Introduction to Windows Azure

What is the cloud?

An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints

Why Cloud• Reduce operations cost• Leverage Efficiencies of Scale• Speed to Market• Disposable Computing• Scalability• Global Presence

What is Windows Azure Compute?

Virtual Machines in the CloudThree Flavors:

Web Role Worker Role VM Role

Web & Worker Roles

Simple ASP.NET MVC app

Visual Studio 2010

Roles & instances are models in XML config

Local F5 debugging

Deployed to the cloud

Simple portal experience

Staging to production

What you saw…

Environments for your apps

Machines, rack space, switches, connectivity

Automated deployment & configuration

Isolation, redundancy, load balancing

Abstraction & Flexibility

Windows Azure provided…

Data Storage in the Cloud

Windows Azure Storage

Scalable storage in the cloud100tb per storage accountAuto-scale to meet massive volume and throughput

Accessible via REST servicesAccess from Windows Azure ComputeAccess from anywhere via internetSupporting .NET Client Library

Various storage typesTable - group of entities (name/value pairs)Queue - Simple non-transactional message queueBlob - Large binary storage Drives - NTFS VHD mounted into Compute instance

SQL Azure Database

SQL Server relational database model delivered as a serviceSupport for existing APIs & toolsBuilt for the cloud with high availability & fault toleranceEasily provision and manage databases across multiple datacenters

SQL Azure provides logical serverGateway server that understands TDS protocolLooks like SQL Server to TDS ClientActual data stored on multiple backend data nodes

SQL Azure Database

Logical optimizations supportedIndexes, Query plans etc..

Physical optimizations not supportedFile Groups, Partitions etc…
