Key Concepts of On Premise Active Directory 

1. Forest 
1. At its highest level, a forest is a single instance of Active Directory. Therefore, a forest is synonymous with Active Directory, meaning that the set of all directory partitions in a particular Active Directory instance (which includes all domain, configuration, schema and optional application information) makes up a forest. 
2. This means that when you have multiple forests in an enterprise they will, by default, act separately from each other as if they were the only directory service in your organization.

AZURE Data Centers Architecture

1.  In order to check latency of data center use http://azurespeedtest.azurewebsites.net/
2. No All the services are available in all regions and Data Centers use service availability page to verify the same. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/regions/services/
3. Azure uses Blade Server in data center either in compute or storage role 
4. 40-50 Blade server per Rack (mounting unit)
5. Each Rack has Aggregation Switch 
6. Some Racks have a special controller called Fabric Controller responsible for VM Life cycle management 
7. 20 Racks together makes a Stamps or Cluster  

Is it Suggested to Use Repository Pattern and Unit of Work with Entity Framework ( ORM Solutions)

Repository Pattern and Unit of Work Pattern on the top of Entity Framework an overhead from both performance and maintainability point of view. Unless otherwise there is strong business driver we should be stay away of this approach.

EDMX Error :ADVENTUREWORKS2008 Production.Document' was referenced by a relationship, but was not found.

Root cause of this problem is EF does not support HierarchyId. Quick fix is to skip Document(Production) table while importing to EDMX
