21. Traditional machine-centric model
Distributed model
With multiple web applications, challenges for service providers
include:
Web Sites allocates a web application to a specific process (or
processes):




Increased load and management complexities
Security - Isolating stored data, authentication & authorization
mechanisms
Scaling - Auto-scaling platform compute, scaling platform storage
Provisioning tenant resources
Lack of support for multiple SSL web sites; applications have
affinity to single servers

Distributes load by allocating web applications to specific
processes
Enhances management by requiring no change to code for
existing applications
Provides a scalable and elastic resource pool capable of running
an arbitrary set of web applications
Provides multiple SSL Web sites that use unique server
certificates for HTTPS binding; applications are freed from affinity
to single servers

29. Windows Azure provides two platform services that accelerate
mobile development
Mobile Services supplies a scalable and secure backend for
mobile apps. With Mobile Services, it’s easy to store data in the
cloud, authenticate users, send push notifications, and add
business logic.
Notification Hubs is a broadcast push service that makes it easy
to send personalized push at scale with low latency from almost
any app backend.
