26. Service Request App Data Timeouts? App Increased likelihood of timeouts Cloud based application Service Request App Data App Consistent, reliable connectivity and access On premises application Yes No Yes No Tried 5 times? Connection Successful? Try to connect Continue doing work Fail

29. TIP: There is a new code library for all this!

No cross Database transactions Consistency Model Transactionally Consistent ConcurrencySingle Optimistic Concurrency Strategy Full range of isolation and concurrency models as supported by RDBMS

38. FeatureAzure TableSQL Azure Data AccessREST API, ADO.NET, Client Library SDK Standard tools and APIs apply SSMS, Visual Studio, ADO.NET, ODBC Column TypesBasic TypesUsual SQL Server Data Types PortabilityData portability coming with Windows Azure Appliance Data in SQL Azure similar to SQL Server - Easy migration in and out of the cloud - Use multi stream transfer to mitigate network latency. Queries Upto 1000 entities [token pagination] Beyond 5 sec – return continuation token Queries by partition & row key are fast No Custom Indexes Today Non key queries are scans Query capabilities as per standard SQL Server database expectations Offer Server Side Processing through Stored Procedures and Complex Queries (Aggregation, Joins, Sorts, Filters, etc.)

39. A traditional set of data that is traditionally stored on the local environment is configuration and user settings. Commonly this is stored in the registry, xml or ini files. OptionsBest Case Usage Blob storageConfiguration file that is read only once during app load SQL databaseUsed in environments where a SQL database already exists Windows Azure tableUser settings that may be changed externally from the environment
