For more information about additional Azure service offerings, see the Microsoft Azure Trust Center.
Learning Path runtime (Web Role)
This is the web application that serves the content to users.
Learning Path service (Worker Role)
Worker role is responsible for processing the data from Azure SQL Database and caching them into Azure Redis Cache.
Learning Path uses SQL Database to store:
Content

System metadata
The HTML, images, JavaScript, and CSS are all stored in Azure Blob storage.
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Learning Path uses Azure Content Delivery Network to serve static content to the survey runtime, such as HTML, images, JavaScript, and CSS.
Learning Path uses Azure Active Directory Service to authenticate web services specifically for the designer. Currently the designer is not exposed to customers and partners. And hence the authentication is within only the Microsoft domain.
Learning path uses Azure Redis Cache to cache dynamic content that we serve to users.
Learning Path uses Traffic Manager to improve the availability of important applications by monitoring your Azure or external sites and services and automatically directing users to a new location anytime there’s a failure.
Learning Path uses Azure Resource Manager to deploy CDN, Redis Cache, SQL Database, and cloud services as resource groups so that they are in a consistent state and can be deployed repeatedly.
