1. Azure Services Platform Piotr Zierhoffer

2. Agenda Cloud? What is Azure? Environment Basic glossary Architecture Element description Deployment

3. What is a cloud? You already know that, next slide please.

4. What is a cloud?

6. Scenarios Rapid growth Unpredictable usage ▫tickets, emergency systems, marketing Predictable usage ▫e-commerce, test results Temporary usage ▫events

7. Where is Azure? „Host your webpages, deploy ready apps” – SaaS ▫manage nothing „Host your applications” – PaaS ▫manage app and data „Host your infrastructure” – IaaS (?) ▫manage app, data, middleware, OS… (!)

8. What is Azure? Everything you will ever need Windows Azure Windows Azure Fabric SQL Azure Live Services SharePoint Services Dynamics CRM Services

9. Environment Data Centers ▫More than 10 ▫Less than 100 2.3 * 10 9 $ 30000 engineers $$$$$$$$$$$$

10. Basics The world is based on.NET ▫ or is it not? Java, Python, PHP, Ruby… You need more power You don’t need to know how does it work Connect via WCF, SOAP, REST, … Microsoft.WindowsAzure Use PowerShell Trust us!

11. Glossary Role ▫app logic Storage ▫queue, table, blob ▫Azure Drive  NTFS mounted to a role  up to 400 MB/s (+cache) SQL Azure ▫replicas + load balancing

12. Glossary Fabric ▫hardware abstraction ▫scaling, load balancing AppFabric ▫access control and more Management API Diagnostic API

13. Architecture

14. Web Role Hosts web application ▫ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, WCF, FastCGI, … ▫IIS – full configuration in XML ▫automatic load balancing ▫user front-end

15. Worker Role ~= console application ▫Run() ~= main() ▫may execute any code, host database, etc. ▫may work like a daemon process ▫usually contains process logic

16. AppFabric PaaS level integrates cloud apps with other apps as for now – only Service Bus and Access Control

17. AppFabric Access Control ▫Single Sign-On ▫Active Directory Federation Server ▫Windows Live ID, Google, Yahoo!, Facebook… Service Bus ▫secure communication ▫hybrid topologies ▫different protocols Cache ▫transparent for client, easy to manage, nonexistent

18. Storage Table ▫no constant schema ▫scales over thousands of servers (partitioning key) ▫no relations, foreign keys, joins, aggregates ▫LINQ, REST API ▫indices on PK and RK ▫timestamp – optimistic concurrency + ETAG ▫entities up to 1MB, but they can have different properties ▫transactions within a partition

19. Storage Blob ▫no structure, serialized data, video, pictures, … ▫Block Blob – streamed data  Up to 200GB/blob, 4MB blocks ▫Page Blob – random access  Up to 1TB/blob ▫Put, Get, Delete, Copy, Snapshot, Lease ▫properties Drive ▫shared files, simple structure management ▫possible mounting of VHD with work environment ▫based on Page Blob

20. Storage Queue ▫communication between roles, separation ▫almost FIFO, one way  almost – messages may be processed many times  so there is NO real order guarantee, possible starvation etc. ▫easy scaling ▫free data transfer from roles to queues! ▫up to 100TB, 8kB per message, saved for 7 days ▫timeouts

21. Deployment Windows Azure ▫IntelliTrace ▫no debugging Azure Development Storage/Fabric ▫95% compatibility with Azure (90% of AF code) ▫local development Separate configuration (no redeploying) Deploy via Web, VisualStudio, PowerShell Demo
