3. Who Are You? Some Assumptions. You’re …
… a developer (or used to be)
… building applications for Windows Phone 7
… building applications for other mobile platforms
… curious to see how cloud computing—and Windows Azure—can help mobile applications
4. Why Phone + Cloud? The cloud levels the playing field
The cloud provides a larger pool of resources from which to pull
The cloud provides a way to reach across device platforms
5. Why WP7 and Windows Azure? PaaS: you build it, Windows Azure runs it
Automatic O/S patching
Scalable
Utility billing
Additional services (e.g. ACS, Traffic Manager, Caching, CDN, etc.)
Common development tools
Visual Studio
Languages
Emulators for development

9. What are the pieces we just saw? Identity
Storage
Services
Communications
10. Idiom: There’s more than
one way to skin a cat
11. Identity
12. Identity Options Create your own (e.g. username + password, token)
Custom model
ASP.NET Membership Providers
Use a single existing identity system (e.g. Live Id, Facebook, etc.)
Outsource identity management (e.g. Access Control Service)

14. Storage
15. Storage SQL Azure
Relational database
Highly available
Managed for you as a service
Windows Azure Tables
Non-relational structured storage
Massive scale-out
OData
Windows Azure Blobs
Big files
REST
16. SQL Azure: OData Service Client sends data to web role
Web role stores data in SQL Azure
17. Windows Azure Blobs: Public Blobs Client sends data to web role
Web role stores data in blobs
Client fetches public blobs directly
18. Windows Azure Blobs: SAS Client gets Shared Access Signature from web role
Client stores data in blobs
Client fetches public blobs directly
19. Windows Azure Tables: Proxy Calls Client sends data to web role
Web role stores data in blobs
20. Do not store your secrets on the phone
21. Services
22. Web Role versus Worker Role Web Role has IIS
Worker Role does not
DLL with Main()
Both implement the RoleEntryPoint
23. Scaling Work in Windows Azure Web role receives message
Web role enqueues work
Worker role polls queue
Worker role sends notifications
24. Multitenancy You can have more than one application running in your role instance
25. Content Delivery Network
26. Traffic Manager
27. Communications
28. Communications Two communication models
Phone-initiated
Cloud-initiated
29. Phone-Initiated Communication Options HTTP-based, request/response
Framework choices (WCF, OData, WebRequest, etc.)
Wire format choices (SOAP, JSON, POX, etc.)
30. Cloud-Initiated Communication Push Notifications
Single connection between phone and Microsoft Push Notification Service
Bandwidth- and battery-friendly
No guarantee of delivery
Three kinds of push notifications
Raw – send a message to an application
Toast – send a message to the user
Tile – update an image, title, or count
31. Subscribing to Push Notifications Phone opens a channel
Phone sends URL to cloud
Cloud pushes notifications via URL
Microsoft Push Notification service notifies phone
32. What makes this easier?
