1. Windows Azure Platform(PDC Update) Wade Wegner Architect, Microsoft Corporation http://blog.wadewegner.com/ http://twitter.com/WadeWegner

2. The Windows Azure Platform Windows Azure SQL Azure Windows Azure platform AppFabric Developer tools Microsoft Codename “Dallas”

4. Flexible application hosting Lights-out service management Provide code & service model, hit ENTER Storage at massive scale Compute Storage Management

5. Relational database as a service Highly available, automatically maintained Extension of the SQL Server Data Platform Business Analytics Reporting Data Sync Database

6. Secure connections between services Across organizational boundaries Claims-based access control ServiceBus AccessControl

7. Microsoft Codename “Dallas”Information Services Content brokerage and discovery platform Available as a CTP at commercial launch

8. Design Principles Rock solid fundamentals Platform for business-critical applications Lower TCO Uses cloud characteristics to lower TCO Better together Comprehensive platform for complete solutions Inter-operability Enables interaction with other environments

9. Rock Solid Fundamentals Security Performance and reliability High availability Scale out Multi-tenancy

10. Lower TCO Higher level of abstraction Manage services, not servers Manage data, not databases Reduces cost of development & operations Access to shared resources Various levels of multi-tenancy Reduces cost of entry & operations Familiar programming models Reduces cost of development & maintenance

11. Better Together One stop shop for required functionality Location affinity Co-located services in locations across the globe One project Manage software components across the platform One bill Consistent usage-based billing models View and manage one bill across the platform Shared functionality Microsoft Pinpoint, Microsoft Codename “Dallas”, …

16. Inter-Operability Componentized platform Use any subset of the services to build apps Build your own tools using service APIs Language agnostic application hosting Use any framework supported by Windows Language agnostic services Program against services using open web APIs Connected platform Integrate with on-premises apps, identity, etc.

17. Lap Around

18. Application Hosting Flexible service architectures Support for standard languages (Full Trust) Service healing LB

19. Service Management Service management as a service Enables lights-out service management Powerful service upgrade models Including in-place rolling upgrade

20. Storage Blobs, Tables, Queues (New) Drives Use standard file system APIs Designed for the cloud For easy access, from anywhere For durability For massive scale

21. Coming Soon Programming model Administrator privileges in the VM Deployment of pre-configured VM images Still obtain the benefits of the WA service model Storage User-selectable geo-locations for replicas Secondary indices on tables Service management Remote terminal server access to VMs

22. Business Analytics Reporting Data Sync Database

23. Database Relational database, provided as a service Highly symmetrical development and tooling experience (use TDS protocol and T-SQL) Highly scaled out, on commodity hardware Built on the SQL Server technology foundation Beyond “hosted database” High availability, DB provisioning, and DB management are provided by the service Pay for what you use

24. Data Sync Tools for data synchronization with SQL Azure Connect on-premises apps with the cloud Create cached-mode clients Built on Microsoft Sync Framework and ADO.NET Sync Services Sync / Cache Sync

25. ServiceBus AccessControl

26. Service Bus Securely connect applications Over the internet Across any network topology Across organizational boundaries Primary application patterns Eventing: Notify applications and/or devices Service Remoting: Securely project on-premises services out to the cloud Tunneling: App-to-app communication with NAT/Firewall traversal

27. Access Control Provides outsourcing of claims-based access control for REST web services Key capabilities: Usable from any platform Low friction way to onboard new clients Integrates with AD FS v2 Supports WRAP / SWT Enables simple delegation Used today by Service Bus and “Dallas”

28. Microsoft Codename “Dallas”Information Services

29. Introducing “Dallas” Content Brokerage and Discovery platform Discover, Explore, and Use any type of content (blobs, structured, real-time web services) Tap into an ecosystem of global content providers Process & analyze data Empowers developers of all sizes Built on Windows Azure and SQL Azure

30. Commercial Launch

32. Business Model Consumption-based billing model Compute: Rent a VM by the hour Database: Rent a DB by the month Storage: Pay per transaction & data stored All: Pay per data transfer Various subscription offers are available

33. Global Availability Platform availability 21 countries, 10 currencies, 5 languages 41 countries and 13 currencies in Mar 2010 Datacenter locations North Central US South Central US North Europe Southeast Asia

34. Summary The Windows Azure Platform consists of Windows Azure SQL Azure Windows Azure platform AppFabric The Windows Azure Platform is designed to Host business-critical applications Lower the total cost of ownership Provide comprehensive functionality Support inter-operability
