4. Table Storage Concepts
NoSQL key-value store technology
Used by applications requiring large amounts of data storage that need additional structure at no performance cost
Entity
Table
Account
Name =…
= …
Add = …
Contoso
Customers
Photos
Photo ID =…
Date =…
Talk Track:
Now lets first start with understanding of the Table Storage Concept.
A table is a collection of entities. Tables don't enforce a schema on entities, which means a single table can contain entities that have different sets of properties. An account can contain many tables, the size of which is only limited by a 100-terabyte storage account limit.
So, what’s an entity? An entity is a set of properties, similar to a database row. An entity can be up to 1 MB in size.
A property is a name-value pair. Each entity can include up to 252 properties to store data. Each entity also has three system properties that specify a partition key, a row key, and a timestamp. Entities with the same partition key can be queried more quickly, and inserted or updated in atomic operations. An entity's row key is its unique identifier within a partition. We will continue on this concept on next slide

5. Highlights of Windows Azure Tables
Server & Tools Business
9/29/2019
Highlights of Windows Azure Tables
Support for LINQ, ADO .NET Data Services, and REST
Rich set of data types for property values
Support for unlimited number of tables and entities (with no limit on table size)
Compile time type checking for ADO .NET Data Services client library
Azure Tables
Web Service
Talk Track:
Now lets see how any application that is capable of HTTP can communicate with Azure tables. That’s because Azure tables are REST-based. This means a Java or PHP application can directly perform CRUD operations—create, read, update, and delete—on an Azure table.
Azure cloud applications can be hosted in the same data center as Azure Table Storage. The compelling point here is that the latency from the cloud application is very low and can read and update the data at very high speeds.
Key Points:
Application(http) to connect with Azure tables

8. Interaction with MongoDB
Open-source, document- oriented database
Does not store data in tables and rows
Stores binary serialized object notation (BSON) documents, which are binary JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) documents, with dynamic schemas
Sample BSON document stored in MongoDB
Talk Track:
Now , we will discuss about the support of NoSQL technologies like MongoDB on Azure . So, first lets see, What is MongoDB?
MongoDB is an open-source, document-oriented database designed with both scalability and developer agility in mind. Unlike traditional relational databases, MongoDB doesn’t store data in tables and rows. Rather, it stores BSON (that is, binary serialized object notation) documents, which are binary JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, documents with dynamic schemas. These BSON documents are stored in collections, which are named groupings of documents. You can see an example of a BSON document on the slide.
Another thing that’s different about MongoDB is that it doesn’t use SQL syntax for queries. Instead, BSON enables developers to map easily to object-oriented languages.
Many types of use cases are viable for MongoDB, including those that have data storage with schema-less or schema-light source data. This type of data is sometimes called unstructured or semi-structured. Some real-world examples of applications that are built on this type of data include log files, health records, and manufacturing event data. This flexibility in schema simplifies application development and reduces the impedance mismatch between .NET objects and persisted data that sometimes occurs when using a traditional relational database management system.

There are two possible Windows Azure cloud services: Windows Azure cloud service worker roles and Windows Azure Virtual Machines with MongoDB.
Let’s take a look at Windows Azure Virtual Machines first, which is Microsoft’s infrastructure as a service offering. It’s comparable to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud offering in that it gives you access to elastic, on-demand virtual servers. So you can use preconfigured virtual machines with either Windows or Linux, and then configure the virtual machines based on your own preferences or the specific needs of your application. Or, you can even build and deploy virtual machines from scratch. After you install MongoDB on a Windows Azure virtual machine, you can develop MongoDB applications in any language MongoDB supports. Supported languages include .NET languages, Java, Node.js, PHP, and a whole bunch more. You can deploy developed MongoDB applications to any location, including public clouds such as Windows Azure or Amazon Web Services, and on any private cloud. The MongoDB Installer for Windows Azure can be used to provision a MongoDB replica set cluster into Window Azure virtual machine instances.
The MongoDB Worker Role project allows you to deploy and run a MongoDB replica set on Windows Azure. Replica set members are run as Azure worker role instances. MongoDB data files are stored in an Azure page blob mounted as a cloud drive. You can also use any MongoDB driver to connect to the MongoDB server instance.
Key Points:
Windows Azure Virtual Machines support for MongoDB
