Editor's Notes
- #4 To put “customer experience” into perspective, here are some features that can make or break app experiences today. And the bar for what customers expect keeps moving as technology changes. Speed, personalization, and cross device are some of the examples of what end users expect of your apps today. --- Just like how customer experience have become critical to the success , your customers expectations have also increase Your customers have really high expectations. 1) They want to know them and be aware of their context and needs, make it easy to engage with your business whether they are looking to learn more about a product or service or buying from you. And do so in a way that is consistent where they are experiencing your business whether they are home at work on the go. And they want an experience that is fast - milliseconds not minutes is the new measure of wait times. and fast References: https://www.glassboxdigital.com/ 2) Accenture Global Consumer Pulse 2013 3) https://blog.kissmetrics.com/speed-is-a-killer/ 4) 29% said they are were less likely to buy products if they receive irrelevant marketing (1) Janrain and Blue Research (http://janrain.com/about/newsroom/press-releases/national-study-shows-consumers-abandon-brands-online-out-of-frustration-with-mistargeting/) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/dont-let-irrelevant-messaging-cause-your-customers_us_584eddf9e4b0151082221db6
- #5 It takes the right cloud, with all the right supporting services… --- For you to achieve these benefits you need an Open & Scalable Cloud Platform to scale up or down in line with your business needs, Data-driven Intelligence that you can weave in in every touchpoint you have with your customers and provide a personalized experience starting from initial engagement to retention, set of tools or services that set up your team to provide consistent cross-platform Experiences and drive continuous innovation. Especially, with public websites and apps, things change often so it is really important to have the platform support continuous innovation. Microsoft provides all of this as one integrated platform and in most regions so that you can bring data closer to your customers, with un-matched hybrid capabilities so that you can easily store and retrieve your data from either on-premises or from within cloud.
- #10 And if speed and standardization matter to you, or if your team is still developing cloud skillsets, our Platform as a Service is a great place to start.

- #73 <walk through pros/cons of each type of architecture> Most ASP.NET Websites, Web APIs and WCF services that are based on the .NET Framework for Windows can be hosted in App Service with minimal to no changes. Developers can move their existing .NET apps to the cloud first then look at refactoring and modernization to .NET Core. The cloud optimized (PaaS) option is what this deck will focus on. <Note: AKS – Azure Container Service for Kubernetes (the managed service) does not yet have Windows support, but it is coming soon.>
- #74 For .NET developers there are even more productivity benefits, particularly when developing apps with Visual Studio and Application Insights. This includes live production debugging via snapshots & snappoints, advanced telemetry with Application Insights, and team development with CI/CD and integration to VSTS. Benefits of App Service for .NET developers Application Insights Monitoring is a big part of App Modernization - understanding which features are the most used, which pages are the most visited or what is causing the most failures will help the development team to focus more on those elements. Application Insights is an extensible Application Performance Management (APM) service for web developers on multiple platforms. Use it to monitor your live web application. It will automatically detect performance anomalies. It includes powerful analytics tools to help you diagnose issues and to understand what users actually do with your app. Snapshot Debugger for .NET Debugging apps can be difficult specially if the app is running on production with Snapshot Debugger you can take a snapshot of your in-production apps when code that you're interested in executes. The debugger lets you see exactly what went wrong, without impacting traffic of your production application. The Snapshot Debugger can help you dramatically reduce the time it takes to resolve issues that occur in production environments. DevOps optimization Setting up a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) with Visual Studio Team Services, GitHub, BitBucket, Git, FTP, Dropbox or OneDrive have been never so easy. Azure App Services will setup the right configuration for your build definitions from your source control to your Azure App Service with the Build Provider. Automatic OS and .NET Framework patching Because you’re using a fully managed platform, you don’t manage your own infrastructure at all and benefit from automatic OS and framework patching. Site Staging Slots When you deploy to App Service, you can deploy to a separate deployment slot instead of the default production slot. This allows you to validate app changes in a staging environment before swapping it with the production slot. The traffic redirection is seamless, and no requests are dropped as a result of swap operations. This entire workflow can be automated. Global scale with high availability One of the most challenges things when we have to manage infrastructure is setting up the scalability needed for our apps. Business should run without systems failures no matter how can it grow. With App Services you can scale up or out, manually or automatically. Host your apps anywhere in Microsoft's global datacenter infrastructure, and the App Service SLA promises high availability. Security and compliance App Modernization requires security and compliance and Azure App Service provides ISO, SOC, and PCI compliant. We can choose to authenticate users with Azure Active Directory or with social login (Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Microsoft). Create IP address restrictions, manage service identities, add custom domains and SSL to your apps, as well backups you can create restorable archive copies of your apps content, configuration and database.
- #76 These are the three scenarios we’ll look at today in our demos. These are common monolithic and n-tier architectures for .NET Framework-based apps we see in businesses today. A 4th scenario is a Windows Desktop app connected to the WCF service. In this case, the WCF service & database (“middle-tier”) can move, and the desktop installer could be hosted in Azure storage or distributed via the Store (depending on what type of desktop app).
- #77 What’s next? Modernize applications with .NET Core Today we focused on Cloud-optimized .NET Framework apps. However, many applications will benefit from modern architecture built on .NET Core – a much faster, modular, cross-platform, open source .NET. Websites can be modernized with ASP.NET Core to bring in better security, compliance, and much better performance than ASP.NET on .NET Framework. .NET Core also provides code patterns for building resilient, high-performance microservices on Linux and Windows.
