AgendaGet ready for the cloud

The cloud is important!We do not have supported Azure here yet

All about planning & current applicationsThe Azure talk with no Azure bits

Virtualisation!

Virtualise todayLimited big hardware vs. lot’s of small cheap hardwareLearn what is a problem in virtualisation

VM Hosting (IaaS)Create a Hyper-V imageUpload imageHow do people access that image?What about state?

Our Demo Story For Today

NASA gets ~3 500 applications for ~15 spotsDisqualifies ~700 for Medical, Educational, Professional etc…

Just a simple: Submit data > Parse > Analyse

Data Design Proven Practises

Choose where appropriateRelational data: SQL Server ≡ SQL AzureBlobs: File system ≡ Blob storageQueues: MSMQ ≡ AppFabric 2.0

Potential pain areasLimited Data TypesKeep Data Size, Growth & Transaction Volume in min

Reduce logic in SQL databases

15

Connectivity Design Proven Practises

Interface (contract) based designUses standardsAbstract the connectivity layer away from the logic layer* non marketing way to tell you to use WCF

16

Features we want in processing

ASAP Asynchronicity Light with data Great WCF, REST & oData supportPersistableMonitoring * Caching *

Application Design Proven Practises

Lego againSmall pieces that do a job (function)Can operate independently

Worker rolesGreat for processing, better than web rolesCan run forever! …. Not really Expect the “Chaos Monkey” sometimes

21

Worker Role?

App Queue Worker Role Service

Regulation & Compliance

Where is your data stored?Personal info can’t leave the country*Store locally, process in the cloud

25

Security Design Proven Practises

Security Golden Rule: Don’t roll your own You should prefer an external identify provider for AuthN & AuthZ Development Options

Today: WIF “Tomorrow”: AppFabric Access Control 2.0 (Labs)

26

Why use WIF?

Deployment Design Proven Practises

Plan, plan, planWork on DNS and control that DNSUse IPv6 for forward thinking with Azure Connect

Packaging and Configuration is KEYPackage Application Binaries and Configuration Separately

Automate your deploymentsBuild components exist
