The document discusses Windows Azure AppFabric, which is a middleware platform for building and connecting cloud applications. It provides several services including caching, access control, application management, and service bus. The service bus allows for reliable messaging between applications across networks through features like queues and topics. It also enables hybrid cloud/on-premise messaging. The presentation provides demos of these AppFabric services and how they can be used to integrate applications and connect cloud and on-premise systems through reliable and secure messaging.

23. Windows Azure AppFabric Cache
• A distributed, in-memory cache for apps running in Azure:
– In-memory cache located near your Azure applications
– Based on Windows Server AppFabric Caching
• Benefits:
– Highly scalable with low latency and high throughput
– Can dynamically increase and decrease as needed, without redeploying
or modifying your application
– User doesn’t have to bother with configuration, deployment, or
management of their cache infrastructure

24. Key Capabilities & Benefits
Web Role
• Easily integrates into existing apps Local Cache
– Cache-Aside Model
– One API for Server and Cloud Output
– ASP.NET Session State Provider Sessions
– ASP.NET Page Output Caching Provider Reference
Data
• Very low latency with Local Cache Activity Data
• Caches any serializable CLR object Resource
– No serialization costs for local caching Data
• Secured w/ Access Control Service
DB

30. Queues!
P Queue C
• Reliable, durable storage – up to 1GB per Queue*
• Queues stay in the system once created, no TTL limit
• Max message size 256KB, Sessions allow grouping
• Messaging API, WCF, and HTTP/REST Interfaces

31. My Queue runs in the cloud. How about yours?

S C
• All the Features of Queues + Publish/Subscribe
• Up to 2000 Subscriptions on a Topic
• Each Subscription is a virtual queue getting message copies
• Subscriptions can have filters and actions

33. We have “Topics” in the cloud. Do you?
