  5. NIST Definition of Cloud Enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

  6. Allocated IT-capacities Load Forecast Not Enough Power Too Much Power IT CAPACITY ActualLoad TIME

  7. Load Forecast No screaming customers Capacity on Demand IT CAPACITY No capital laying idle Knob goes up... And... down Lower Capex ActualLoad TIME

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

  9. Big Data Pattern • Terabytes to petabytes • High Performance and High Scale Compute • Molecular Conformation Pilot (1 week -> 7 Hours)

  10. HDInsight (Hadoop) • Framework for distributed processing of large data sets across clusters of computers using a simple programming model (Map/Reduce) • Scales up from single servers to thousands of machines • Library detects and handles failures at the application layer • Currently in CTP

  11. Cloud Services Infrastructure-as-a-Service “PaaS” “IaaS” “SaaS” Platform-as-a-Service Software-as-a-Service consume build host

  22. Standard Instances

  23. Memory Intensive Instances

  24. Bandwidth

  25. Web Sites (The “other” PaaS) • Makes creation of simple two-tier web sites fast • Excellent for Startups • Deploy with FTP, TFS or GIT • Free Tier (Shared vs. Reserved) • SQL Server or MySQL Database back end • The “Google AppEngine killer” 

  26. Web Sites: Two-Tier with a Database

  27. Done in Seconds!

  28. Find Apps for Azure Web Sites

  29. Virtual Machines • Persistent OS Image (finally!) • Boot from Blob storage • Mountable Drives backed by Blobs • Hyper-V compatible (upload/download VHD) • Gallery of choices

  30. Virtual Machines

  31. Data Management

  32. Storage • Scalable storage in the cloud • Auto-scale to meet massive volume and throughput • Accessible via RESTful Web Service API & .NET Client Library • Access from anywhere internal to Windows Azure • Access from anywhere at all via the Internet • All data stored in triplicate • Fault tolerant (3 local copies) • Geo-Replicated (If desired) Tables Drives Queues Blobs

  33. Blobs Large binary storage Stored in container Unlimited containers CDN Deliverable Partitioned by Blob name Storage Types • Tables (NoSQL) • Table = group of entities • Entity = name/value pairs • Partitioned by key • Scale out to billions of entities • Not Relational! • Queues • Simple message queue • Not transactional • Read at least once • Delete to remove message, otherwise is returned to queue • Partitioned by Queue Name • Drives • NTFS VHD can be mounted by: • Cloud Services • Virtual Machines (New) • Backed by Page Blob

  34. Storage Costs

  35. Windows Azure Backup (new) Cloud backups through familiar tools: Windows Server, System Center Data Protection Manager (Based on StorSimple)

  36. SQL Database • Familiar SQL Server relational database model delivered as a service • Support for existing APIs & tools • Built for the cloud with high availability & fault tolerance • Easily provision and manage databases across multiple data centers • SQL Database provides logical server • Gateway server that understands TDS protocol • Looks like SQL Server to TDS Client • Actual data stored on multiple backend data nodes • Logical optimizations supported • Indexes, Query plans etc.. • Physical optimizations not supported • File Groups, Partitions etc… • Transparently manages physical storage • Primary and three replicas stored

  37. SQL Database Pricing

  38. SQL DataSync • Geo-replication of SQL Database data • Spanning on-premises with cloud • Builds on the Sync Framework On-Premises Cloud Offline Clients

  39. Identity
