1. Azure
Introducing:
Service Fabric and
Azure Service Fabric Mesh

CloudBrew - October 2018

2. What is Service Fabric?
Open Sourced technology from Microsoft
http://github.com/Microsoft/service-fabric
The platform that is used to run a lot of Azure
Resource providers to CosmosDB or Intune
Distributed systems platform
cluster technology
Data-aware platform
enables stateful distributed application without any central data store in the platform
Microservices platform
what it’s good at

4. When should you care about Service
Fabric?Key things to listen for which points to Service Fabric
Global service (ISVs, SaaS
providers)
Microservices architecture
IoT
Co-located data, persisted cache,
low-latency data access
Virtual Actor frameworks
Windows containers
.Net core services / Java services
Large scale orchestration of legacy
applications
Gaming

9. Reliable Collections
Co-located H/A storage available to your applications
Partitioning for horizontal scaling
Replaces external low-latency distributed key value stores

10. Reliable Collections
Data provider services
• High-value data
• Databases
• Volume stores
• Message buses
• Event stores
Applications
• Data that can be rehydrated
• Queues
• Caches
• Session state
• Checkpoints, snapshots, aggregates

11. Build cloud native applications on Service Fabric
• Any language, any framework
• Service Fabric Libraries for .NET Core and Spring
• Easy H/A state storage with Reliable Collections
• Intelligent traffic routing and connectivity

12. Modernize with Service Fabric
Run anything in containers or processes
Bring your own network to connect to other systems
No code changes required
Enhance with cloud-native applications

15. Application and Service Resources
Services describe how a set of containers run
• Container image, environment variables, CPU/Memory requirements, endpoints, etc.
• References to other resources, such as networks, volumes, and secrets.
• Applications are a group of services.

16. Open Network
(Internet)
Gateway and networks
Gateway connects two networks and routes traffic
• L4 routing: TCP
• L7 routing: HTTP(S)

17. Volume Resource
Service Fabric
Volume disk
General-purpose file storage
• Read and write files using normal disk I/O file APIs.
• Backed by Azure File storage or Service Fabric Volume disk

18. Secrets Resource
Inline or stored in Azure Key Vault
• Applications and service resources have Managed Service Identity (MSI) with AAD to be
able to access secrets in Azure Key Vault
• Secrets and certificates can be auto-rolled over with policies
