12. Windows Azure Datacenters
The Windows Azure platform runs today in six datacenters
Two in the US, two in Europe, two in Asia
A developer specifically chooses where an application runs
If the same application is running in two or more datacenters, Windows Azure Traffic Manager can spread requests across them for:
Better performance
Higher availability
Load balancing

26. Applying Azure (1) Some characteristics of Azure-appropriate applications
Apps that need massive scale
Example: A Web 2.0 application
Apps that need high reliability
Example: A SaaS application
Apps with variable load
Example: An on-line ticketing application
Apps with a short or unpredictable lifetime
Example: An app created for a marketing campaign

27. Applying Azure (2) Some characteristics of Azure-appropriate applications
Apps that do parallel processing
Example: A financial modeling application
Apps that must fail fast or scale fast
Example: Start-ups
Apps that don’t fit well in an organization’s data center
Example: A Web app that must be deployed quickly
Apps that can benefit from external storage
Example: An application that archives data
