Cloud Computing
„a smarter way of Hosting“
• Acquire resources on demand release them
when no longer needed
• Pay for what you use
• Turn fixed cost into variable cost
• No internal IT needed
• No internal policy, no internal fees
• 24 x 7, 99.9% Reliability
• Geo Location
• Geo Data Replication
Cloud Fundamentals
• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): basic compute
and storage resources
– On-demand servers
– Amazon EC2, VMWare vCloud
• Platform as a Service (PaaS): cloud application
infrastructure
– On-demand application-hosting environment
– E.g. Google AppEngine, Salesforce.com, Windows
Azure
• Software as a Service (SaaS): cloud applications
– On-demand applications
– E.g. GMail, Microsoft Office Web Companions
The Benefits of the Cloud
• The Cloud is about cheap, on-demand capacity

Introducing Windows Azure
Windows Azure is an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft
data centers around the world, proving a simple, reliable and powerful
platform for the creation of web applications and services.
SQL Data Platform as a Service
 The Power of the SQL Data Platform in the cloud
 Leverages existing skills and rich tooling ecosystem
 Enables database applications with new, “cloud” capabilities
 DBA only focus on the logical DB

Windows Azure Automates
the Management of Your IT Resources
Service Management is performed by
the Fabric Controller, which controls all the
resources within the data center. The Fabric
Controller deploys your service and
monitors the overall health of the fabric.
Security and Control State-of-
Virtualized
Computation provides
massive application scalability.
Customers can build a
combination of web and
worker roles. Those roles can
be replicated as needed to
scale the applications and
computational processing
power.
Storage Services allow
customers to scale to store large
amounts of data – in any format –
for any length of time, only paying
for what they use or store.
the-art physical security processes
combined with strictly controlled OS
access model. Data is replicated in
multiple fault domains in location
selected by the customer.
State-of-the-art data
centers located around the
world. Host your applications and
data securely, accessible from
everywhere you allow.
Compute Services in Windows Azure
GOAL: Massive Scalability
Scale out – not up – by replicating
worker instances as needed.
role types: Web Role, Worker Role & VM Role
Windows Azure applications are built with
web roles, worker roles, VM roles or a
combination deployed to a number of instances.
Allow applications to scale
user and compute processing
independently.
Each instance runs
on its own VM
(virtual machine),
replicated as needed
Comparison of Role Types
• Web Role : The role is hosted on IIS
• Worker Role : The role is an executable (you can create your
own web server, host a database, …)
• VM Role : The role is the VM.
– Use Windows services, scheduled tasks, etc.
– You configure and maintain the OS.

VM Role – Overview
• Developers have full control over the OS image
• Ability to upload your own customized WS08R2
Enterprise images
• Operators can reboot, re-image and Remote

VM Role – Common Questions
• Will any WS08 R2-based application work?
– No, VM Role inherits some Web/worker restrictions:
• SLA requires at least two identical/similar instances
• No durability of OS image on hardware failure
• One public IP per service (unless using Windows Azure Virtual
Network)
• Does Windows Azure take care of *everything*?
– No
• With VM Role, the customer creates & maintains the OS
• Windows Azure does not automatically understand the health
of the applications running in our VM
– But, since you deploy services instead of individual
VM’s, Windows Azure does automate many
management tasks.

Storage Services in Windows Azure
GOAL: Scalable, durable utility-based storage
 Windows Azure storage is
an application managed
by the Fabric Controller
 Windows Azure
applications can use
native storage, MySQL
within a VM, or SQL
Azure
 Application state is kept
in storage services, so
worker roles can replicate
as needed
 Blobs can be stored in
global Windows Azure
Content Delivery Network
(CDN)
Blobs, Tables, Queues and Drives
BLOBS:
Provide a simple
interface for storing
named files along with
metadata for the file.
TABLES:
Provide structured
storage. A table is
a set of entities
which contain a set
of properties.
QUEUES:
Provide reliable
storage and delivery
of messages for
an application.
DRIVES:
A durable NTFS file
system volume,
sharable across
instances.

Windows Azure AppFabric Caching
• A distributed, in-memory cache for applications
running in Windows Azure
– In-memory cache located near your Windows Azure
applications
– Simple administration
• Benefits
– Highly scalable caching solution with low latency and
high throughput
– Can dynamically increase and decrease as needed
– End-user doesn’t have to bother with configuration,
deployment, or management of their cache
AppFabric Caching Advantages
• Integrates easily into existing applications
– ASP.NET session state and output cache providers
enable no-code integration
• Same managed interfaces as Windows Server
AppFabric Cache
• Caches any serializable managed object
– No object size limits
– Near cache (client-local) for hot data without
serialization costs
