5. Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS)
IaaS introduces new functionality that allows full control and management of both Windows and Linux virtual machines along with an extensive virtual networking Offering.
Flexible
Open
Solid
Easily migrate existing applications as-is to the cloud
Assist new cloud app development by Integrating IaaS and PaaS functionality
Set up new Virtual Machines in Microsoft Azure with only a few clicks
Agentless deployment for Windows Servers
Start from a pre-built image from our image library
Upload your own virtual hard disk from on-premises
Create your own customized images
Support for community and commercial versions of Linux
Move images back on premises as necessary
Run enterprise applications such as SQL Server, SharePoint, or AD DS in the cloud
Easily create hybrid cloud and on-premises Solutions with virtual private network (VPN) connectivity between the Microsoft Azure data center and your own network
Key point is – It’s just a virtual machine, a container for any software (operating system all the way up) you want to run in it. You pay for the underlying resources you are reserving (CPU and RAM). These virtual machines (using virtual networking) can be private to your corporate network – they can see your corporate AD DS and so forth). Even though they live in the public cloud, you can surround and protect them so they are just part of your own infrastructure.

6. IaaS Workloads: It’s All About the App
Line of Business Applications:
Custom Applications
Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
Content Management System (CMS)
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
Business Intelligence (BI)
Application infrastructure:

Developer, testing and staging environments:
Quickly provision and un-provision entire environments
Hybrid applications:
Applications that span your data center and the cloud
Useful scenarios for IaaS

7. Avoiding Lock-In
Windows Virtual Machines can move freely between all three clouds.
Microsoft Azure
Other Service Providers
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine
In this slide, the important thing to land is that our virtual machine implementation is the same as on-premises. Now we only do Hyper-V (there are third-party tools and tools in System Center that can convert between VMWare and Hyper-V), but it is simple to take existing Hyper-V images and move to the cloud, to other hosters who host Hyper-V or Microsoft Azure – and of course you can move them back as well.
Note: You cannot do this with Amazon Web Services (AWS) – you are locked in.

Key Scenarios
At this point we covered compute. Remember our key building blocks (Compute, Data Services, Networking, and Application Services). Outside of compute (which is special in that this is where your custom code and business logic runs), all these other capabilities in the platform are things that your applications just use. Of course, any given app won’t use all of these services, most will just use a few. The point is that we have a tremendously complete platform.
Check if the briefing also has a SQL Azure topic (which will usually follow the Microsoft Azure topic). If so, just cover this very lightly.
Most apps though do need to store or deal with structured data. Typically that would live in a database.
There are two flavors we are going to talk about – SQL Server in a virtual machine, and Azure SQLDB. This is also a good proxy or illustration that makes things very real between the differences of IaaS and PaaS and how all the value and promise of the cloud is delivered through PaaS (and just some of it through IaaS).
Can Use both SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine and Microsoft Azure SQL Database in a single app.

10. Azure SQL DB - How It Works
Infrastructure Layer
PHP
Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) Data Services
SQL Server
Applications
and Tools
Open Database Connectivity
ADO.NET
Tabular Data Stream (TDS)
Client Layer
Services Layer
Provisioning
Billing and Metering
Connection Routing …
TDS and Secure Socket Layer
Platform Layer
SQL Database Fabric
Management Services
Architecture
Client Layer: Used by the application to communicate directly with the SQL database.
Services Layer: Gateway between the client layer and the platform layer.
Platform Layer: Includes physical servers and services that support the services layer.
Infrastructure Layer: IT administration of the physical hardware and operating system. S

Of course Azure SQL DB is somewhere under the covers, SQL Server. This picture illustrates where SQL Server actually lives. There are a number of services built around this that really add value to the picture and deliver those cloud principles (scale, elasticity, self-service, resilience, and so forth). You don’t need to explain all the layers – the point is they are there and actually that in the traditional IT world, many of these functions in the picture are done by people, by IT pros and database administrators, worrying about how to get databases provisioned, keep them running, change them, fix them when broken, and so forth.
Click: The other interesting thing about this picture is that when you provision a database for your app (which you can do in about six seconds), the app actually gets three virtual databases and one logical database that it interacts with (click). Each of the three database is located within Microsoft Azure in fault domains – a unit of computers all with redundant hardware, racks, switches, and so forth. There is a primary and two secondaries. Microsoft Azure is responsible for all the consistency and integrity of the three databases and, completely automated, will recover from failures and ensure balance of primaries and secondaries across physical nodes.
All you need to do is provision a database, say how big you want it, upload your schema and data, then start using it. Everything else is taken care of for you. And, you only pay for the actual data you are storing in the database (calculated on a daily basis).
Contrast this picture against doing your own thing in Azure Virtual Machines with SQL Server (or any other database for that matter), and of course having to provide the same level of resilience. P

12. Who Manages What? Infrastructure (IaaS)
Microsoft manages hardware and virtualization technology
Platform (PaaS)
Microsoft manages everything except your applications and data
On-demand data centers, also known as IaaS, provide compute power, memory, and storage, typically priced per hour, based on resource consumption. You pay only for what you use, and the service provides all the capacity you need, but you are responsible for monitoring, managing, and patching your on-demand infrastructure.
The biggest advantage of IaaS is that it offers a cloud-based data center without requiring you to install new equipment or to wait for the hardware procurement process. This means you can get IT resources that otherwise might not be available.

13. IaaS Vs PaaS Full features of on premise SQL Server and BI
SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS)
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
Full control over physical administration data files
Easier migration path to the cloud for existing code
Free from physical administration and management
Quick provisioning for testing and POC; focus on the code
Elasticity with features like self-sharding and Data Sync
