Presentation Transcript

  1. Meet Azure Files, your new Swiss Army Knife • Sandrino Di Mattia (@sandrinodm) • Microsoft Azure Consultant at RealDolmen • Author at JustAzure.com • http://fabriccontroller.net

  2. Azure Files “Shared Drive”-as-a-Service

  3. Agenda Azure Storage and Azure Files Using Azure Files Comparing to Azure Blobs Comparing to Azure Disks Scenarios & Demos

  4. Azure Storage Abstractions: Blobs, Tables, Queues and now Files

  5. Disks (IaaS) Block Page Drives (PaaS) Queues Files Blobs Tables Azure Storage Account (500 TB)

  6. SMB 2.1 REST REST REST REST Blob Head Table Head Queue Head File Share Head Massive Scale Out & Auto Load Balancing Index Layer Distributed Replication Layer

  7. Using Azure Files

  8. West-Europe VM Cloud Service Web Site SMB 2.1REST SMB 2.1REST REST Azure Files

  9. Other Region Contoso (On-Premises) VM Cloud Service Web Site REST REST West-Europe Azure Files

  10. PowerShell Creating a share$c = New-AzureStorageContext <acc> <key>New-AzureStorageShare <share> -Context $ctx

  11. AzCopy Recursive copy AzCopyG:\Backups\ https://acc.file.core.windows.net/share/ /DestKey:key /s

  12. SMB Creating a mapped drivenet use Z:\\acc.file.core.windows.net\share /u:acc key== Persisting credentials cmdkey /add:acc.file.core.windows.net /user:acc /pass:key

  13. SMB In Code (P/Invoke)WNetAddConnection2 (Mpr.dll) In Code (Using RedDog.Storage)CloudFileShareshare =client.GetShareReference("reports");share.Mount("P:");

  14. SMB • Credentials: persisted per user • Mapped drives: persisted per user context • User can have 1 normal context • User can have 1 elevated context (administrator) • Use /runas to store credentials and map drives for other users

  15. REST Using the Storage Client Library varfileClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudFileClient(); var share = fileClient.GetShareReference("reports"); if (share.Exists()) { vardir = share.GetRootDirectoryReference(); var file = dir.GetFileReference("report.txt") var content = await file.DownloadTextAsync(); }
