39. Problem Statement
Cloud
app
Cloud
app
Cloud
app
Separate username/password sign-in
Manual or semi-automated provisioning
No direct connection to directory AD
While enterprises working to consolidate identity system on-premises, cloud apps are fragmenting identity… again

40. History of Azure Active Directory
Exchange
Online
Active Directory revised to operate as Internet-scale multi-tenant identity service, built concurrently with Office 365
Extends Windows Server Active Directory into cloud
Provides cloud-based identity services for organizations without Windows Server AD

44. What is Windows Azure Caching?
A distributed, in-memory, flexible cache for all data types that can be used to speed up Windows Azure applications and reduce database load.
Windows Azure
Caching
Basically, caching helps your app become faster.

45. Flavors of in-memory caching from Microsoft
Microsoft AppFabric v1.1 for Windows Server
Latest version released in Dec 2011
on premise
Windows Azure Shared Caching
In production today
cloud
Windows Azure Caching (Preview)
Introduced with Windows Azure SDK June 2012

46. Challenges with Azure’s Caching Service
Better quota management
Relax the limits and warn me before I cross them
What if there were no cache quotas at all?
Flexibility, control, isolation
Make the service less of a black box
What if you had control over cache like your app?
Larger caches
Give me caches bigger than 4GB
How about hundreds of GB of cache?
Lower cost
Cache should be cheaper than $45/mo for 128MB
What if you didn’t pay a premium for cache?
No compromises with perf
Hold the bar
How about reducing latency by more than half?

47. Windows Azure Dedicated Caching
New model of caching on Windows Azure where…
Cache is a part of your app
Cache is deployed on regular web and worker roles
Cache lives inside your cloud service
Cache is scaled, managed and monitored just like your app

48. How is the new caching model different?
Web Role
Cache 4.

\ref\CachingPreview
\ref\Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll 1.
Cache cluster lives inside your cloud service
Cache is added to a web/worker role
Cache is packaged with your app
Caching server bits are delivered via the SDK

49. Benefits of the new caching model
No cache quotas or throttling
Your application is the only consumer of cache. Use as much cache as your app needs, only limited by physical capacity.
Isolation, Flexibility & Control
Co-located and dedicated topologies allow you maximize your resources. You have as much control over cache as you do over your own application.
Lower cost
Pay no premium for cache. Pay only for the web/worker roles on which cache runs. In co-located, you’ve already paid for the role!

50. Benefits of the new caching model
Easy to scale
Scale cache just like you scale your app. Scale up, scale out, as often as you want. Bigger caches – 100+ GB.
Great development experience
Integrated Visual Studio experience to make it easy to add cache to your app. Full fidelity devfabric experience for debugging your application before deployment.
Support for memcache
Support for the memcache binary and text protocols for easy migration of memcache-based applications to Windows Azure.

51. Benefits of the new caching model
Feature rich
Named Caches
Regions & Tags
High Availability
Local cache with notifications
API symmetry with AppFabric Server
Improved Performance
The bread and butter of caching - latencies that are 4x faster than Windows Azure Shared Caching.

Co-located deployment
Use the spare resources on your existing instances for caching
Scale cache with your app
The compute resources have already been paid for
Cache
Cache

54. Support for the memcache protocol
Open and Flexible
Windows Azure Caching (Preview) supports the memcache binary and text protocols and can be used with the dedicated and co-located deployments
Bring your existing memcache-based application to Windows Azure!
Existing .NET, Java, PHP, Node.js applications using memcache can migrate to Windows Azure easily with no changes to the caching code
Better than memcached
Take advantage of features like resiliency, local cache, Visual Studio and portal integration
