    Setting Up Cloud Environments
    • Steps:
    – Create a new CLOUD SERVICE using the Windows Azure Management Portal
    – Create BLOB STORAGE to store disk images (VHDs)
    – Create or upload VHDs to blob storage
    – Create VIRTUAL MACHINE INSTANCES with different roles (IIS/SQL) based on app
    blueprint
    – Create ENDPOINTS
    – Configure LOAD BALANCING and FAILOVER in Azure
    – Optional: create a VIRTUAL NETWORK to connect to on-premises resources
    Cloud Services
    A Cloud Service is a
    combination of cloud
    resources and their
    configuration details:
    – Management
    – Configuration
    – Security
    – Networking
    Services with VMs
    Multiple Virtual Machines
    can be hosted in the same

    Managing Cloud Environments
    • Different tools for different purposes:
    – Managing your Cloud servers in the Windows Azure web based management portal
    works great
    It is the place to start out creating and managing servers
    – If you want to automate and script your management or do advanced management
    tasks that the portal doesn’t provide – then you need the Azure Command Line Tools
    – There are tools for Windows, Mac, and Linux
    On Mac and Linux you run JavaScript or PHP tools
    – The most powerful tools are the Azure PowerShell Tools that you run on Windows
    Using PowerShell
    • Preparation Steps
    – Download and install the Azure PowerShell Tools
    – Start a PowerShell prompt with Admin privileges
    – Type the command Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile <enter>
    This will launch a browser window to the Azure portal where you download the
    publishsettings file
    – From the PowerShell command line run the Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile
    command to import the certificate and subscription information:
    Import-AzurePublishSettingsfile c:\temp\your-filename.publishsettings.
    – You are now ready to manage your Azure Cloud Servers from PowerShell!\

    Managing Storage
    • Remove all Blobs from one Azure Storage Account
    Removes blobs from blob storage containers. The script will enumerate through all
    containers and remove the blobs, maintaining the existence of the container

    • Download all Blobs from one Azure Storage Account


    Copies blobs from a single storage container or all containers to a local directory

    • Copy Files from Local Folder to Azure Blob Storage


    Copies files (in parallel) from a local folder to a named Azure storage blob container

    Setting Up Cloud Environments
    • To use your own template VMs in the Cloud:
    – Provision a new VM in Windows Azure
    – Customize, configure, prepare and then capture this VM as an image
    – Deploy new VMs from this image
    – Automate provisioning with PowerShell
    Governance
    • Billing Issues
    – Per Project? | Per Group? | Per Division? | Corporate IT?
    – Enterprise Agreement or MSDN?
    • Security Issues
    – Enforcing corporate policies
    – Hybrid always means VPNs?
    – Windows Azure subscription ownership
    • Licensing Issues
    – Stopping people to install software indiscriminately in the Cloud
    – Microsoft software supported in Windows Azure VMs
    Who is Responsible?
    • MSDN | EA | PAYG
    – # of subscriptions
    – Development vs. production
    – Sharing subscriptions/pooling

    • Billing
    – EA = Prepaid consumption hrs.
    – Billing rolls up to a subscription
    – Use subscriptions for charges

    • Environment
    – Enterprise portal vs. MSDN portal
    Image Repositories

    Environment Management
    • Automated/Scheduled Shutdown/Startup
    – Saving Money | Security
    – End of Day | Beginning of Day scenarios
    • Shelving | Snapshotting
    – Single VMs vs Full Environments
    – Context switching
    – Sharing change sets
    – Saving progress
    • Snapshot Automation
    – Should be fully automated (ex. with PowerShell)
    Shared Services
    • Shared Development Services
    – VSO/TFS, Active Directory, Build Server(s), Data Repositories etc.
    • Options for Shared Services
    – On-Premises: connect Cloud resources with VPNs
    – In the Cloud:
    • IaaS Shared Services (TFS on VMs)
    • SaaS Shared Services (VisualStudio.com)
    Enterprise Dev/Test Checklist
    Define the Deployment Management Strategy
    Define the Billing Units (chargeback granularity)
    Define the Change Management/Versioning Process
    Define the Image Ingestion Strategy and Implementation Technology
    Define the Automation Strategy (PowerShell | System Center | Puppet | Chef)
    Create the Gold VMs (Corporate Policies | IT Software Stack)
