Agenda• What’s in PaaS• Architecture Guidance• Azure toolkits for devices• Demo• Resource• Q&A

PaaS Supports• Storage– SQL Azure/Blob/Table/Queue

• Hosted Services• Caching Service• Service Bus• Access Control Service• Azure Connect• Traffic Manager

Storage• SQL Azure– Multitenant model– Upto 150GB– Federation support– SQL Azure Copy– Data Sync– DMV Support for performance– Web based Query interface– IP based security– UTC based timestamp

• Blob• Table• Queue

PaaS services• Webrole

– host your website or web application– supports ssl,hostheader and port config– Multiple sites of size over 1 G need work around due to

application drive size limitation– Startup task to setup and legacy requirements

• worker role– background process (e.g., windows service)

• VM role– Running copy of your vhd image (IaaS)– Startup task to setup and legacy requirements

• Startup Task– Runs in elevated privileges– Simple, background or foreground type of tasks

• Session State:– Sticky session not supported– use Appfabric cache as your session state provider

PaaS services• Appfabric caching:

– SaaS based caching provider– Close compatible with Windows fabric caching

• Operating System:– OS 1.x will follow WS08 RTM

(http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=12925) – OS 2.x will follow WS08 R2

(http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=14134• Active Directory

– Authorization/Authentication– Federation login [windows live]– Single Sign-on– WIF

• Access Control Service

PaaS services• Service Bus• Virtual Networks– Connect– Traffic Manager

• Search:– Lucene or Solr

WA Toolkits for Devices• Easier for device developers to use Windows

Azure• Targets– Windows Phone– iOS (iPhone & iPad)– Android

• Toolkits include– Native libraries– Project templates– MVC3/SQL Azure support– Cloud ready packages/configuration utility for Mac– Samples– Documentation

What’s Running in Windows Azure?• Services– Authentication– Proxy requests to SQL Azure– Proxy requests to WA storage– Generate SASs– Push notification

• Portal

How it works?

(1)

(3)

Web Role

(2)

(4)

• Client sends request to proxy

• Proxy makes call against Storage

• Storage returns a response

• Proxy returns response to device

How it works (Shared access signature)?

(1)

(4)Web Role

(3)(2)

• Client makes request of Web Role for SAS

• Web Role sends client SAS

• Client makes request

• Client gets response

Notification: Different Services• Windows Phone–Microsoft Push Notification

Service(MPNS)• iOS– Apple Push Notification Service (APNS)

• Android– Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM)

MPNS

• PN allows your cloud services to have certain level of interaction with end-user when your app is not running

• Players: Web application or cloud services, Windows Phone, MPNS(dedicated, resilient, and persistent channel for pushing notifications to a mobile device)

• Types• Raw• Tile• Toast
