THE WINDOWS AZURE PLATFORM

Windows Azure SQL Azure Windows Azure platform AppFabric Microsoft Codename “Dallas”

Developer tools


AZURE SERVICE PLATFORM

Windows Azure is an Operating System as a Service for the Cloud.

Compute – auto-provisioning 64-bit application containers in Windows Server VMs; supports a wide range of application models

Storage – highly available distributed table, blob, queue, & cache

Languages – .NET 3.5 (C#, VB.NET, etc.), IronRuby, IronPython, PHP, native Win32 code

SQL Azure is a Relational Database for the Cloud.

RDBMS – Tables, Views, Indexes, Stored Procedures, Triggers, ...

Programmability – Managed ADO.NET data access, native ODBC, support for PHP

Tools – SQLCMD and the SQL Azure Database account portal

AppFabric is the glue between on-premises and the cloud.

Service Bus – connectivity to on-premises applications; secure, federated fire-wall friendly Web services messaging intermediary; durable & discoverable queues

Identity Management – rules-driven federated identity; AD federation; claims-based authorization

Live Services is a building block within the Azure Services Platform.

WINDOWS AZURE

Flexible application hosting Lights-out service management

Provide code & service model, hit ENTER

Storage at massive scale Blobs, tables, queues

Compute StorageManagement

There’s an SDK for this: http://phpazure.codeplex.com


WINDOWS AZURE


SQL AZURE

Relational database as a service Highly available, automatically maintained

Extension of the SQL Server Data Platform

Database

Business AnalyticsReporting Data Sync

There’s a driver for this: http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com


SQL AZURE

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

Beyond “hosted database” High availability, DB provisioning, and DB management are

provided by the service Pay for what you use


WINDOWS AZURE APPFABRIC

Secure connections between services Across organizational boundaries

Claims-based access control

ServiceBus

AccessControl

There’s an SDK for this: http://dotnetservicesphp.codeplex.com/


WINDOWS AZURE APPFABRIC - 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


SERVICE BUS OVERVIEW


MICROSOFT CODENAME “DALLAS”

Content brokerage and discovery platform Available as a CTP at commercial launch

BEFORE SKIPPING TO Q&A...

Do I need Visual Studio / Eclipse? Only for local debugging.

Do I need Windows & the Windows Azure SDK? Only for packaging. I’ll keep whining to make this available on Linux.
