    What is Windows Azure?


    An operating system for the cloud
    Reduce the complexity of internet scale applications Designed to be scalable & available A service running Microsoft datacenters

    What is Windows Azure?


    An Operating System for the cloud Hardware Abstraction across multiple servers Distributed Scalable, Available Storage Deployment, Monitoring and Maintenance Automated Service Management, Load Balancers, DNS Programming Environments Interoperability Designed for Utility Computing

    Why Windows Azure?


    OS Takes care of your service in the cloud
    Deployment Availability Patching Hardware Configuration

    You worry about writing the service

    What is Windows Azure?


    Developer SDK

    Windows Azure SDK


    Local Development Fabric emulates running Compute Storage multiple instances, load-balancing, service API Local Development Storage emulates blob, tables and queue storage Command line tools allows integration outside of Visual Studio

    Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, 2010 add-in


    Provide rich tooling and templates to easily build your application
    13

    Windows Azure API


    All operations are accessed through RoleEnvironment RoleEnvironment Handles
    Retrieving configuration information LocalResource locations (local disk) Accessing Role information like InstanceEndpoints necessary for inter-role communication Exposes events during instance lifecycle, allowing a chance to respond to topology or config change

    Storage
    Blobs, Drives, Tables, Queues Designed for the cloud
    3 replicas Guaranteed consistency

    Accessible directly from the internet via REST API


    .NET Client library supported

    Does not require compute Storage account drives unique URL, e.g.:
    https://<youraccount>.blob.core.windows.net
    18

    Blobs
    Blobs stored in Containers 1 or more Containers per account
    Scoping is at container level /Container/blobname $root is special name for root container

    Blobs
    Two types, Page and Block
    Page is random R/W, Block has block semantics

    Metadata, accessed independently


    name/value pairs (8kb total)
    19

    Private or Public container access

    Queues
    Simple asynchronous dispatch queue
    Create and delete queues

    Message:
    Retrieved at least once Max size 8kb Operations:
    Enqueue Dequeue RemoveMessage

    20

    Tables
    Entities and properties (rows & columns) Tables scoped by account Designed for billions+ Scale-out using partitions
    Partition key & row key Operations performed on partitions Efficient queries No limit on number of partitions

    Use ADO.NET Data Services


    21

    Service Lifecycle
    Create service package
    Binaries + Content + Service Metadata

    Deploy via web portal or Service Management API Add & remove capacity via web portal or API Deployed across fault domains Upgrade with zero downtime

    22

    Automated Service Management


    You tell us what, we take care of how What
    Service metadata

    How
    Metadata describes service No OS footprint Service is copied to instances Instances were copied to physical hardware Physical hardware booted from VHD All patching is performed offline
    23

    Deploying Services

    24

    Service Monitoring
    SDK component providing distributed monitoring & data collection for cloud apps Support Standard Diagnostics APIs
    Trace, Debug normally

    Manage multiple role instances centrally Scalable Choose what to collect & when to collect it
    Event Logs, Trace/Debug, Performance Counters, IIS Logs, Crash Dumps, Arbitrary log files
    25

    Design Considerations
    Scale and availability are the design points Storage isnt a relational database Stateless
    Stateless front ends, store state in storage

    Use queues to decouple components Instrument your application (Trace) Once you are on - stay on Think about patching & updates
