6. Azure Serverless – Compute
 Elastically provision pods inside Azure Container
Instances (ACI)
 AKS virtual Node built on top of open source virtual
Kubelet project
 KEDA – Add event-driven capabilities by processing
events from event sources with ability to scale to
zero
 Event-driven compute with support for multiple
languages (C#, Java, Python, JavaScript, PowerShell)
 Pay only for the time code is executed
 Functions runtime is open-source
 Deploy on Kubernetes, Azure IoT Edge, on-prem
and also in other clouds
 Run and scale web, mobile and API applications
 High productivity, fully managed environment

11. Azure Functions – Triggers & Bindings
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-triggers-bindings

12. Azure Serverless – Workflows and Integrations
 Integrate data and apps between disparate systems
 Visual Workflows – Logic Apps
 Use APIs, serverless functions, out-of-the-box SaaS
connectors
 Publish, secure, transform, manage APIs
 Fully managed service
 Event-based applications – Azure Event Grid
 Distributed & scalable cloud solutions across private
and public cloud – Azure Service Bus

13. Demo 2
Azure Logic Apps – email Autoreply

15. Azure Serverless – AI & ML
 Enables apps to see, hear, speak, understand and
interpret user needs through natural methods of
communication – Azure Cognitive Services
 Use APIs, or deploy using containers on Kubernetes
 Intelligent bots – Azure Bot Service
 Interact naturally using channels (text / SMS, Skype,
Microsoft Teams, Slack, Office 365, Twitter etc.)
 Build, train, deploy models on Azure Machine
Learning
 Supports cloud as well as edge

16. Azure Serverless – Databases
 Optimize price-performance, simplify performance
management
 Automatically scale compute based on workload
demand
 Pay only for compute used per second
 Automatically pause database, pay only for storage
during inactive period
 Automatically updated, built-in high availability,
security & performance with ML
 Globally distributed, massively scalable, multi-model
database service

17. Demo 3
Azure SQL Database – serverless database

18. Azure Serverless – Storage
 Static web applications on Azure Blob storage
 Massively scalable storage for unstructured data
 Leverage storage events to respond to operations
on blobs
 Push blob events through Event Grid to subscribers
using Functions, Logic Apps, or custom HTTP
Listerner

19. Azure Serverless – Monitoring and Analytics
 Azure Monitor – extensible application performance
management service to monitor applications
 Collect, analyze and act on telemetry from cloud and
on-premise environments
 Maximize availability and performance of apps
 Azure Stream Analytics - Massively parallel real-time
analytics on multiple streams of data
 Process data on demand, scale instantly, pay per job
 Integrates with Power BI for real time dashboards
