4. Cloud Computing Patterns Inactivity Period On and Off Compute • On & off workloads (e.g. batch job) • Over provisioned capacity is wasted • Time to market can be cumbersome t Growing Fast • Successful services needs to grow/scale • Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge • Cannot provision hardware fast enough Compute t Unpredictable Bursting • Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand • Sudden spike impacts performance • Can’t over provision for extreme cases Compute Predictable Bursting t • Services with micro seasonality trends • Peaks due to periodic increased demand • IT complexity and wasted capacity Compute t

14. Management

15. Service Management API for Managing and Monitoring Applications in Windows Azure Provides programmatic access to platform functionality Used to deploy, manage, and monitor applications Powerful REST API, performed over SSL and mutually authenticated using X.509certificates May be accessed from within application running in Windows Azure, or directly over the Internet from any application PowerShell commands using the same APIs can be used to script management functions

16. What can you do with PowerShell? Remote Management Manage SQL Databases, Configuration, Diagnostics, Deployments, and Azure assets (Affinity Groups, Storage Accounts, Keys, etc..) Automation Query, Manage and Configure Virtual Machines across multiple subscriptions, cloud services and storage accounts. Provision Fully Configured Virtual Machines Domain Joined Storage and Networking Configured Virtual Networking Completely Configure VNETs from a Script

17. Getting Started Use: Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile and Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile To Import Downloaded Publish Profile (.publishsettings) http://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspx Automatically configures Subscription ID, Certificate, Service Endpoint and Subscription Name. Multiple Subscription Support Get-AzureSubscription | foreach { Select-AzureSubscription $_.SubscriptionName # Perform Management Operation Against Each Subscription }
