About Me

SharePoint Cloud Story

 Scale up/down as demand grows/shrinks  It must be secure and supported  Simply consume the service  Easily manage costs, pay for what I use  Running latest versions  99.9% uptime  Flexibility and Choice  Single Sign on  Easy to understand SLAs  Spin up multiple environments quickly (Dev, UAT..) Cloud Goals

 SharePoint is now “Cloud” ready  Scale up/out/down – elasticity  99.9% uptime is achievable  Office365 vs. Azure vs. AWS vs. Private cloud  SaaS vs. IaaS  SharePoint roles/tiers suit cloud deployments  Patching is still fun  Provision in hours not days  Billing is easy to manage. Pay by the hour/month  Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster SharePoint Cloud Story

SharePoint Cloud Options

 You own and run the farm i.e. patching etc.  Can take time to build environment(s) – weeks, days, hours  Usually pre-built for you or templated  Must plan for HA/DR (RPO, RTO)  Single or Multiple datacentres but $$$$  Check SLAs (99.9%?)  Requires dedicated staff – ongoing maintenance  Run full trust code, timer jobs etc  Get familiar with hourly billing model SharePoint On-Prem or Private Cloud

SharePoint IaaS (Azure or AWS) Plan and build the environment AWS is in Aust. Azure coming very soon ;-) You own and run the farm..patching etc. HA/DR – Select Azure Region/AZ Pay for what you use - VM size, storage, network etc Usually 99.9% uptime if more than 1 VM per zone/AZ Similar to hosted model but you have more control PAYG Utility computing – simple billing Fast provisioning in under 3 hours Don’t forget monitoring Pretty much do anything you want Full trust code, timer jobs, patching IOPS, Disk performance, VM sizes

SharePoint on AWS (Amazon EC2) CloudFormation template to automate deployment Completely scripted and replayable stack Very secure and resilient deployment AWS ELB to load balance across EC2 instances Secure RDP access to EC2 instances Public/private subnets secure network Secure networking via ACLS and VPC security groups SSD backed EC2 Instances with persistent storage EBS SSD - 3 IOPS/GB and burstable 3,000 IOPS Max. EBS Provisioned IOPS - 30 IOPS/GB – 4,000 IOPS (Max. sustained)

SharePoint on Microsoft Azure (IaaS) ResourceManager and PowerShell DSC to “script” deployment New “D” series VMs with ephemeral SSD storage New Azure portal creates SP farm Resource Groups to “contain” and manage the stack Attached VHD Max disk performance: 500 IOPS per disk Provisioned IOPS are coming Office Web Apps not supported as yet

SharePoint on Microsoft Azure (IaaS)..Cont Name Cores Memory (GB) Local SSD Size (GB) Local SSD Max IOPS Local SSD Max Read MB/s Local SSD Max Write MB/s Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , Standard_D , New Azure D-Series VM - Specs

SharePoint Online (SaaS) Choose where to provision the O365 tenant DirSync and ADFS required for Single Sign On Nothing to patch, run or maintain! 99.9% uptime Virtually unlimited storage 1TB per Site Collection 1TB OneDrive for Business No server side or full trust code allowed!! Easy to maintain and manage Limited PowerShell support (Get-SPOSite etc) Reference: limits-HA aspx

SharePoint Online/Hybrid When you need to maintain an on-premises environment for security reasons Main use cases: Hybrid Search SAP/Duet (Must be Hybrid) Line Of Business Systems Useful for the “data sovereignty” conversation Can use Azure or AWS for “on premises”
