About Me

SharePoint Cloud Story

 Scale up/down as demand grows/shrinks  It must be secure and supported  Simply consume the service  Easily manage costs, pay for what I use  Running latest versions  Backups aren’t my problem  99.9% uptime  It just works  Single Sign on  Easy to understand SLAs  And many more… Cloud Goals

 SharePoint is now “Cloud” ready  Scale up/out/down – elasticity  99.9% uptime is achievable  Office365 Vs. Azure Vs. AWS Vs. Private cloud  SaaS Vs. IaaS  SharePoint roles/tiers suit cloud deployments  Patching is still fun  Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster SharePoint Cloud Story

SharePoint Cloud Options

 You own and run the farm i.e. patching etc.  Can take time to build environment(s)  Usually pre-built for you  Rackspace etc. can run this for you  Must plan for HA/DR (RPO, RTO)  Single or Multiple datacentres  Check SLAs (99.9%?)  Requires dedicated staff – ongoing maintenance  Run full trust code, timer jobs etc SharePoint On-Prem/Private Cloud

SharePoint IaaS (Azure or AWS) Plan and build the environment – PowerShell AWS is in Aust. Azure coming 2014! You own and run the farm..patching etc. HA/DR – Set Azure Region/AWS Availability Zone Pay for what you use - VM size, storage, network etc Usually 99.9% uptime if more than 1 VM per zone Similar to hosted model but you have more control PAYG Utility computing Pretty much do anything you want Full trust code, timer jobs, patching

SharePoint on AWS (Amazon EC2) Start with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Provision preconfigured Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) within Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Use Cloud Formation to speed up deployment Suggested AMIs for SharePoint 2013: WFE - m3.xlarge (4 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x40 SSD) App - m3.xlarge (4 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x40 SSD) SQL- c3.2xlarge (8 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x80 SSD) ADDS-m3.large (2 cores, 7.5GB RAM, 1x32 SSD) Source:

SharePoint on Microsoft Azure (IaaS) Provision VMs Active Directory SQL Server 2012 SharePoint 2013 Provision multiple VMs for HA PowerShell to automate deployments Suggested VMs for SharePoint 2013: WFE - A4 (8 cores, 14GB RAM, OS 127GB, Temp 20GB) App - A4 (8 cores, 14GB RAM, OS 127GB, Temp 20GB) SQL - A6 (4 cores, 28GB RAM, OS 127GB, Temp 20GB) ADDS- A2 (2 cores, 3.5GB RAM, OS 127GB, Temp 20GB)

SharePoint Online (SaaS) Choose where to provision the O365 tenant DirSync and ADFS required for Single Sign On Nothing to patch, run or maintain! 99.9% uptime Virtually unlimited storage <1TB per Site Collection <1TB OneDrive for Business No server side or full trust code allowed!! Easy to maintain and manage Limited PowerShell support (Get-SPOSite etc) Reference: limits-HA aspx

SharePoint Online/Hybrid When you need to maintain an on-premises environment for security reasons Main use cases: Hybrid Search SAP/Duet (Must be Hybrid) Line Of Business Systems Useful for the “data sovereignty” conversation Can use Azure or AWS for “on premises”
