introduction to cloud computing winsows azure101
DESCRIPTION
The Windows Azure platform is a set of high-performance cloud computing services that can be used together or independently and enable developers to leverage existing skills and familiar tools to develop cloud applications. In this session, we’ll provide a developer-focused overview of this new online service computing platform. We’ll explore the components, key features and real day-to-day benefits of Windows Azure. Highlights include: · What is cloud computing? · Running web and web service applications in the cloud · Using the Windows Azure and local developer cloud fabric · Getting started – tools, SDKs and accounts · Writing applications for Windows AzureTRANSCRIPT

Windows Azure Roles
• Web Role– A web role is used for web application programming in
ASP.NET or PHP• Worker Role
– A worker role is used for performing work on behalf of the web role.
– In addition to .NET languages, Worker Roles may be written in Ruby or Java.
– Worker Roles are used to improve scalability by increasing parallelism and asynchronicity
– Often used for background work
Storage
• Blobs – Large Data Store• Tables – Very Fast / Scalable Storage• Queues – Background work processing• Drives – NTFS Formatted Page Blobs • SQL Azure – Relational SQL in the Cloud
– Core DB Functionality– Management– SQL Data Sync
Windows Azure AppFabric(Formerly known as .NET Services)
• Service Bus• Access Control Service• Management
Compute Storage Management ManagementRelational data Connectivity Access control
Windows Azure Cloud Fabric(Fabric Controller)
• Multiple virtual instances• Easy provision of applications• Detect failures• Spin up new instances to replace the failed ones• How many instances and what role they will play• Load balances and DNS• Elasticity of the service… scaling up/down number of
instances
Windows Azure DevFabric(Cloud in a box)
• Simulated “Cloud Experience” for Development– Routes cloud requests to local machine– Simulates data storage with local SQL server database– Azure SQL simulated with local SQL Server database
