5. flexible service architecture
a service consists of:
isolation boundary
component roles
roles can be web role…
or worker role
or vm role
with endpoints
numbered identical instances of each role
…all specified in a service model
web role
worker role
vm role 1 1 1

6. applications are packaged
worker role
web role 1
application binaries etc
service model:
serviceconfiguration.cscfg – dynamic change
# instances of each role
servicedefinition.csdef – fixed
which roles make the app
app.cspkg – application package
Application

7. fabric is the core for paas

9. storage architecture a storage service consists of: storage types:
isolation boundary
storage types:
blob
table
queue

10. storage architecture blobs: tables: queues: “files” permissions
