Azure Service Fabric Build, deploy, and operate applications, using any OS, at any scale, on any cloud

Proven platform powering core Azure and Microsoft services

Microsoft has deep expertise in running global services

such as Cortana, Skype & Cosmos DB

Service Fabric is the foundational technology

powering these services & core Azure infrastructure

Sample scale of one of these services: 60 billion

events per day with millions of databases

About 30% of Azure’s cores run Service Fabric directly.

Service Fabric Manages Millions of Service upgrades

Service Fabric Programming Models

Guest Executables/Containers

• Bring any exe

• Any language

• Any programming model

• Packaged as Application

• Gets versioning, upgrade,

monitoring, health, resource

governance

Reliable Services

• Stateless & stateful services

• Independent lifecycles

• High density

• Access to Reliable Collections

• Transactions across

collections

• Full platform integration

Reliable Actors

• Simplified programming

model

• Single Threaded model

• Requires totally disconnected

compute & state

• Removes access to some

advanced features

• Be careful

• Reliable Services provide failure management, HA of code

• Reliable Collections provide HA of state

• ReliableDictionary, ReliableQueue, ReliableConcurrentQueue

Programming models: Reliable Services

Collections

• Single machine

• Single-threaded

Concurrent Collections

• Single machine

• Multi-threaded

Reliable Collections

• Multi-machine

• Replicated (HA)

• Persisted (durable)

• Asynchronous

• Transactional

https://github.com/jjcollinge/traefik-on-service-fabric

• Træfik is a reverse proxy that has been

developed with microservices in mind.

• Built-in support for dynamic

configuration, circuit breakers and

smart load balancing

• Integrated watchdog service with

Application Insights support

Recent Milestones…

In the last year:

GA of support for Windows Containers

GA of support for integration with Azure API Management

GA of support for DNS addressing within the cluster

GA of Service Fabric on Linux

GA of support for Resource Governance of processes and containers

Preview of support for .NET Core (Really .NET Standard 2 APIs)

Many performance, stability, and usability improvements

Preview of full support for Java

• Per-App network

• Stable IPs

• Service Mesh

Networking

So what’s next?

• API models inside

• Volume drivers

• Logs & Monitoring

Containers

• Resource

Governance

• Debugging

Improvements
