Editor's Notes
What is Azure?
It’s IaaS + PaaS
Azure is the only major cloud platform ranked by Gartner as an industry leader for both infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and platform-as-a-service (PaaS). This powerful combination of managed and unmanaged services lets you build, deploy, and manage applications any way you like for unmatched productivity.
It’s hybrid ready
Some cloud providers make you choose between your datacenter and the public cloud. Not Azure. Its enterprise-proven hybrid cloud solutions give you the best of both worlds, expanding your IT options without added complexity. With Azure, data storage, backup, and recovery become more efficient and economical. It’s also easier to build applications that span both on-premises and the cloud.
It’s open and flexible
Azure supports any operating system, language, tool, and framework— from Windows to Linux, SQL Server to Oracle, C# to Java. It puts the best of Windows and Linux ecosystems at your fingertips, so you can build great applications and services that work with every device.
It’s always up, always on (enterprise grade)
You’ll share the same enterprise-tested platform that powers Skype, Office 365, Bing, and Xbox. Azure offers a 99.95% availability SLA, 24x7 tech support, and round-the-clock service health monitoring. That’s why more than 57% of Fortune 500 companies rely on Azure today. From live streaming Olympic events to online multiplayer online games, our customers are doing some amazing things.
It’s economical and scalable
Azure can quickly scale up or down to match demand, so you only pay for what you use. Per-minute billing and a commitment to match competitor prices for popular infrastructure services like compute, storage and bandwidth means you’re always getting unbeatable price for performance.
It’s everywhere (has hyper-scale)
Azure runs on a growing global network of Microsoft-managed datacenters across 19 regions, giving you a wide range of options for running applications and ensuring your customers always get great performance. Azure is the first multinational cloud provider in mainland China and is continuing to expand to new regions around the globe.
So, what is Azure Search?
Azure Search is a fully-managed search solution that allows developers to enable search in web and mobile applications by embedding a sophisticated search experience into these applications without having to worry about the complexities of full-text search and without having to deploy, maintain or manage any infrastructure.
There are three main points to Azure Search.
First, Azure Search enables developers to Surface their application’s data – We provide all the features you would expect from sophisticated search solutions and provide reliable guaranteed performance on top of that. The tunable ranking models built into Search allow developers to tie search results to their business objectives by promoting results that they want to show up. For example, if you have an ecommerce site, you would want high margin items to come up higher in the search results than low margin items.
Second, Azure Search reduces complexity. It’s a fully managed service so we’re removing the need to worry about corrupt indexes, managing and upgrading hardware, and scaling out. You can easily scale out Azure Search to handle additional storage or throughput when that’s called for by business conditions such as during peak shopping season or if your app is featured in the news and traffic increases dramatically.
Third, Azure Search allows developers to move quickly with confidence. As the name implies, Azure Search runs on Azure. It’s available in the new Preview Portal which is all about being able to get up and running quickly and having lots of complementary services nearby. Also, you control Search using an API which makes it easy and familiar to manage.
These benefits all support the claim that Azure Search is perfect for enterprise cloud developers, cloud software vendors, and cloud architects who need a fully-managed search solution.
<Alternate slide with no animation>
Here’s a simplified snapshot of the whole solution, from storing and managing data, to business users accessing results and making decisions. If you already have a Microsoft Azure subscription or data in the cloud – especially in HDInsight – you are more than halfway there to realizing the benefit of this solution.
Let’s start in the bottom left with the Azure Portal.
The Azure ops team, maybe already accustomed to managing storage accounts or provisioning Azure virtual machines, can get a machine learning environment set up right from the Azure Portal. They can:
Create an ML Studio workspace and dedicated storage account to get their data scientists up and running
Monitor ML consumption to keep track of expenses
See alerts when a model is ready to be published
And deploy models as web services with the ML API Service
Now, moving right, to the ML Studio experience. This where the data scientist will spend her time:
She can execute every step in the data science workflow in one place – ML Studio
She can access and prepare data
Create, test and train models, as well as import her company’s proprietary models securely into her private workspace
Work with R and over 300 of the most popular R packages along with Microsoft’s business class algorithms
Collaborate with colleagues within the office or across the globe as easy as clicking “share my workspace”
Deploy models within minutes rather than weeks or months
And the data scientist has her choice of what data she wants to pull into her models. She can access data already in Azure, query across Big Data in HDInsight, or pull datasets in right from her desktop.
Once the data scientist is ready to publish, that’s when tested models become available to developers via the API service. The business users can access results, from anywhere, on any device. And any model updates simply refresh the model in production with no new development work needed.
Of course Azure SQL DB is somewhere under the covers, SQLServer. This picture illustrates where SQLServer actually lives. Of course there are a number of services build around this that really add value to the picture and deliver those cloud principles (Scale, Elasticity, Self-Service, Resilience etc.). You don’t need to explain all the layers – the point is they are there and actually that in “traditional” IT world, many/most of these functions in the picture are done by people, by IT Pro’s and DBA’s, worrying about how to get dtaabases proivisioned, keep the running, change them, fix them when broken etc.
Click: The other interesting thing about this picture is that when you provision a DB for your app (which you can do in about 6 seconds), the app actually get’s three “virtual” databases and one logical database that it interacts with (click). Each of the three database is located within Windows Azure in Fault Domains – a unit of computers all with redundant hardware, racks, switches etc. There is a “Primary” and two secondaries. Windows Azure is responsible for all the consistency and integrity of the three databases and completely automated will recover from failures and ensure balance of primaries and secondaries across physical nodes.
All you need to do is provision a database, say how big you want it, upload your schema and data, then start using it. EVERYTHING else is taken care of for you. AND you only pay for the actual data you are storing in the database (calculated on a daily basis).
Contrast this picture against doing your own thing in Azure Virtual Machines with SQLServer (or any other database for that matter) AND of course having to provide the same level of resilience.
So what is DocumentDB?
DocumentDB is a NoSQL document database-as-a-service, fully managed by Microsoft Azure.
It is for cloud-designed apps when query over schema-free data; reliable and predictable performance; and rapid development are key. It’s the first of its kind database service to offer native support for JavaScript, SQL query and transactions over schema-free JSON documents.
The key benefits of DocDB can be broken down into three pillars. We'll go into a bit more detail into how DocDB is differentiated in the market based on these pillars.
Rich query and transaction over schema-free data – which includes the concepts of query, automatic indexing, transactions, sql-like query language
Reliable and Predictable Peformance – built for the cloud, tunable consistency, elastic
Rapid Development – benefits of being part of Azure, build with familiar tools (so you can bring your JSON data and take it away)
Together, you have a service that is perfect for cloud architects and developers who need an enterprise-ready NoSQL document database.
With the addition of DocumentDB, here is how the chart looks. You can see how DocumentDB bridges the left and right sides of the chart. Its a database that is fully managed, has elastic scale, is queryable, supports transactions, and easily accessible – all over a schema-free JSON data model and with native JavaScript support.
Instead of storing data in tables, DocDB stores data in JSON documents. Because of the deep commitment and integration of JavaScript and the close knit relationship between JSON and JacaScript, JavaScript is to DocDB as T-SQL is to SQL Server.
You could include Hbase in HDInsight, which is a NoSQL column store, and some of the NoSQL options available in the Azure store on this chart, but today we’re focused on DocumentDB so the goal here is to provide the context for DocDB within what’s already well established on Azure. There are a good number of NoSQL database and more specifically document databases available in the market today such as Mongo, Cassandra, Raven, Couch, Dynamo, Datastore, and others. There’s a battlecard that compares DocDB to some of the more common competitors you’re likely to come up against that will be published on Infopedia. But, we’re not going to specifically go deep on compete today.
