gateway subnet, which you must create and assign an address space.

What is fault domain?

A fault domain is a grouping of hardware in which role instances run. Virtual machines within the same fault domain can be updated by the Azure infrastructure at the same time. Or, they can fail at the same time because they share the same rack. To avoid the risk of having two virtual machines on the same fault domain, you can configure your virtual machines as an availability set, which ensures that each virtual machine is in a different fault domain. If three virtual machines are configured as an availability set, Azure guarantees that no more than two of the virtual machines are located in the same fault domain.

Thankfully with the new release of Microsoft Office system, Office Web Apps is no longer integrated in SharePoint 2010. It’s now a separate commercial product and can’t be installed in any server where SharePoint Server 2013 instance is installed. This significant change allows you to only have a server that is able to function to any SharePoint farm that connects to the OWA server. This improves performance a lot. The burden to your organization is that you have to prepare either a dedicated machine for OWA or install it on a non-SharePoint machine and purchase its license.
