17. But I Can’t Use SQL Azure! Let’s say for security reasons…

18. Hybrid Windows Azure Model Your applications can be Entirely On-Premises Entirely in the Cloud Both in the Cloud and On-Premises

19. Hybrid Windows Azure Model Cloud On-premises Windows Azure Connect

20. Windows Azure Connect demo

21. Windows Azure Connect Secure connectivity Super simple setup Active Directory support

22. But I Need Customizations! Configure Windows, Install Applications, etc…

23. Admin Mode & Startup Tasks Execute BAT and PowerShell scripts Configure Windows Server and IIS Install additional software Update registry keys

24. “PING in the Cloud” demo

25. Admin Mode & Startup Tasks <WebRolename="WorkerRole1"> <Startup> <Taskcommandline="relativeathoSetupExecutable" executionContext="limited|elevated" taskType="simple|foreground|background"/> </Startup> </WebRole>

26. Let’s Have Some FUN! And give away some prizes for…

27. Yell “I LOVE Windows Azure” I told you my talks are a little bit crazy…

28. OK, Let’s Continue…

29. But <your excuse here> … and Startup Tasks can’t help you

30. VM Role Worker Role – role is an executable Web Role – role is hosted on IIS VM Role – role is the virtual machine Admin Web / Worker Role VM Role Web / Worker Role Abstraction Control

35. VM Role Ability to upload customized Windows Server x64 2008 R2 Enterprise image You are now responsible for patching and maintenance OS image is not durable (yet)

36. VM Role It’s NOT an Infrastructure as a Service! Windows Azure does automate many management tasks

37. Recap: Moving Apps to the Cloud It’s really easier than you thought, isn’t it?

38. Moving Applications to the Cloud Use Remote Desktop for easier diagnostics Use Azure Connect to interconnect cloud and on-premise applications Use Admin Mode and Startup Tasks to customize Windows and install software Use VM Role to migrate legacy and native applications
