Configuring the Fabric Demo
Cloud Libraries Library Servers – Application Frameworks – VHDs – Stores Virtual Machines Libraries and Templates: Libraries
Application Profiles Capability Profiles Guest OS Profiles Hardware Profiles Host Profiles SQL Server Profiles Libraries and Templates: Profiles
VM Templates Service Templates – Used to model a multi-tier application – Source of truth for deployed service configuration Template Servicing – Change the template and then apply that change to deployed instances – Upgrade domains ensures application availability during servicing Libraries and Templates: Templates
