The document provides an overview of cloud computing and Microsoft's cloud offerings. It defines key cloud concepts like software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). It describes Microsoft services like Windows Azure, SQL Azure Database, and Microsoft Online Services. It also discusses Microsoft's vision for a continuum between private and public clouds.

16. The Internet Services Disruption The power of the advertising supported economic model. The effectiveness of a new delivery and adoption model. The demand for compelling, integrated user experiences that “just work”. Ray Ozzie, October 2005 http://www.scripting.com/disruption/ozzie/TheInternetServicesDisruptio.htm

17. The 5 Dimensions The cloud creates opportunities and responsibilities The cloud learns and helps you learn, decide and take action The cloud enhances your social and professional interactions The cloud wants smarter devices The cloud drives server advances that, in turn, drive the cloud http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/exec/steve/2010/03-04Cloud.mspx

25. Microsoft Online Customers. “We have chosen Microsoft Online Services because it promises to deliver a simple intuitive Information Workplace that should not only bring value to the company through simplification, but provide an improved user experience and ultimately create a more productive GSK” “In a five month timeframe, we migrated roughly 30,000 people, without impacting their business, without interrupting their day to day operations, to a hosted solution” Together with Microsoft, Aviva created a new knowledge-sharing and collaboration environment for its 54,000 employees with Microsoft Online Services. “We hit the overall goal in 142 days and helped Aviva achieve the deployment in around one half of the cost of the original budget”

37. Has to fit the service model Will It Run? Windows Non-admin user Copy to Deploy – no install General Approach Declare network requirements - Roles “Copy” your code to a compute node on startup - stateless Query for IPort information Create a process from a Worker Role What about existing code?

38. Example: Running a Java App Worker Role Process.Start() Worker .class Run() Worker .dll JRE .NET

39. Blobs Small to very large files Can be block (sequential) or page (random) Drives A page blob formatted as a fixed size vhd. Can be mounted on a compute instance readrite or read only CDN Content Distribution Network for blob storage Tables Partitioned, dynamic schema, entity sets Queues FIFO –like persisted storage for inter process communication All automatically managed by Windows Azure Windows Azure Storage
