1. Windows AzureJune 2012 Release for Developers & Architects Mario Szpuszta Platform Strategy Advisor, EMEA Windows Azure Incubation Microsoft Corporation

2. Cloud Computing • Services-based • Run applications • Provide services • Like a utility • Similar to power • Characteristics • Elastic / dynamic • Scalable • Measured (pay-per-use)

3. Cloud Computing – What‘s different? • Higher level of abstraction • No knowledge about technology infrastructure • High degree of management-automation • Virtualized, sharedenvironment • Dynamic control ofhow much to use when • Cost-efficient dueto sharing with others • Scalable & reliable • Leverage existingassets of large vendors

4. Characteristics of Cloud Computing • On-demand delivery • Shared pool of Resources • Measured Service / Pay-per-Use • Broad Network Access • Elactisity Compute Average Usage Time = off off on

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

6. Why bother about Cloud Computing? • Expand your reach • Reduce your costs and efforts • Focus on your business & strategy • Faster and agile – more reactive to change • Reduce risks by spreading load

38. Windows Azure Active Directory!? Cloud app • Extension of Active Directory into the cloud • Designed primarily to meet the needs of cloud applications • Identity as a service: an essential part of Platform as a Service Azure AD Cloud app Cloud app AD

39. Problem Statement Cloud app While enterprises working to consolidate identity system on-premises, cloud apps are fragmenting identity… again Cloud app Cloud app Separate username/password sign-in Manual or semi-automated provisioning No direct connection to directory AD

40. History of Azure Active Directory Exchange Online • Active Directory revised to operate as Internet-scale multi-tenant identity service, built concurrently with Office 365 • Extends Windows Server Active Directory into cloud • Provides cloud-based identity services for organizations without Windows Server AD SharePoint Online Lync Online Azure AD AD

41. Identity Management as a Service ISVApp Office365 ISVApp • Consolidate identity management across cloud apps • Connect to directory from any platform, any device • Connect with people from web identity providers and other organizations Azure AD Your Custom IT App Other MSFT Apps AD

42. Relationship to Windows Server AD • On-premises and cloud Active Directory managed as one • Directory information synchronized to cloud, made available to cloud apps via roles-based access control • Federated authentication enables single sign on to cloud applications Azure AD Sync and Federation AD

43. Spring 2012 new service offerings • Virtual networking • Networking functionality in the cloud and across premises • Azure Active Directory • AD LDAP services incl. graph API and Access Control Service • Dedicated caching • Use your own instances for caching,synchronize caches through memcache Virtual Machines Web Sites VirtualNetworks Media Services AzureActive Directory Dedicated Caching

44. What is Windows Azure Caching? A distributed, in-memory, flexible cache for all data types that can be used to speed up Windows Azure applications and reduce database load. Windows Azure Caching Basically, caching helps your app become faster.

45. Flavors of in-memory caching from Microsoft • Microsoft AppFabric v1.1 for Windows Server • Latest version released in Dec 2011 on premise • Windows Azure Shared Caching • In production today cloud • Windows Azure Caching (Preview) • Introduced with Windows Azure SDK June 2012

46. Challenges with Azure’s Caching Service • Better quota management • Relax the limits and warn me before I cross them What if there were no cache quotas at all? • Flexibility, control, isolation • Make the service less of a black box What if you had control over cache like your app? • Larger caches • Give me caches bigger than 4GB How about hundreds of GB of cache? • Lower cost • Cache should be cheaper than $45/mo for 128MB What if you didn’t pay a premium for cache? • No compromises with perf • Hold the bar How about reducing latency by more than half?

47. Windows Azure Dedicated Caching • New model of caching on Windows Azure where… • Cache is a part of your app Cache is deployed on regular web and worker roles Cache lives inside your cloud service Cache is scaled, managed and monitored just like your app

48. How is the new caching model different? \bin\plugins\Caching \bin\plugins\RemoteAccess \bin\runtimes\diagnostics --- \ref\CachingPreview \ref\Microsoft.ServiceBus.dll --- 3. 1. 2. 4. Caching plugin imported on your application role(s) Cache Web Role Cache cluster lives inside your cloud service Cache is added to a web/worker role Cache is packaged with your app Caching server bits are delivered via the SDK Web Role Worker Role http://myapplication.cloudapp.net

49. Benefits of the new caching model • No cache quotas or throttling Your application is the only consumer of cache. Use as much cache as your app needs, only limited by physical capacity. Isolation, Flexibility & Control Co-located and dedicated topologies allow you maximize your resources. You have as much control over cache as you do over your own application. Lower cost Pay no premium for cache. Pay only for the web/worker roles on which cache runs. In co-located, you’ve already paid for the role!

50. Benefits of the new caching model Easy to scale Scale cache just like you scale your app. Scale up, scale out, as often as you want. Bigger caches – 100+ GB. • Great development experience Integrated Visual Studio experience to make it easy to add cache to your app. Full fidelity devfabric experience for debugging your application before deployment. Support for memcache Support for the memcache binary and text protocols for easy migration of memcache-based applications to Windows Azure.
