4. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 Cloud Spectrum

5. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 Windows Azure Platform The Windows Azure platform is an internet-scale cloud computing services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers. Provides a range of functionality to build applications that span from consumer, Web to enterprise scenarios. Windows Azure Platform today includes Compute Storag e ManagementCDN Windows Azure Platform

6. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 Windows Azure Windows Azure is an OS for the data center – Model: Treat the data center as a machine – Handles resource management, provisioning, and monitoring – Manages application lifecycle – Allows developers to concentrate on business logic Provides shared pool of compute, disk and network – Virtualized storage, compute and network – Illusion of boundless resources Provides common building blocks for distributed applications – Reliable queuing, simple structured storage, SQL storage – Application services like access control and connectivity

7. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 Windows Azure Operating system as an online service; with automated provisioning and services management Compute – instance types: Web Role & Worker Role. Windows Azure applications are built with web role instances, worker role instances, or a combination of both. Each instance runs on its own VM (virtual machine), replicated as needed The Fabric Controller communicates with every server within the Fabric. It manages Windows Azure, monitors every application, decides where new applications should run – optimizing hardware utilization. Host VM Guest VM 1 Host VM Guest VM 3 Guest VM 2 Guest VM 1 Host VM Development, service hosting, & management environment –. NET, Java PHP, Python, Ruby, native code (C/C++, Win32, etc.) – ASP.NET providers, FastCGI, memcached, MySQL, Tomcat – Full-trust – supports standard languages and APIs – Secure certificate store – Management API’s, and logging and diagnostics systems Multiple roles – Web, Worker, Virtual Machine (VHD) Multiple VM sizes – 1.6 GHz CPU x64, 1.75GB RAM, 100Mbps network, 250GB volatile storage – Very-Small(.5X), Small (1X), Medium (2X), Large (4X), X-Large (8X) In-place rolling upgrades, organized by upgrade domains – Walk each upgrade domain one at a time Maintenance OS

8. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 SQL Azure Highly available, scalable, and consistent distributed relational database service; with geo-replication and geo-location of data Scalability and Availability: fabric, failover, replication, and load balancing VM 5 SQL Server SQL DB User DB1 User DB2 User DB3 User DB4 SQL Azure database provisioning (databases, accounts, roles, …, metering, and billing) VM 6 SQL Server SQL DB User DB1 User DB2 User DB3 User DB4 VM 4 SQL Server SQL DB User DB1 User DB2 User DB3 User DB4 Shared infrastructure at SQL database and below – Each user database is replicated to one or more servers (configurable based on SLA) – Client requests are routed to current “primary server” for read and write operations (based on SQL session) – Security, lockdown and isolation enforced in SQL tier Highly scalable and state-of-the-art HA technology – Automatic failure detection; client request re-routed to new primary on failure – High SLA guarantee using logical replication (hot standby replicas) – Automatic management, self-healing and load balancing across shared resource pool

9. virtual techdays INDIA │ 9-11 February 2011 Windows Azure App fabric Internet-scoped overlay-network bridging across IP NATs and firewalls with federated access control Service Bus – Expose RESTful or SOAP services over the internet through firewall and NAT boundaries – Communicate bi-directionally between apps and services in an interoperable manner – Choose relays, queues, routers, and other message patterns and types – Scale out naturally and reliably as apps and services grow Access Control – Integrate authorization into apps to control “what users are allowed to do” – Federate with multiple identity systems across organizations and ID providers – Easily apply fine-grained access control rules – Secure Service Bus communications – Scale out naturally and reliably as apps and services grow
