  1. Windows Azure Overview Bart VandeGhinste Enterprise Architect Microsoft DPE Belgium

  2. An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints What is the cloud?

  3. Cloud Computing Patterns On and Off • On & off workloads (e.g. batch job) • Over provisioned capacity is wasted • Time to market can be cumbersome Inactivity Period Compute Usage Average Growing Fast • Successful services needs to grow/scale • Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge • Cannot provision hardware fast enough Compute Average Usage Unpredictable Bursting • Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand • Sudden spike impacts performance • Can’t over provision for extreme cases Compute Predictable Bursting Average Usage • Services with micro seasonality trends • Peaks due to periodic increased demand • IT complexity and wasted capacity Compute

  4. Cloud Services IaaS PaaS SaaS Infrastructure-as-a-Service Platform-as-a-Service Software-as-a-Service build consume host

  5. Cloud Services • Packaged Software • Platform • (as a Service) • Software • (as a Service) • Infrastructure • (as a Service) • You manage Applications Applications Applications Applications • You manage Data Data Data Data Runtime Runtime Runtime Runtime • Managed by vendor Middleware Middleware Middleware Middleware • You manage • Managed by vendor O/S O/S O/S O/S Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization Virtualization • Managed by vendor Servers Servers Servers Servers Storage Storage Storage Storage Networking Networking Networking Networking

  6. Windows Azure Comprehensive set of services that enable you to build, host and scale applications in Microsoft datacenters Open & Flexible Leverage Existing Investments Designed for next generation apps

  7. Windows Azure Core Services Database Compute Storage

  8. Windows Azure Compute Various Roles Web Role Worker Role VM Role Various Instances Extra Small Small Large Extra Large

  9. Windows Azure Storage Scalable storage in the cloud 100tb per storage account Auto-scale to meet massive volume and throughput Accessible via REST services Access from Windows Azure Compute Access from anywhere via internet Supporting .NET Client Library Various storage types Table - group of entities (name/value pairs) Queue - Simple non-transactional message queue Blob - Large binary storage Drives - NTFS VHD mounted into Compute instance

  10. SQL Azure Database SQL Server relational database model delivered as a service Support for existing APIs & tools Built for the cloud with high availability & fault tolerance Easily provision and manage databases across multiple datacenters SQL Azure provides logical server Gateway server that understands TDS protocol Looks like SQL Server to TDS Client Actual data stored on multiple backend data nodes

  11. SQL Azure Database Logical optimizations supported Indexes, Query plans etc.. Physical optimizations not supported File Groups, Partitions etc… Transparently manages physical storage

  12. Hello Windows Azure demo

  13. Windows Azure provided… Environments for your apps Machines, rack space, switches, connectivity Automated deployment & configuration Isolation, redundancy, load balancing Abstraction & Flexibility

  14. Building BlockServices Distributed, in-memory cache for Windows Azure apps Session state provider for Windows Azure applications .NET client library for caching data Caching Authn support using multiple identity providers Easily integrate Live ID, Facebook, Yahoo, Google, & AD Support for industry standards and existing .NET APIs Access Control Messaging & connectivity for building distributed and loosely-coupled apps in the cloud Enables hybrid apps across both on-premises & the cloud Queues & Topics for persistence & pub/sub messaging Service Bus

  15. Data Services SQL Server Reporting provided as a service Reports authored using existing tools (BIDS) Reports can include rich Data Visualizations (Maps, Charts, Tablix) and exported to variety of formats Directly viewed in the browser or rendered as part of an app using the Reporting Viewer control Web Service interface to render & manage reports Reporting Synchronize data from on-premises SQL Server to/from SQL Azure in the cloud Synchronize data between SQL Azure databases potentially in different data centers Data Sync

  16. Windows Azure Scenarios Ideal for Applications Needing: Scalability Availability Fault Tolerance Common Application Uses: Web Sites Compute Intensive apps Device Applications Web APIs Social Games
