  1. Seeing through the Clouds:Introduction to the Azure Services Platform James Conard Sr. Director Developer and Platform Evangelism Microsoft Corporation

  2. Cloud Computing Cloud Services Software as a Service Infrastructure as a Service Everything as a Service

  3. Challenges Building Apps • # of users? After 1 month? 6 months? 1 yr? • Capacity? Servers? Bandwidth? Storage? • How do you scale up or down over time? • How can you handle peak loads? • How do you provide high availability? • What are the upfront capital costs? • How quickly can you go live? • How do you reduce your operations costs?

  4. Platform Continuum On-Premises Servers Hosted Servers Cloud Platform • Bring your own machines, connectivity, software, etc. • Complete control • Complete responsibility • Static capabilities • Upfront capital costs for the infrastructure • Renting machines, connectivity, software • Less control • Fewer responsibilities • Lower capital costs • More flexible • Pay for fixed capacity, even if idle • Shared, multi-tenant infrastructure • Virtualized and dynamic • Scalable and available • Abstracted from the infrastructure • Higher-level services • Pay as you go

  5. Azure Services Platform Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services Microsoft SharePoint Services

  6. Windows Azure • Scalable, virtualized hosting environment • Flexible storage with blobs, tables, and queues • Model-driven service lifecycle management • Rich local and offline developer experience Compute Storage Management

  7. Internet Tables Windows Azure LB Storage Queues Web Site (ASPX, ASMX, WCF) Worker Service Web Site (ASPX, ASMX, WCF) Worker Service Web Site (ASPX, WCF, etc.) Worker Service Blobs
