  1. .NET Clouds Public Cloud Platformsfor .NET Developers Svetlin Nakov | Telerik Sofia, 4-5 October 2012

  2. Agenda • Public Cloud Platforms • Typical Cloud Architecture • Public .NET Cloud Platforms • Cloud Types: IaaS vs. PaaS • Windows Azure • Amazon AWS (+ Beanstalk for .NET) • AppHarbor • Uhuru • Choosing a .NET Cloud

  3. Overview, IaaS, SaaS, PaaS Public Cloud Platforms

  4. What is Cloud? • Cloud ≈ multiple hardware machines combine computing power and resources • Share them between multiple applications • To save costs and use resources efficiently • Cloud for Developers? • New paradigms and APIs • E.g. NoSQL databases and MapReduce • New platforms and technologies • New deployment model

  5. Cloud Models • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) • Virtual machines in the cloud on demand • Users install the OS and software they need • Platform as a Service (PaaS) • Platform, services and APIs for developers • E.g. .NET + ASP.NET + WCF + SQL Azure • JavaScript + Node.js + MongoDB + RabbitMQ • Software as a Service (SaaS) • Hosted application on demand (e.g. Bugzilla, WordPress, Sitefinity or SugarCRM)

  6. Public Clouds • Provide computing resources on demand • Publicly in Internet, for everyone • Paid or free of charge (to some limit) • Could be IaaS, PaaS, SaaS or mix of them • Examples of public clouds • Amazon AWS, Google App Engine, Windows Azure, Rackspace, Heroku, Engineyard, AppForce, PHP Fog, AppHarbor, Uhuru, OpenShift, CloudBees, CloudSwing, Oracle Public Cloud, Salesforce, WordPress.com, …

  7. Typical Cloud Architecture • The typical cloud architecture is multi-tier, SOA, highly-scalable and highly-available • At each tier different managed services, technologies and languages can run Monitoring Load Balancer Administration Computing Node Computing Node Computing Node … Data-bases Storage Services Back-End Services Other Services

  8. Typical Cloud Architecture (2) • Computing Nodes • Host and run your applications • Different languages and frameworks • E.g. C# + ASP.NET MVC or PHP + Symfony • Stateless by design • Databases and Storage • Relational and NoSQL databases • Blob storage, file storage, CDN • Other Services • Queues, notifications, logging, email, …

  9. Develop and Run .NET Apps in the Cloud Public .NET Clouds

  10. Public .NET Clouds • I am .NET developer • I want to use a .NET cloud for my apps • What I can do? • IaaS vs. PaaS approach • IaaS: VPS or cloud hosting • Rackspace / Tier3 / any hosting provider • PaaS: write your app for certain platform • Azure, AWS, AppHarbor, Uhuru, other?

  11. IaaS for .NET Developers • IaaS / VPS / cloud hosting • Could work well for .NET applications • Offered by hundreds of hosting providers • Full control over the production servers • Limited support: • E.g. DB server failure fix it yourself! • Difficulties to configure high-availability + load balancing

  12. PaaS for .NET Developers • Two types of .NET PaaS clouds: • Microsoft Azure • Write your app against the Azure APIs • E.g. use SQL Azure, not SQL Server • Vendor lock-in • AWS, AppHarbor, Uhuru • Write your app purely in .NET • Use IIS, SQL Server, ASP.NET, WCF, …

  13. Hosting .NET Projects in Azure Windows Azure

  14. Windows Azure • Microsoft Windows Azure • Fast-growing public cloud from MS • Provides rich PaaS platform • Supports all major .NET technologies • ASP.NET MVC, WCF, ADO.NET EF, … • .NET applications need adoption to run • Supports also Java, PHP and Node.js • 3 months trial + free shared instance • Mobile phone + credit card required
