8. .NET 5 performance improvements
 +30% socket performance improvement on Linux over .NET Core 3.1
 JSON serialization performance improved +19% over .NET Core 3.11
 Serialization of large collections & arrays improved 3x and are now zero-alloc
 gRPC server performance exceeds Go, C++ and Java2
1 All 104 JSON serialization benchmarks improved

16. What is the definition of cloud native

17. What is Cloud Native App Development?
Deploy as microservices
Manage app with
DevOps processes &
tools
Package app code & dependencies
in Kubernetes containers
By 2020, 35% of production apps
will be cloud native

20. Cloud-native is about…
Speed agility

21. Cloud native capabilities
six capabilities
The Cloud
Microservices
Modern Design
Containers
Automation
Backing Services

22. All about the cloud…
Designed for
the cloud
Developed in
the cloud
Deployed to
the cloud
Cloud from end-to-end

23. Embrace modern design principles
 Question
”modern”

24. Think 12-factor

25. Built as microservices
 Set of independent services
 Each targets a specific business capability

26. Microservice architecture

27. Deployed in containers
 Package application code, dependencies, and runtime
environment together into a unit of deployment
Host (physical machine/VM)
Container: Basket:2.0
Basket.API v2
Lib-L v4
Lib-M v2
Runtime v6
Container: Product:2.0

Health monitoring
Fix failures
Failover
Re-provision instances
Scaling
Add/remove instances
Networking

34. Manage Kubernetes
with ease
Build on an
enterprise-grade,
secure foundation
Run anything,
anywhere
Accelerate
containerized
development
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
Ship faster, operate easily, and scale confidently with managed Kubernetes on Azure

35. Microservices: for faster app development
• Independent deployments
• Improved scale and resource
utilization per service
• Smaller, focused teams
Monolithic
APP APP APP
Microservices
Large, all-inclusive app Small, independent services

36. Demo : Deploy application to AKS

37. Project Tye in .NET 5
Build, debug and deploy microservices faster
Service discovery via configuration
conventions
Add dependencies (Redis, SQL
Server, etc.) without writing
docker files
Run and debug locally using
containers and Kubernetes
Local dashboard for metrics,
logging, debugging
Automatically dockerize and deploy
