7. What service degradation ?
• Hm, sometimes it happenes
• Create ticker at our tech support every time when
you see any issues
• Contact Micrsoft rep ( it’s me in CEE!! ) to get 1-1
info
• Service dashboard is always available windowsazurestatus.com/
• Use multi-geo architecture design and
TrafficManager to route traffic on DNS level

8. What about latency ?
Europe is very well-covered, even
Russia ( up to Ural )

11. Microsoft + Java
• Great Java
experience on
Windows Server
and Windows
Azure
• Windows Azure
plug-in for
Eclipse with
Java

12. We have changed as a
company and have
become more OPEN

13. So getting back to real life, what do we
have :

14. And also don’t forget about nice things
in our pocket

15. SQL Azure :

16. And yes, now we have:
 Oracle are officially supported their DB in
Azure
 Disk drives in VMs is now better
 Windows desktop apps hosting scenario
is supported
 Good discounts for enterprise
 VM Depot with a lot of vm images based
on linux

17. And finally we have autoscaling
 Now is part of platform
 Watches CPU or Azure Queues
 For more custom settings
use Wasabi library -
ou.gs/wasabi

19. So how our PaaS works ?

20. ServiceDefinition.csdef
<ServiceDefinition name="MyService"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition"
> <WebRole name="WebRole1">
<Startup>
<Task commandLine="Startup.cmd" executionContext="limited"
taskType="simple">
</Task>
</Startup>
</WebRole> </ServiceDefinition>

21. So now we can do interesting things!
 We can modify
WorkerRole1approotstartup.cmd
 For example we donwnload tomcat and install
this, but also we can do git clone or svn co so RUN JAVA, RUN!
cscript /B /Nologo %APPROOT%utilunzip.vbs apache-tomcat-6.0.32-windows-x86.zip %APPROOT%
cscript "utildownload.vbs" "http://tcontepub.blob.core.windows.net/packages/jre6.zip"
cscript /B /Nologo %APPROOT%utilunzip.vbs jre6.zip %APPROOT%
copy %APPROOT%foo.war %APPROOT%apache-tomcat-6.0.32webapps
cd %APPROOT%apache-tomcat-6.0.32bin
set JRE_HOME=%APPROOT%jre6

22. Let go to Java world!
You can develop on using Eclipse
(on Windows )
You may use ANT to build/deploy
Startup. Cmd is always option to
configure all things
Not like Windows-based PaaS –
here’s Linux with REST API to
manage VMs ( and then root ssh

23. If Java, why Oracle ?
We have option called ZULU!

24. Enjoy Zulu java!
Zulu – OpenJDK port ( by Azul ) for
Windows Azure
 ISV-friendly binary licensing for easy embedding
with 3rd party applications ( GPL v2 )
 Looks like Azul will support it and open to
collaboration with community
Check it out: ou.gs/azul

25. Your own linux in Azure ?
Yes,if HyperV supports this
What you need is to add Linux agent to
your disto.
Linux agent responsible for interacting
with Windows Azure Fabric Controller
Sources: ou.gs/wa_linux
Manual: ou.gs/agent

26. CodePlex.com – good place for open
source
 Supported: TFS, git, mercurial, svn
 Have wiki, issue tracker, forums
 >300к active contibutors
 28 000 projects

27. Open source frameworks
 SDK for PHP: phpazure.codeplex.com
 Ruby on Rails SDK: rubyonrailsinazure.codeplex.com
 DNN - DotNetNuke CMS: dotnetnuke.codeplex.com
 Lucene.NET (use blobs ): azuredirectory.codeplex.com
 Python for Visual Studio: pytools.codeplex.com
 ASP.NET web stack (MVC, Web API ):
aspnetwebstack.codeplex.com

28. Cloud Ninja: cloudninja.codeplex.com
 Open source - multi-tenant app
 You base your app on these code
 Metering ( including storage inboud/outbound bandwith usage, and billable
transactions )
 Automated Scaling
 Federated Identity




Storage Analytics
Authorization via ACS
Provisioning
Metering Charts

29. github.com/WindowsAzur
e
SDK inside :
 .NET SDK
 Java SDK
 Node.js
 PHP
 Python
 Ruby
 Mobile Services – IOS, Android, Windows Phone, JavaScript, WindowsStore
 PowerShell and node.js scripts
 IISNode ( node.js hosting on IIS )

30. How to Azure : Tips and trick
30 days trials on windowsazure.com
2y trial for MSDN members
3y trial for BizSpark member ( very easy to join! ) – each BizSpark
trial includes 8 MSDN subscriptions
You may try to get Windows Azure Offer $60K for 2y
25% discount to MSDN members for out-of-limit Azure usage
GREAT, BIG DISCOUNTS via Enterprise Agreement!

31. Business support, if you do app based on Azure:
We can do co-marketing
You will have technical and business
persons to contact with
You may have great discounts on cloud
Early access to betas and updates
Participation in Microsoft activities –
events, road-show, campaign, business
and tech trainings
Yes, we have Go-To-Market program for
our partners which run on a global level
