4. Agenda Understand elasticity Autoscaling Application Block
Azure Scalability
How to achieve elasticity
Autoscaling Application Block
Definitions
Usage scenarios
Handling varying load levels
Implementing your AAB application

5. Understand elasticity
Windows Azure is a scalable platform Which allows you to add and remove resources With flexible pricing
Flexible

6. Understand elasticity
Scaling is manual, based on your decisions
Flexible

7. Understand elasticity
You can automate scaling:
Service Management API
PowerShell
Writing your own code
3rd party tools
Or use Autoscaling Application Block

8. Demo Scaling with PowerShell 11/14/2018 6:05 AM

10. Autoscaling Application Block
Part of Enterprise Library Integration Pack for Windows Azure
Same configuration and usage with the other EL blocks
A block designed for elasticity / autoscaling Azure applications
From the Microsoft Patterns and Practices team

11. Autoscaling Application Block
Business reason:
Minimize operational costs:
Reduce manual work
Reduce the risk of introducing mistakes when scaling
Pay exactly what you need

12. Autoscaling Application Block
Usage scenarios: Predictable load patterns. E.g.: business hours, days of week, etc. React to specific resource usage variations

13. Autoscaling Application Block
Reactions to usage variations: Instance scaling. Add or remove instances (virtual machines actually running your app) Throttling. Limit or disable application features

14. Autoscaling Application Block
AAB collects monitored data from your Windows Azure application Based on your rules, initiates scaling actions AAB is part of a custom application (that you build), hosted on premises or in Windows Azure

15. Autoscaling Application Block
Resources involved:
1 “monitor” application which you develop, based on AAB
Hosted in Azure or on Premises
Rules XML file
Diagnostics enabled in the Azure application
Azure Table Storage which stores logs

16. Demo Introduction to AAB 11/14/2018 6:05 AM

17. Autoscaling Application Block
Define the operands and the rules (XML file)
Resources to be monitored (e.g. CPU load, queue length)
Constraint and reactive rules
Actions: scale or throttle
Define the service information (XML file)
Which Windows Azure application to monitor
Where to look for monitoring data
Configure the AAB application (app.config)
Using EntLib configuration console

18. Demo Advanced settings with AAB 11/14/2018 6:05 AM

19. How about multiple applications?
1 Monitor application, with multiple Autoscaler instances
The same application in 2 datacenters?
Same as above

20. Common mistakes Autoscaling (automatically) while performing an update
Lack of limits (min and max instance count)
No “opposite” rule.
i.e.: scale up for a certain condition -> make sure you scale down for the opposite condition
Host the monitoring / autoscaling app on premises
No stabilizer
