4. platform or infrastructure?
it’s common to divide cloud platforms into two categories:
infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
you create and control your own vm
example: amazon.
platform as a service (PaaS)
you provide only an application to run
examples: google and force.com
microsoft’s cloud platform (windows azure) is most often viewed as PaaS
the distinction is blurry, however vm
IaaS os vm

5. flexible service architecture
a service consists of:
isolation boundary
component roles
roles can be web role…
or worker role
with endpoints
numbered identical instances of each role
…all specified in a service model
web role
worker role 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: blobs:
net/planky/splat
blobs:
“files”
permissions
tables:
structured (not relational)
queues:
web   worker role
a storage service consists of:
isolation boundary
storage types:
blob

11. storage lots of space… pay only for what you use distribution
scalability
performance stays the same as load increases
replication: data written 3 times
instantly/strongly consistent
geo-distribution: choose the location

12. connecting to the outside world

15. sql azure microsoft’s rdb in the cloud
“sql server as a service” (is that SQLaaS  ???)
management:
sql server management studio
sql coding:
tools you know: ado.net
“it’s just sql server”…
max db size: 50gb… sharding.

16. sql azure lots of space… scalability replication: data written 3 times
performance stays the same as load increases
replication: data written 3 times
geo-distribution: choose the location
familiar coding environment
