Windows Azure Overview: Agenda 1.Windows Azure at 50,000 feet 2.Why should you care about Windows Azure 3.Windows Azure: The cloud OS

Why do you care? The “ilities” – Scalability – Reliability – Durability – Availability Development Environment Utility Computing Model No Administration

Scalability “…the ability of a system, network, or process, to handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner or its ability to be enlarged to accommodate that growth” - Wikipedia.orgWikipedia.org

Scale Up/Down to meet demand Start-ups Seasonality Time-of-day Bursts – Predictable – Unpredictable

Reliability “… the ability of a system or component to perform its required functions under stated conditions for a specified period of time” - Wikipedia.orgWikipedia.org

Durability “…property which guarantees that transactions that have committed will survive permanently” - Wikipedia.orgWikipedia.org

Windows Azure Overview: Agenda 1.Windows Azure at 50,000 feet 2.Why should you care about Windows Azure 3.Windows Azure: The cloud OS

What is Windows Azure Think of it as an operating system for the cloud Provides similar features as a traditional OS (at cloud scale) Provides cloud features like DNS Load balancing Abstracts away the details of hosting scalable services Allows you to concentrate on the service itself

Terms Fabric : network of interconnected nodes Fabric controller: Acts as the kernel for our cloud OS – Monitors the health of services – Allocates resources – Handles scaling – Deployment and upgrades – Load balancing

Service Model Defines the requirements for your service Includes things like – Size of your instance – Update/upgrade domains – Fault domains – Endpoints (internal and input) – Access to local resources – Certificates Described (partially) by.csdef file Configuration provided in.cscfg

Fault / Update Domains Fault domain – A physical unit of failure – Having data spread across fault domains protects you against a single point of failure Upgrade domain – A logical unit of upgrade – The fabric will perform in-place upgrades to 1 fault domain at a time

Compute (Role) Options Web Role – Node running Windows Server 2008 (R2) and IIS7(.5) Worker Role – Node running Windows Server 2008 (R2) VM Role – Runs an image of a Windows Server 2008 R2 Virtual Machine *** (to run in R2, specify osFamily="2" in the ServiceConfiguration.cscfg.)

Dev Environment / Portal Agenda 1.Signing up for Azure 2.Creating a hosted service 3.Development Environment

Creating a hosted service

Region or Affinity Group You can choose to deploy by – Region – Affinity Group Affinity Groups – Named groups that map to a single datacenter – Allow you to co-locate services / storage / SQL Azure

Developer SDK and Visual Studio Tools Visual Studio Template Development Fabric Development Storage Visual Studio Deployment Tools StorageClient

Windows Azure Project Template Creates Windows Azure Project Allows you to add the following Role(s) – Web Role ASP.NET web role – classic ASP.NET Web Application ASP.NET MVC2 web role WCF Service web role CGI web role – FastCGI Applications like PHP – Worker Role – Virtual Machine Role

Windows Azure Project Add a new Role Project Associate to Role Project Start Development Storage Contains configuration – *.csdef – *.cscfg Exposes Commands – ‘Publish’ – ‘Browse to Portal’ More…

Development Fabric Compute Emulator Local Simulation Environment for the Cloud Azure equivalent to Cassini Allows for debugging and monitoring – Attach debugger – View logging and diagnostic information as it is being written to the Windows Azure log – Open the local store Auto-assigns ports

Development Storage Storage Emulator Local simulation of Blob, Queue and Table Cloud Storage Uses SQL Server (Express by default) under the hood Account Information for Development Storage – Account name: devstoreaccount1 – Account key: Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHB eksoGMGw== – UseDevelopmentStorage=true Service URIs – Blob: – Queuehttp:// :10001 – Tablehttp:// :10002 Differences between Development Storage and Cloud

Manually Starting Development Storage Start C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.3\bin\devstore\dsservice.exe Stop C:\Program Files\Windows Azure SDK\v1.3\bin\devstore\dsservice.exe /shutdown

Deployment Tools Allows you to deploy to the cloud directly from Visual Studio Configure certificate for authentication
