Zero to IaaS Cloud in… 6 steps

Pre-step: Basic installations of VMM, SPF, Windows Azure Pack

1. Configure Fabric 2. Create & Configure Cloud

3. Configure Accounts in SPF

4. Connect Service Management API to

SPF & Register VMM server

5. Offer Plan with Cloud to Tenant

User

6. Tenant Subscribes to Plan

and Creates VM

Web Sites


Build highly scalable web applications

Iterate with integrated source control

Manage your app with real-time telemetry

Scale up with one click

Support for .Net, Node.js, PHP, Python

Web Sites


1Shared

Shared instances

:-)

Shared & reserved instances

• When a website is first created it runs in shared mode.

• It shares available compute resources with other subscribers that are also running websites in shared mode.

Deploy web sites into a shared/multi-tenant hosting environment running on a shared set of server resources.


Shared instances

Reserved instance

:-)

Shared and reserved instances

1Reserved

• Websites can be upgraded optionally to run in reserved mode. This isolates them to run within a dedicated virtual machine.

• When you change the mode from shared to reserved, the website is scaled up.

Shared and reserved instances

2Reserved• Elastically scale the resources sites use to

increase reserved instance capacity as traffic increases.

• Increasing the value for Reserved Instance Count will provide fault tolerance and improved performance through scale out.

• A website in Reserved mode will provide more consistent performance than a website in Shared mode because it is not sharing resources with other tenants.

• If Reserved Instance size is changed from Small to Medium or Large, the website will run in a compute instance of corresponding size with access to associated resources for each size.


Web app gallery

• Customizable self-service gallery

• Popular web apps

• Database integration


Source code and developer tools

Use familiar developer tools.

Upload to production folders.

Synchronize IDE with popular source code control systems.

Visual Studio Team Foundation Server

Usage Metering and Service Reporting


- Continuous usage metering per tenant subscription- IaaS usage (CPU, Memory, Storage, Network)- IaaS data comes from the Operations Manager DW

- Usage metering endpoint added to SPF

- Per-subscription Billing APIs- IaaS Data Warehouse

- Analytics on Tenant Subscription usage - Built on Microsoft BI stack

- Server Inventory Reports - Supports SPLA compliance

Service Management Automation


Process automation that simplifies cloud management

Integration Integrate into existing systems with PowerShell integration modulesBuild additional PS modules to enable integrating into other systems

OrchestrationAccelerate time to value with flexible process workflowsImprove service reliability across multiple tools, systems, and department silos

AutomationEnable Cloud providers to focus on work that adds business valueReduce error-prone manual activities while lowering costs

Optimize and extend existing investments

Deliver flexible and reliable services

Lower costs and improve predictability


Web Service• Standard interface for all of SMA• Security group controls access• HTTPS support to secure connection to clients

Runbook Worker• All runbook jobs are picked up by one or more

runbook workers• Runs under a service account

PowerShell Module• SMA PowerShell module to enable management of

SMA through cmdlets

Service Bus topics and subscriptionsPublish-subscribe one-to-many messaging.


Customizing / Add-ons


A sample kit contains images and styles (css files)

Step 1 - Override default images consistent with your UXExamples- Company Name Image - Banner image that shows up on login page

Step 2 - Override styles to update colors of textExamples- Intro text on login is black

.kt-main-content-area .kt-introduction {color: #000;

}

- Wizard colors are shades of green.wizard .wizard-bladescolor {

color: rgb(127, 177, 51); /* Beginning color for blades - must be rgb() */

background-color: rgb(100, 133, 20); /* End color for blades - must be rgb() */

}

Step 3 – Copy content folder on to the tenant portal machine - (C:\inetpub\MgmtSvc-TenantSite) merging folders and overwriting all files
