First we will talk about what Microsoft Azure is and why you would want to use Microsoft’s cloud services. Then we will take an existing on premise line of business (LOB) application with a SQL Server backend and walk through the process of moving the site to Microsoft Azure.

10. Options for relational data services in the cloud

11. MicrosoftAzure SQL Database

12. Move on-prem SQL to Azure SQL
• Create the database in Microsoft Azure SQL DB
• Use SQL Server Management Studio to migrate
the DB contents
• This automates the process of exporting the data to a
local bacpac and importing it to the cloud DB
• Verify the Windows Azure SQL DB
• Update connection strings to point to the new DB

18. Move on-prem WCF to Azure Web Site
• Create the Web Site in Microsoft Azure
• Import the publish settings into Visual Studio
• This will help us create a publish profile so we can automate
deployments
• Publish the application
• It will deploy only changed files
• Update the Expenses WPF client to use the new
hosted service
• Verify the application

20. MicrosoftAzure Service Bus

21. MicrosoftAzure Service Bus

22. What is Service Bus Relay
• Enables hybrid
applications that run in
both an Azure
datacenter and your
own on-premises
enterprise environment

23. Call internal service via Service Bus relay
• Create a service bus relay
• Add a service bus relay endpoint to the internal
service
• Update the WCF service to use the Service Bus
relay endpoint for the internal service
• Verify the Service Bus relay integration
