An overview of the Microsoft Azure platform, including Windows Azure and SQL Azure

1. Understanding Azure David Gristwood Application Architect, Microsoft blogs.msdn.com/david_gristwood

2. Why a Cloud Platform? Reduce capital & operations costs Simplify application deployment & management Simplify scaling to internet scale Cost effectively handle peak loads Focus on new functionality & not infrastructure

3. RNLI & Windows Azure www.aws.net/services/cloud-services/case-study

4. The Azure Philosophy

6. Builds on our existing on-line properties and services

7. Supports the “Scale Fast, Fail Fast” model to ride the peaks and troughswww.flickr.com/photos/januszbc/1776184496

9. Need high reliability

10. Have variable load

11. Have short or unpredictable lifetimehttp://www.flickr.com/photos/39919537@N06/3666813048/

13. Azure encourages you to define your application into constituent parts

14. Azure can scale the parts of your application as appropriatewww.flickr.com/photos/39818355@N00/2128626176

16. Cloud is not an “all or nothing” proposition

17. Azure makes it easier to extend to the cloudwww.flickr.com/photos/tomkpunkt/3695066577

19. Support for .NET, Ruby, PHP, Java

20. Interoperability with any platform, tools or technology www.flickr.com/photos/h19/2306213399/in/set-72157594224557858

56. Fault Domains

57. Lights-Out Service Management Create services at the developer portal Manage services programmatically using the Service Management API Use in combination with diagnostics API to build a feedback loop

58. Service Upgrade Models In-place rolling upgrade Role instances are spread over update domains Roles are updated one update domain at a time Service remains available during upgrade Real-time hot swap Swap service endpoints of old/new version Enables complex architectural changes Planned downtime Stop and replace service with new version

59. SQL Azure

60. 37 “SQL Server in the Cloud” Alternative to Windows Azure storage Focused on SQL Server core database services Accessed via TDS Supports a subset of T-SQL for SQL Server 2008 Limited to 1Gb or 10Gb database

62. Highly symmetrical

64. Symmetry w/ on-premises database platform

65. Automatic high-availability and fault-tolerance

66. Automated DB maintenance (infrastructure)
