Auckland Connected Systems User Group presentation about leveraging BizTalk Server as a gateway to hybrid integration with Azure.

1. Wagner Silveira
Principal Integration – Theta
Azure MVP
Hybrid Integration &
BizTalk Server

2. Agenda
•Azure and Hybrid integration
•Why BizTalk + Azure?
•Hybrid Integration Options
•Adapters
•Scenarios
•Design considerations
•Take aways

3. Azure and
Hybrid
Integration

4. Azure Hybrid
Integration,
what is this?

5. Too Many Options
•Network based
•Relay based
•Message based
•Event based
•Synchronous
•Assyncronous

6. Focus…

7. Why
BizTalk +
Azure?

8. What BizTalk brings
to Hybrid Integration
• On-premises adapters
• Azure adapters
• Separation of concerns
• Availability
• For existing users
• Leverage investment
• Continuity

9. BizTalk Hybrid
integration options
To the cloud and back again

10. Connecting to Azure
• Service Bus
• Azure WCF Relay
• App Services / API Management
• Logic Apps

11. Service bus – SB-
Messaging
• Inbound and Outbound (One Way)
• Queues and Topics
• Security – ACS and SAS
• Send | Listen permissions
• Properties Propagation
• Custom property schema

12. Scenarios
• Async workflows
• Unreliable connectivity
• Throttling
• Multicasting

13. WCF Relay – WCF-BasicHttpRelay
• Inbound and Outbound (Two Way)
• Expose and Consume WCF Services
• Based on dynamic Relays
• Primed for XML
• “Binary” format for others
• Security – ACS and SAS
• Send | Listen permissions
• End-point security
• Anonymous | RelayAccessToken

14. REST Support – WCF-WebHTTP
(Inbound)
• Exposes REST Services
• One or Two Way
• Support multiple formats
• Requires Inbound Access
• Network changes
• Hybrid Connection
• Path to Properties Mapping
• Define Outbound Headers

15. REST Support – WCF-WebHTTP
(OUTBOUND)
• Consumes REST Services
• One or Two Way
• Usually no network changes
• Dynamic Path
• Define Outbound Headers

16. Scenarios
• Inbound
• Real time communication
• Expose Legacy/bespoke applications
• Minimize surface area
• Simplify integration
• Outbound
• Leverage public APIs
• Shift compute to the cloud

17. Logic Apps – LogicApps Adapter
• Inbound and Outbound (One or Two Way)
• Extend workflows (inbound and outbound)
• Usually no network changes for Outbound
• Requires Inbound Access
• Network changes
• On-premises data gateway

18. Scenarios
• BizTalk  Logic Apps
• SaaS integration
• On Demand Scale
• Logic Apps  BizTalk
• Secure internal systems
• Pre-validate messages
• Leverage on-prem connectors
• Expose Legacy/Bespoke systems

19. Hands on Time?

Sample Use Case

22. With great choices
Comes great responsibility

23. Not everything is a nail
• Know your tools
• Understand sweet spots
• Understand when to avoid
• Mix, match, experiment.

24. Price is a new dimension
• Understand the benefits
• Development x Operation
• Shortcuts will cost

25. Take aways

26. Many ways to integrate

27. Mix and Match, Experiment

28. Find the balance

29. BizTalk +
Azure
