19. … all sorts of middleware, in fact

22. Windows Azure AppFabric

23. Windows Azure AppFabric Cache
• A distributed, in-memory cache for apps running in Azure:
– In-memory cache located near your Azure applications
– Based on Windows Server AppFabric Caching
• Benefits:
– Highly scalable with low latency and high throughput
– Can dynamically increase and decrease as needed, without redeploying
or modifying your application
– User doesn’t have to bother with configuration, deployment, or
management of their cache infrastructure

24. Key Capabilities & Benefits
Web Role
• Easily integrates into existing apps Local Cache
– Cache-Aside Model
– One API for Server and Cloud Output
– ASP.NET Session State Provider Sessions
– ASP.NET Page Output Caching Provider Reference
Data
• Very low latency with Local Cache Activity Data
• Caches any serializable CLR object Resource
– No serialization costs for local caching Data
• Secured w/ Access Control Service
DB

30. Queues!
P Queue C
• Reliable, durable storage – up to 1GB per Queue*
• Queues stay in the system once created, no TTL limit
• Max message size 256KB, Sessions allow grouping
• Messaging API, WCF, and HTTP/REST Interfaces

31. My Queue runs in the cloud. How about yours?
DEMO

32. Topics!

P Topic S C
S C
• All the Features of Queues + Publish/Subscribe
• Up to 2000 Subscriptions on a Topic
• Each Subscription is a virtual queue getting message copies
• Subscriptions can have filters and actions

33. We have “Topics” in the cloud. Do you?
DEMO

34. Bridging on premise messaging with the Cloud
SB Queue C Cloud
On Premise
P MSMQ Broker
• Messages are pushed to MSMQ
• Broker reads off MSMQ and publishes to SB Queue
• Service Bus Queue Client can reads it off the queue

35. Look ma! I can bridge MSMQ with AppFabric Service Bus Queues
