Whats All That Cloud?

Cloud computing is Internet- ("cloud-")based development and use of computertechnology ("computing").[

refers to a collection of service offerings and includes vendor solutions for:

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Usually refers to a computing

environment in which dynamically scalable and virtualized computationand storage resources are offered as a service. This service abstracts thenumber of service consumers from the need to invest in low-levelhardware, such as servers and storage devices.

Platform as a service (PaaS) Provides operating system and applicationplatformlevel abstractions to service consumers. PaaS provides systemresource management functions to schedule processing time, allocatememory space, and ensure system and application integrity within a multi-tenant environment. PaaS application development tools enable serviceconsumers to build cloud applications that run on the hosted platform.

Software as a service (SaaS) Refers to business and consumer

applications hosted by third-party service providers. Service consumersmight use Web browsers or installed desktop applications to interact withthe hosted applications. In some cases, SaaS providers also offer headless(that is, without a UI) Web services so that enterprises can integrate dataand business processes with SaaS applications.

Virtualized Computationprovides massive application

scalability. Customers canbuild a combination of weband worker roles. Those rolescan be automatically replicatedas needed to scale theapplications and computationalprocessing power.

Storage Services allowcustomers to scale to store large

amounts of data in any format for any length of time, only payingfor what they use or store.

Services Management takes place in theFabric Controller, the core of WindowsAzure Services Management. The FabricController is where load balancing andapplication scaling take place. Additionally,the virtualized computational capabilities

are performed here.

Windows Azure Automates themanagement of your IT Resources

GOAL:AUTOMATED APPLICATION MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

Fabric: The collection ofservers

8 VMs per server

Each VM runs customizedHypervisor Windows Server 2008

Fabric Controller performsservice management

You tell it what to doit figures out how

Automatically scale up, scaledown, update or roll applicationback toa previous version

GOAL:MASSIVE SCALABILITYScale out not up by replicatingworker instances as needed.

Allow applications to scale

user and compute processingindependently.

Two instance types: Web Role & WorkerRoleWindows Azure applications are built withweb role instances, worker role instances,or a combination of both.

Each instance runson its own VM(virtual machine),replicated asneeded

WEB ROLE WORKER ROLE

Similar to aWeb Page

Handles incomingHTTP/HTTPS requests

Develop with Microsoft andnon-Microsoft tools:ASP.NET, WCF, other .NET

toolsJava, PHP, etc.

Similar to a "batch job"or Windows service

Initiates their own requestsfor data or tasks from

the queue

Can listen for non http/httpsIncoming traffic (f.i. smtp)

Defining the Web and Worker Roles


17/36

17

GOAL:SCALABLE, DURABLE,UTILITY BASEDSTORAGEWindows Azure storage is anapplication managed by theFabric Controller

Windows Azure applications canuse native storage or SQL Azure

Application state is kept in storageservices, so worker roles canreplicate as needed

Blobs: large,unstructureddata (audio,video, etc)

Tables: massiveamounts of simplystructured data,accessed usingADO.NET

Queues: seriallyaccessed messages orrequests, allowing web-roles and worker-roles to

interact

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 aset of properties

QUEUES:

Provide reliable

storage and delivery

of messages for

an application

MicrosoftSQL Azure

SQL Azure is a cloud-based relational database platform built on MicrosoftSQL Servertechnologies. With SQL Azure, you can easily provision and deployrelational database solutions to the Azure cloud, Microsofts internet-scale cloudservices platform hosted in Microsoft data centers.

Highly available, scalable, and consistent distributedrelational database; geo-replication and geo-location of data

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
