Windows Azure AppFabric Building, Managing, and Connecting High-Density Cloud Applications Clemens Vasters, Technical Lead, Microsoft

This Session The Cloud, Multi-Tenancy, and the Middle Tier Why do we need a new middle tier? What are the required capabilities? Windows Azure and Server AppFabric What’s in it? When can I use it? 2

Server Apps are Easy, Aren’t They?

…. maybe not so easy, after all.

But there’s middleware to help with most of this …

… all sorts of middleware, in fact

AppFabric

How do you linearly scale your application to handle increasing load? How do you get better performance and reduced data access latencies? How do you store data mash-ups from multiple data repositories? How do you manage ASP.NET session state and page output caching? How do you reduce data-tier pressure without complex partitioning? How do you do all this with a predictable cost model? Access Control Workflow Web Services Service Bus Integration

Cache Service Commercial Availability End of April 2011* *Scheduled Release Date.

Windows Azure AppFabric Cache A distributed, in-memory cache for applications running in Windows Azure: –In-memory cache located near your Azure applications –Based on Windows Server AppFabric Caching Benefits: –Highly scalable with low latency and high throughput –Can dynamically increase and decrease as needed, without redeploying or modifying your application –User doesn’t have to bother with configuration, deployment, or management of their cache infrastructure

Key Capabilities & Benefits Easily integrates into existing apps –Cache-Aside Model –One API for Server and Cloud –ASP.NET Session State Provider –ASP.NET Page Output Caching Provider Very low latency with Local Cache Caches any serializable CLR object –No serialization costs for local caching Secured w/ Access Control Service Web Role DB Sessions Reference Data Activity Data Resource Data Output Local Cache

Cache Capacity Available in multiple sizes –128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB Use combination of these sizes or multiple of these to create your desired cache capacity Increase/decrease cache capacity dynamically –Data preserved when increasing capacity –Eviction policy followed when decreasing capacity

Cache How do you achieve load-decoupling between subsystems? How do you balance work across scale-out workers? How do you distribute events to dynamic subscribers? How do you transfer messages reliably and transactionally? How do you reach into on-premise systems across firewalls? How do you organize and discover service endpoints?
