Intro to cloud computing and Azure

And in a non-Cloud view, there are inefficiencies in addressing those issues TIME IT CAPACITY Actual Load Allocated IT-capacities “Waste“ of capacities “Under-supply“ of capacities Fixed cost of IT-capacities Load Forecast Barrier for innovations

However, in a Cloud View Actual Load Allocated IT capacities Reduction of initial investments Reduction of “over-supply“ No “under-supply“ Possible reduction of IT-capacities in case of reduced load Time IT CAPACITY Load Forecast

Load Patterns Usage Compute Time Average Inactivity Period On & off workloads (e.g. batch job) Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome Compute Time Average Usage Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases Average Usage Compute Time Successful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge Cannot provision hardware fast enough Compute Time Services with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demand IT complexity and wasted capacity

Anatomy of a Windows Azure Cloud Service Worker Role Web Role Web Role

GOAL: SCALABLE, DURABLE STORAGE Windows Azure storage is an application managed by the Fabric Controller Windows Azure applications can use native storage or SQL Azure Application state is kept in storage services, so worker roles can replicate as needed Blobs: large, unstructured data (audio, video, etc) Tables: simply structured data, accessed using WCF Data Services Queues: serially accessed messages or requests, allowing web- roles and worker-roles to interact Storage in Windows Azure
