Editor's Notes
- Slide Objectives:Explain the differences and relationship between IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS in more detail.Speaking Points:Here’s another way to look at the cloud services taxonomy and how this taxonomy maps to the components in an IT infrastructure. Packaged SoftwareWith packaged software a customer would be responsible for managing the entire stack – ranging from the network connectivity to the applications. IaaSWith Infrastructure as a Service, the lower levels of the stack are managed by a vendor. Some of these components can be provided by traditional hosters – in fact most of them have moved to having a virtualized offering. Very few actually provide an OSThe customer is still responsible for managing the OS through the Applications. For the developer, an obvious benefit with IaaS is that it frees the developer from many concerns when provisioning physical or virtual machines. This was one of the earliest and primary use cases for Amazon Web Services Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2). Developers were able to readily provision virtual machines (AMIs) on EC2, develop and test solutions and, often, run the results ‘in production’. The only requirement was a credit card to pay for the services.PaaSWith Platform as a Service, everything from the network connectivity through the runtime is provided and managed by the platform vendor. The Windows Azure best fits in this category today. In fact because we don’t provide access to the underlying virtualization or operating system today, we’re often referred to as not providing IaaS.PaaS offerings further reduce the developer burden by additionally supporting the platform runtime and related application services. With PaaS, the developer can, almost immediately, begin creating the business logic for an application. Potentially, the increases in productivity are considerable and, because the hardware and operational aspects of the cloud platform are also managed by the cloud platform provider, applications can quickly be taken from an idea to reality very quickly.SaaSFinally, with SaaS, a vendor provides the application and abstracts you from all of the underlying components.
- Windows Azure offers highly-available Compute capacity that enables you to run application code in the cloud and allows you to quickly scale your applications up or down to meet your customer needs. Goal for Slides 6 thru 9 is to explain how easy is it to scale up and down based on your capacity needs.
- Windows Azure is designed for high availability providing 99.95% monthly SLA with automatic hardware failover .
- Windows Azure has datacenters in 8 locations (4 in the USA, 2 in Europe and 2 in the Asia pacific region) which allows us to provide services in 83 countries around the world.
- Windows Azure lets developers choose the framework and tools they want, with first-class support of .NET, Java, PHP and Node.js. Windows Azure consists of a set of foundational services - let’s take a quick tour, starting with 3 core services: Compute, Data Management and Networking.Compute:Windows Azure offers highly-available Compute capacity that enables you to run application code in the cloud and allows you to quickly scale your applications up or down to meet your customer needs. Each Compute instance is a virtual machine that isolates your application from other customers. Once Compute resources are assigned to your application, Windows Azure automatically handles network load balancing and failover to provide continuous availability.Cloud Services(PaaS): Capture the full benefits of the cloud that quickly scale up or down. Infrastructure management is all done by Microsoft, so you can focus your resources on building the best app.Virtual Machines (IaaS): Instantly run your existing applications and infrastructure in a VHD image. You retain full control to configure and maintain the image. Web Sites: Quickly and easily deploy sites to the cloud with support for multiple frameworks and popular open source applications including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla! and Umbraco.Data management:StorageThe design point is for the cloud is availability of storage, there are 3 replicas of data, and we implement guaranteed consistency. In the future there will be some transaction support and this is why we use guaranteed consistency.There are 4 types of storageTables = Key value storeQueues = a simple queuing mechanismBlobs = Binary file storage in the cloudDrives = A mechanism that allows a VHD in a blob to be mounted as an NTFS drive into a Compute roleAuthenticated access and triple replication to help keep your data safe Easy access to data with simple REST interfaces, available remotely and from the data centerDatabase:Simple to provision- create a logical server in the Portal, execute a create DB Command to create a new databaseCan add and remove DBs easily from application to scale up and downNo need to install or patch software or other physical administrationAutomatic high availability and fault toleranceSupport for T-SQL based familiar relational database modelNetworkingWindows Azure offers multiple levels of connectivity through Windows Azure Connect and Virtual Networks ConnectWindows Azure connect is a Windows Azure feature that enables Azure services to connect to on-premise resources in a manner that is secure, quick to setup, and easy to manage.

- Building a VM in the cloud Instantly run your existing applications in the cloud using Windows Azure Virtual Machines. Virtual Machines allow you to easily move your applications and infrastructure to the cloud without requiring any changes to the existing code. You can bring your own Windows Server or Linux images or select from a gallery. Regardless of your choice, you retain full control to configure and maintain the image. Windows Azure Virtual Machines are great for:Application mobilityVirtual Machines give you application mobility, allowing you to move your virtual hard drives (VHDs) back and forth between on-premises and the cloud.Running popular Microsoft server applicationsVirtual Machines help you run the same on-premises enterprise applications and infrastructure in the cloud, with support for many popular Microsoft server applications such as Microsoft SQL Server, Active Directory and Microsoft SharePoint Server. Future gallery images will support applications such as SQL Server pre-installed on Windows Server for your usage.Integrate with Other Windows Azure ServicesVirtual machines can be used in coordination with all of the services provided by Windows Azure. Common scenarios would be to use Windows Azure Virtual Network to connect Virtual Machines to your on-premises data center or include a Virtual Machine in the design of your application that includes web and worker roles.You have three methods of starting this process: Build a VM from the portal, from the command line OR programmatically calling the REST API. Once your choice of provisioning is made you will need to select the image and instance size to start from. The newly created disk will be stored in blob storage and your machine will boot.

- Slide ObjectivesUnderstand the hierarchy of Blob storageSpeaker NotesThe Blob service provides storage for entities, such as binary files and text files. The REST API for the Blob service exposes two resources: Containers Blobs. A container is a set of blobs; every blob must belong to a container. The Blob service defines two types of blobs:Block blobs, which are optimized for streaming. Page blobs, which are optimized for random read/write operations and which provide the ability to write to a range of bytes in a blob. Blobs can be read by calling the Get Blob operation. A client may read the entire blob, or an arbitrary range of bytes. Block blobs less than or equal to 64 MB in size can be uploaded by calling the Put Blob operation. Block blobs larger than 64 MB must be uploaded as a set of blocks, each of which must be less than or equal to 4 MB in size. Page blobs are created and initialized with a maximum size with a call to Put Blob. To write content to a page blob, you call the Put Page operation. The maximum size currently supported for a page blob is 1 TB.Noteshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd573356.aspxUsing the REST API for the Blob service, developers can create a hierarchical namespace similar to a file system. Blob names may encode a hierarchy by using a configurable path separator. For example, the blob names MyGroup/MyBlob1 and MyGroup/MyBlob2 imply a virtual level of organization for blobs. The enumeration operation for blobs supports traversing the virtual hierarchy in a manner similar to that of a file system, so that you can return a set of blobs that are organized beneath a group. For example, you can enumerate all blobs organized under MyGroup/.
- Windows Azure Connect and Virtual Network are both cross-premise IP-based network connectivity features of Windows Azure. Together, they provide ways to connect Windows Azure and on-premise resources for both simple scenarios where underlying network need not be understood or changed, as well as complex scenarios where complete control over network topology is desired.

- Microsoft is unique in that we offer solutions that span both the public and private clouds with Windows Server and Windows Azure – our goal is to provide both a common set of infrastructure including identity, virtualization, management, and developer tools and symmetry between public and private clouds IdentityEvery organization needs to manage identity inside their business and wants to enable seamless and secure access across both private and public cloud resources. Windows Azure Active Directory enables you to easily leverage your existing AD investments and configuration inside Windows Azure for a single sign-on experience. In addition, Windows Azure AD supports brokering “consumer” identity for your application by simplifying how you work with identity providers like Facebook, LinkedIn and Windows Live ID.VirtualizationWindows Azure has introduced a complete Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution which enables portability of on-premise virtual machines to the cloud. Now IT professionals can easily migrate virtualized servers from on-premises to and run it inside Windows Azure.ManagementIT Managers now must deal with an even more complex environment as there applications and VM’s can span across both their datacenters and Windows Azure. With System Center you can have a “single pane of glass” view that enables the management, operations, and monitoring of your servers AND applications across both the public and private cloud in one familiar interface.DevelopmentIn addition to identity, virtualization and management Microsoft provides a common development experience across the public and private cloud including our flagship Visual Studio and .NET platform but also support for Java with Eclipse, and other open source languages.
