Introducing Azure IaaS - Quickly

7. Introducing Azure IaaS
Azure capabilities allows building an entire infrastructure in
the cloud.
Being able to use this power to build a development
environment enables large servers and general access where
local VMs typically fall short, without incurring huge costs as
part of the MSDN benefits.

8. Azure Networks
Azure Networks allow for two needed components.
• DNS
• Allows Cloud Services to map to internally assigned IPs
• E.g. 10.0.0.x
• Virtual Network
• Connects VMs together on the same Subnet inside of Azure.
• Think of this as your “Host Network”

9. Cloud Services and Storage
• Cloud Services
• Required
• Creates mapping from external host name ____.cloudapp.net
• Allows VM to be stopped, but when started remap to same host
name (different external IP though)
• Allows EndPoints to be opened (FireWall)
• No cost
• Storage
• Creates BLOB container to hold all VHD files.
• Always costs to store VHDs

10. Virtual Machine Gallery
• Quickly create images of systems which have been sysprep’d
