New development challenges

• None of the following is true:

• “Network is reliable”

• “Latency is near to zero or irrelevant”

• “Bandwidth is unlimited”

• “Network is secure”

• “Topology doesn’t change”

• “Transport cost is irrelevant”

• “Network is homogeneous”

SQL Database

SQL on IaaS

NoSQL Tables

24

Run SQL on VM

• Run any SQL product on cloud VM

• Support for SQL Server, Oracle, MySql

• Ready to go VM images available in Gallery

• Persistent storage using attached disk in blob storage

SQL IaaS Comparison vs SQL Database

SQL DatabaseFully managed SQL Server environment

HA/DR features automatically included

Automatic backup enabled by default

SQL IaaSChoice of a variety of DB engines (SQL Server, Oracle, MySql)

Larger database sizes possible (16TB)

All features of native DB available

Windows authentication available (requires VM to be joined to on-premises domain)

26

NoSQL Generally more scalable

• The storage engines of NoSQL stores are designed to minimize contentions enabling higher throughput and therefore more scalable

• Lower transaction capability in NoSQL results in less contention and therefore more scalable

• Less complex query processor means that a single query can’t degrade service

• Built-in replication capability means that store can scale out which better aligns to other application tiers (e.g. websites)

• No fixed schema or lower schema requirements

NoSQL on Azure

• Cassandra is a columnar store with excellent replication

• HBase is a Big Data (Hadoop) NoSQL store available in HDInsight

• MongoDB is a document (JSON) store

• The new DocumentDB document (JSON) store

• The new DocumentDB document (JSON) store

• Azure Tables service is NoSQL row store

Windows Azure Storage Abstractions

TablesStructured storage. A table is a set of entities; an entity is

a set of properties.

QueuesReliable storage and delivery of messages for an application.

BlobsSimple named files along with metadata for the file.

DrivesDurable NTFS volumes for Windows Azure applications to use. Based on Blobs.

Sharing Files – The old way

• Setup an IaaS VM to host a File Share backed by an IaaS Disk

• Write code to find the IaaS File Share from the rest of the VMs in your service.

• Write some code to provide high availability

• Handle host upgrades, node failures

• You can only access the File Share from other VMs

PaaS VM

Backup IaaS VMs (Mount/Share after failover)

Azure Files

• Shared Network File Storage for Azure

• Availability, durability, scalability are managed automatically

• Supports two interfaces: SMB and REST

• Share data across VMs and applications

• Multiple writers, multiple readers using standard file system semantics.

• Share settings throughout services

• VMs can read settings and files from a common, shared location. These can be updated externally via REST.

• Dev/Test/Debug

• Very useful to have a shared location for installing applications, setting up VMs, running tools, and keeping notes while developing, testing, and debugging cloud services.

Build for the cloud

• Web Standards

• Apps are built using industry proven web standards such as HTML, JavaScript and REST

• Scalable and Safe

• Apps are independently scalable which reduces total cost of ownership. Apps are secured and isolated from SharePoint

• Accessible

• Apps can be accessed from any device with a web browser. Write once, run anywhere

• An app can run outside the firewall in the cloud and from inside the firewall in a data center.

• Apps can be hosted on any platform giving you complete freedom.

Conclusions

Azure (Web Site) o SharePoint (Site)?

Azure(Windows Server)

• Focus on

• Functionalities

• Full Control on infrastructure

• All pros and cons

• Develop applications

• Flexible experience

• Common question:

• “How do I handle this power?”

SharePoint On Line (SharePoint on Premise)

• Focus on:

• documents (content)

• Light Control on infrastructure

• All pros and cons

• Develop apps

• Specialized/controlled experience

• Common question

• “How do I manage template change when new SP version come out?”

“

”How much does it costs?

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/calculator/ Please distinguish between Fixed Costs and Current Costs!

Security and Privacy

• I’m not a security expert

• I’m a honest developer

• Some anti-examples…

• Development teams, Sales force is distributes “by design”

• On premise issues (Firewall, for example)

• People that talk about security issues publish photo of their children on Facebook

• I have every document on Cloud…

• …but not my photos (only in my on premise W2K12R2 Essentials @ home with two external backups!)

Conclusions

• Office 365 is the best solution on which you can build your Company

• A complete set of RESTful services to be integrated

• Identity, Storage and Communications for the Company

• Azure is the best solution with which you can extend your Company

• A complete set of .NET and RESTful services

• Visual Studio ecosystem is the best solution with which you can customize your company

• A complete set of tools
