Azure makes substantial infrastructure capabilities available to you with just a click of a mouse, but this isn't the virtualization stack you are used to. HOSTING VP of Product Sean Brunton, will discuss the gotchas and nuances of the current Azure compute services to help you find success for production applications on Azure

5. Typical Virtualized Production Environment (Private Cloud)
H O S T I N G U N I F I E D C L O U D > A Z U R E : B E Y O N D T E S T / D E V
Primary storage Backup
Clustered compute nodes
Typical enterprise architecture
Noisy Neighbor?
Workloads rebalance automatically to
ensure everyone gets their
Hard drive failure?
SAN protects data and performance
Server failure?
VM immediately boots back up on another
node
Need more resources?
You can resize online, immediately

6. Virtualized Environment (Typical IaaS Provider)
H O S T I N G U N I F I E D C L O U D > A Z U R E : B E Y O N D T E S T / D E V
Stand alone compute nodes
Typical IaaS architecture
Local storage
Noisy Neighbor?
You’re stuck with them unless you rebuild
on another host
Hard drive failure?
You’re down and potentially have lost data
Server failure?
You’ll have to boot up from a previous
snapshot stored on cloud storage, if you
have one, and you’ll lost data
Need more resources?
Only if your host has them free

7. Private Cloud vs Public Cloud
H O S T I N G U N I F I E D C L O U D > A Z U R E : B E Y O N D T E S T / D E V
Primary storage Backup
Clustered compute nodes
Typical enterprise architecture
provides very high assurance of
uptime to individual VMs
Stand alone compute nodes
Typical IaaS architecture
requires you to buy two of everything
and write your application to sustain
the failure of any component at any
time
Local storage

8. Azure VM SLA: Only across redundant pairs
H O S T I N G U N I F I E D C L O U D > A Z U R E : B E Y O N D T E S T / D E V
Availability is your responsibility
No SLA unless you
buy two of everything
