SQL Azure V1 targets scenarios that live in the lower left quadrant

8. Scenarios for V1
• Departmental Applications
‒ Simple application built by individual or department
‒ Need simple deployment, self-management, IT: “Empowerment and
Governance”
• Web Applications
‒ Small business or startup that uses the cloud as their IT
‒ Simple deployment, self-management, scale on demand
• ISV
‒ ISV hosting software on behalf of customer
‒ Multi-tenant support for billing and isolation
• Data Hub (Shortly After V1)
‒ Sharing and aggregating of data across tiers and across enterprises
‒ Centralized place for data, high scale, sync with existing data sources

10. Service Provisioning Model
• Each account has zero or more servers
Account ‒ Azure wide, provisioned in a common portal
‒ Billing instrument
• Each server has one or more databases
‒ Contains metadata about the databases and usage
‒ Unit of authentication
Server ‒ Unit of Geo-location
‒ Generated DNS based name
• Each database has standard SQL objects
‒ Unit of consistency
‒ Unit of multi-tenancy
Database ‒ Contains Users, Tables, Views, Indices, etc.
‒ Most granular unit of billing
11

11. Architecture
• Shared infrastructure at SQL database and below
‒ Request routing, security and isolation
• Scalable HA technology provides the glue
‒ Automatic replication and failover
• Provisioning, metering and billing infrastructure
SDS Provisioning (databases, accounts, roles, …, Metering, and Billing

17. Programming Model
• Small Data Sets
‒ Use a single database
‒ Same model as on premise SQL Server
• Large Data Sets and/or Massive Throughput
‒ Partition data across many databases
‒ Use parallel fan-out queries to fetch the data
‒ Application code must be partition aware in v1
‐ For v1 will publish best practices for scale out
‐ Post-v1 we are looking at building an abstraction to hide some of
the complexities of partitioning

18. Sharding Databases
• 1 x 10GB database
‒ 1 Instances
• 10 x 1GB databases
‒ 10 Instances
19

20. Compatibility Goals
• Support common application patterns
• Logical/policy based administration
• Patterns work from SQL Server to SQL Azure
• Multi-tenancy considerations
‒ Throttling and load balancing
‒ Limits on DB size, transaction duration, …
V1: Address the needs of the majority of web and
departmental application
21

21. Sample of SQL Compatibility
In Scope for v1 Out of Scope for v1
• Tables, indexes and views • Distributed Transactions
• Stored Procedures • Distributed Query
• Triggers • CLR
• Constraints • Service Broker
• Table variables, • Spatial
session temp tables (#t) • Physical server or catalog DDL
• … and views
22

22. Connection Model
• Use existing client libraries
‒ ADO.NET, ODBC, PHP
• Client libraries pre-installed in Azure roles
• Support for ASP.NET controls
• Clients connect directly to a database
‒ Cannot hop across DBs (no USE)
23

23. Logical vs. Physical Administration
• SQL Azure focus on logical administration
‒ Schema creation and management
‒ Query optimization
‒ Security management (Logins, Users, Roles)
• Service handles physical management
‒ Automatically replicated with HA “out of box”
‒ Transparent failover in case of failure
‒ Load balancing of data to ensure SLA
DBA role places more focus on logical management
24

24. Deployment
• Support for basic deployment options
‒ SQL scripts work (but not attach database)
• Geo-location of Windows Azure compute and SQL Azure
Databases
• Support for Application and multi-server management
model
‒ Support for application packages
‒ Cloud or on-premise is a deployment time choice
‒ Visibility of data across on-premise and the cloud
Support existing and new forms of deployment
25

25. Security Model
• Uses regular SQL security model
‒ Authenticate logins, map to users and roles
‒ Authorize users and roles to SQL objects
• Support for standard SQL Auth logins
‒ Username + password
• Future AD Federation, WLID, etc as alternate authentication
protocols
Security model is 100% compatible with on-premise SQL
26

26. Pricing
Web Edition Business Edition
• 1 GB Database • 10GB Database
• $9.99 / month • $99.99 / month
• Bandwidth • Bandwidth
‒$0.10 /GB inbound ‒$0.10 /GB inbound
‒$0.15 /GB outbound ‒$0.15 /GB outbound
• Specified by MAXSIZE on CREATE DATABASE command or portal
• Billing granularity is the day
• Monthly billing period
27

27. Platform Readiness (EHA)
• Exchange Hosted Archive (EHA) is high scale archival service
• Runs on SQL Azure infrastructure
‒ In production prior to SQL Azure v1
• Rebuilt to address cost and scale issues
http://www.microsoft.com/casestudies/Case_Study_Detail.aspx?CaseStudyID=4000003098
Reduced COGS with increased customer and business benefit:
 Larger scale (e.g. larger customers ~20TB+ each)  Better query performance for fan-out
 More self-managing (e.g. fault-tolerance)  Faster provisioning of new customers
28

28. SQL Azure
Opportunities and Futures
• Partitioned databases
• Geo-location and geo-redundancy
• Distributed query
• Security w/AD, WLID, etc
• Support for multiple levels of hardware and software
isolation
