Udai introduces Service Fabric Mesh, a new managed service from Microsoft for deploying containerized microservices applications. Some key points about SF Mesh: it focuses on the application rather than infrastructure; provides a fully managed cluster; applications can be deployed from CI/CD pipelines; and it includes auto-scaling and blue/green deployments. The presentation provides an overview of SF Mesh and its resource model, how it works, things to know in preview, and a demo of deploying an application using the CLI commands.

4. Agenda
• Introduction to Service Fabric (SF)
• SF Environments
• Service Fabric Mesh
• SF Mesh Resource Model
• How does it work?
• Things to Know
• Demo
• References

5. Service Fabric (SF)
• Cluster (network connected set of VMs or Physical Servers)
• Application platform for building Microservices
• Native programming model
• Reliable Actors, Reliable Services
• Containers, ASP.NET CORE, GUEST EXECUTABLE
• Microsoft Products
• Azure DocumentDB, Intune, Skype for Business, Bing Cortana, Azure Event Hubs, Azure SQL
Database
• Cluster Security (enabled at cluster creation time)
• Stateless and Stateful support
• State and Application life cycle management with monitoring

6. SF Environments
• Service Fabric Mesh
• Azure Service Fabric
• Service Fabric standalone
• Service Fabric Development cluster

7. SF Mesh
• Focus on application not the infrastructure like PaaS
• Fully managed cluster (code named Seabreeze)
• Application platform use of container
• Actors and Reliable Collections will be exposed part of mesh
• Per Second Billing for AKS/ACS/Mesh
• Ability to deploy from CICD
• Auto Scaling
• Blue/Green deployments
• Serverless notion

8. SF Resource Model
• Application
• Service
• Code Package (Containers)
• Network
• Routes
• Gateway
• Secrets
• Volume (Azure File Storage Vs Reliable Disk)

10. Things to know in Preview
• Quota
• Number of applications: 5
• Cores per application: 12
• Total RAM per application: 48 GB
• Network and Ingress end points: 5
• Azure Volumes that you can attach: 10
• Number of Service replicas: 3
• The largest container you can deploy is limited to 4 cores and 16GB RAM.
• You can allocate partial cores to your containers in increments of 0.5 cores, up to a maximum of
6 cores.
• Services can run continuously 48 hours after that it will be shutdown
• HNA failed with error

11. Key Commands to Deploy App
1. az login
2. az account set --subscription "<subscriptionName>"
3. az acr repository list --name <ACR-NAME>
4. docker build -t <SERVICENAME> .
5. docker tag <SERVICENAME> <ACR-NAME>.azurecr.io/<SERVICENAME>:1.0
6. az acr login -n <ACR-NAME>
7. docker push <ACR-NAME>.azurecr.io/<SERVICENAME>:1.0
8. az mesh deployment create --resource-group <RESOURCEGROUPNAME> --template-file
c:tempmesh_rp.windows.json --parameters c:tempmesh_rp.windows.parameters.json
9. az mesh gateway show --resource-group <RESOURCEGROUPNAME> --name
<GATEWAYNAME>
10. az mesh app show --resource-group <RESOURCEGROUPNAME> --name <SFAPPNAME>
11. az mesh code-package-log get --resource-group <RESOURCEGROUPNAME> --application-
name <SFAPPNAME> --service-name <SERVICENAME> --replica-name 0 --code-package-
name <CODEPACKAGENAME>
