Cloud Platform Integration Framework
5/11/2018 Cloud Platform Integration Framework Functional Areas Architecture Deployment (Provisioning and Deprovisioning) Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Monitoring Maintenance Operations These functions (or “pillars”) of CPIF will be explained in more detail. By integrating these functions directly into workloads, ‘platforms’ can be developed which allow for further configuration by tenants to enable extended software services. Builds on the capabilities provided by hybrid cloud platform and management solution (Microsoft Azure, System Center and Windows Server) CPIF seeks to extend the operational and management functions to support managed cloud workloads

Typical Automation Scenarios
5/11/2018 Typical Automation Scenarios Patch Azure IaaS VMs without downtime, leveraging Traffic manager. Enable regeneration of storage account keys while avoiding downtime in the application. SQL Backup on a schedule. Backup and restore IaaS VMs. Patch / Update / Backup Orchestration Change Control & Provisioning Deploy a VM on an Azure / On-Premise cloud and enable monitoring for the VM. Deploy a new service to Azure and configure the end points for CPU and Memory alerts. Deploy application from Git, run validation tests, and swap to production if tests pass. Monitor SharePoint online for an approval to update a service and update the service once approved. Monitoring & Remediation Alert on a VM then turn on tracing, collect logs, upload to Azure Storage and make available in Visual Studio for troubleshooting. Monitor for when a new service gets created, and configure it for the right tracing / backup policy. Notify users of a subscription who have underutilized VMs and perform remediation. © 2014 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Azure Automation What? How?
5/11/2018 Azure Automation What? Orchestrate and automate time consuming repetitive tasks across multiple systems including systems external to Azure platform. Perform development, testing, deployment and management of automation resources from within azure environment. There is no need for on-perm installation and configuration of infrastructure components. How? Leverages PowerShell workflow Supports integration modules to connect to Azure & external systems Overall architecture & design of automation service stems out of SMA (Service Management Automation) © 2014 Microsoft Corporation.

Resource Modeling Model/Design resources before writing “any” code
Resource modeling should satisfy 4 basic principles: Identifiable: Uniquely and reliably identify resource instance (e.g. key) Expressible: State the desired state of the resource, independent of the control flow Testable: Accurately test if the resource is in desired state (Test-TargetResource) Enactable: Make changes that will converge actual state to the desired state (Set-TargetResource) General focus is about the end state, not the transient state

Modeling the Sub-System
Easier to model physical entity rather than logical entity Physical entity – Firewall Rule, Registry Logical entity – Domain, Cluster, SaaS Modeling logical entity that spans multi-machine Consider entity as a property of a resource vs. a resource E.g.: Cluster as a property of a node vs. a cluster resource that contain nodes Modeling SaaS as a logical entity Consider entity as a resource and service as the target node E.g.: AzureSQLServer is the resource, and Azure service as the target node Can have multiple resource that apply to same sub system E.g.: Firewall Rule and Firewall Profile

MOF-Based Resource Structure
Folder: <Module Name> Packaging Container DSC Resource Designer ages/xDSCResourceDesigner/ File: <Module Name.psd1> Module Manifest Folder: DSCResources Can contain multiple resources Folder: <Resource Name> Definition and implementation of a resource Folder: <Resource Name> Definition and implementation of a resource File: <Resource Name>.schema.mof Resource definition File: <Resource Name>.schema.mof Resource definition File: <Resource Name>.psm1 Resource implementation File: <Resource Name>.psm1 Resource implementation

Class-Based Resource Structure
Simpler to setup, manage and use MOF-Based Resource # of Folders = n+2 # of Files = 2n+1 Total # of Items = 3n+3 Class-Based Resource # of Folders = 1 # of Files = n+1 Total # of Items = n+2 Folder: <Module Name> Packaging Container File: <Module Name.psd1> Module Manifest File: <Resource Name>.psm1 Resource definition & implementation File: <Resource Name>.psm1 Resource definition & implementation

Composite Resource Configuration that acts as resource in other configurations Enables modeling of hierarchy of resources E.g.: Deploying SQL, Deploying VS, Creating HA DC Provides abstraction from the underlying building blocks Enables modelling of the sub system to appropriate level Enables code reuse Configuration parameters  Resource properties Placement is identical to simple resources Requires <ResourceName>.psd1 and <ResourceName>.schema.psm1 file In .psd1, RootModule = ‘<ResourceName>.schema.psm1’

Simple vs Composite Resource
