• ASP.NET providers, FastCGI, memcached, MySQL, Tomcat

• Full-trust – supports standard languages and APIs

• Secure certificate store

• Management API’s, and logging and diagnostics systems

> Multiple roles – Web, Worker, Virtual Machine (VHD)

> Multiple VM sizes• 1.6 GHz CPU x64, 1.75GB RAM, 100Mbps network, 250GB volatile

storage

• Small (1X), Medium (2X), Large (4X), X-Large (8X)

> In-place rolling upgrades, organized by upgrade domains• Walk each upgrade domain one at a time

Windows Azure Diagnostics

Compute

> Configurable trace, performance counter, Windows event log, IIS log & file buffering• Local data buffering quota management

• Query & modify from the cloud and from the desktop per role instance

• Transfer to storage scheduled & on-demand

• Filter by data type, verbosity & time range

Windows Azure Storage

> Rich data abstractions – tables, blobs, queues, drives, CDN• Capacity (100TB), throughput (100MB/sec), transactions (1K

req/sec)

> High accessibility• Supports geo-location

• Language & platform agnostic REST APIs

• URL: http://<account>.<store>.core.windows.net

• Client libraries for .NET, Java, PHP, etc.

> High durability – data is replicated 3 times within a cluster, and (Feb 2010) across datacenters

> High scalability – data is automatically partitioned and load balanced across servers

StorageStorage

Windows Azure Table Storage

Table Storage

> Designed for structured data, not relational data

> Data definition is part of the application• A Table is a set of Entities (records)

• An Entity is a set of Properties (fields)

> No fixed schema• Each property is stored as a <name, typed value> pair

• Two entities within the same table can have different properties

• No schema is enforced

Windows Azure Blob Storage

Blob Storage

> Storage for large, named files plus their metadata

> Block Blob • Targeted at streaming workloads

• Each blob consists of a sequence of blocks

• Each block is identified by a Block ID

• Size limit 200GB per blob

> Page Blob• Targeted at random read/write workloads

• Each blob consists of an array of pages

• Each page is identified by its offset from the start of the blob

• Size limit 1TB per blob

Windows Azure Queue

Queue

> Performance efficient, highly available and provide reliable message delivery

> Asynchronous work dispatch• Inter-role communication

• Polling based model; best-effort FIFO data structure

> Queue operations• Create Queue

• Delete Queue

• List Queues

• Get/Set Queue Metadata

> Message operations• Add Message

• Get Message(s)

• Peek Message(s)

• Delete Message

Windows Azure Drive

Drive

> Provides a durable NTFS volume for Windows Azure applications to use• Use existing NTFS APIs to access a durable drive

• Durability and survival of data on application failover

• Enables migrating existing NTFS applications to the cloud

• Drives can be up to 1TB; a VM can dynamically mount up to 8 drives

> A Windows Azure Drive is a Page Blob• Example, mount Page Blob as X:\

• http://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<blob>

• All writes to drive are made durable to the Page Blob

• Drive made durable through standard Page Blob replication

Windows Azure Content Delivery Network

> Provides high-bandwidth global blob content delivery• 18 locations globally (US, Europe, Asia, Australia and South

America), and growing

> Blob service URL vs. CDN URL• Blob URL: http://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/

• CDN URL: http://<guid>.vo.msecnd.net/

• Support for custom domain names

> Access details• Blobs are cached in CDN until the TTL passes

• Use per-blob HTTP Cache-Control policy for TTL (new)

• CDN provides only anonymous HTTP access

Content Delivery Network

SQL Azure

Data

> Highly available, scalable, and consistent distributed relational 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

> Editions: Web (1GB), Business (10GB)

SQL Azure Data Sync

SQL Azure Data Sync

> Tools for data synchronization with SQL Azure• Connect on-premises apps with the cloud

• Create cached-mode clients

> Built on Microsoft Sync Framework and ADO.NET Sync Services

AppFabric Service Bus

Connectivity

Service Bus

> Securely connect applications• Over the internet

• Across any network topology

• Across organizational boundaries

> Primary application patterns• Eventing – notify applications

and/or devices

• Service Remoting – securely project on-premises services out to the cloud

• Tunneling – app-to-app communication with NAT/Firewall traversal

AppFabric Access Control

Security Access Control

> Provides outsourcing of claims-based access control for REST web services

> Key capabilities:• Usable from any platform

• Low friction way to onboard new clients

• Integrates with ADFS v2

• Supports OAuth WRAP / SWT

• Enables simple delegation

> Used today by Service Bus and “Dallas”

“Geneva”

“Geneva”

> Next generation identity and access management platform• Claims-based access and single sign-on for on-premise and

cloud-based applications in the enterprise, across organizations, and on the Web

> “Geneva Framework“ (Windows Identity Foundation)• Provides .NET development tools, which includes pre-built, user-

access logic that externalizes authentication from applications. It helps developers build claims-aware .NET applications, plus build custom security token services (STS)

> “Geneva Server“• An STS for IT that issues and transforms claims and other

tokens, manages user access and enables federation and access management for simplified single sign-on> “CardSpace Geneva”

• For helping users navigate between multiple logons for simplified single sign-on while providing complete user control and transparency for how personal information is shared

“Velocity”

“Velocity”

> Distributed in-memory cache platform for developing scalable, available, and highly-performance applications• Caches any serializable CLR object and provides access through

simple cache APIs

• Supports enterprise scale: tens to hundreds of computers

• Configurable to run as a service accessed over the network• Supports dynamic scaling and automatic load balancing

• Supports continuous availability of cached data by storing copies on separate cache hosts
