Side by Side Installation with SDK 1.7

5. 5
IIS Express support for local development
By default windows azure compute emulator uses IIS Express version, Instead of using Full IIS.
This makes the process less intensive.
Incase your application need to be run on Full IIS mode. It can be changed from the cloud
project properties

6. 6
Windows azure caching
• Windows Azure Caching provides a caching layer to your Windows Azure applications.
• Increases performance by temporarily storing information in-memory from other backend
sources
• Reduce the costs associated with database transactions in the cloud.
Windows Azure Caching is made available in two different scenarios
• Dedicated Caching node, It is a cache worker role that provides a dedicated cache to your
application.

7. 7
• Shared Caching node - Made available through the Role Properties, since now we have a Caching
Tab in which we can define how we want to configure our Windows Azure Cache, and so reuse
our existing Roles in order to also provide Caching capabilities.

8. 8
Worker Role with Service Bus Queue
New Worker Role Template that has everything needed to consume Messages from Windows
Azure Service Bus Queues, as well as also having code blocks on the OnStart, OnStop and
Run methods of the RoleEntryPoint class for the Worker role that will handle the configuration,
graceful shutdown and of course the receiving and processing of the message

9. 9
Improved Visual Studio Server Explorer
• Manage and understand what's happening inside both Queues and Topics, as well as allowing
us to Create new Queues, Topics and Subscriptions and also Sending and receiving messages
directly from Visual Studio.

10. 10
• New support to manage IAAS Virtual machine
• RDP – Support to connect directly through the instances

11. 11
Improved Publishing Process
• Introduced new option – Delete deployment on failure
• Deployment update – Updated instance one by one or all at a time and also there is an
option, if deployment can’t be updated, do a full deployment.

12. 12
IAAS – Virtual Machine
With Windows Azure you can easily bring your own customized Windows Server or Linux images
or select from a gallery. Retain full control of your images and maintain them as your business
requires.
VM Role Virtual Machine
Storage Non-Persistent Storage Persistent Storage
Easily add additional storage
Deployment Build VHD offsite and upload to
storage.
Build VHD directly in the cloud or build the VHD
offsite and upload
Networking Internal and Input Endpoints configured
through service model.
Internal Endpoints are open by default.
Access control with firewall on guest OS. Input
endpoints controlled through portal, service model or
API/Script.
Primary Use Deploying applications with long or
complex installation requirements into
stateless PaaS applications
Applications that require persistent storage to easily
run in Windows Azure.

C: = OS Disk
D: = Non-Persistent Cache Disk
E:, F:, G:, ….. = Data Disk
Note: D drive is physical storage on the rack server, the VM is running on. It is NOT backed by
Windows Azure storage and should be considered temporary storage only.
All other drives of virtual machine is replicated three times within the same data center and
optionally another three times in a different datacenter in the same region for extreme durability.

Virtual Machine – Disk Caching
Disk Type Default Supported VM Reboot
OS Disk ReadWrite ReadOnly and ReadWrite Yes
Data Disk None None, ReadOnly and ReadWrite No
Disk caching can be changed by using the below windows azure powershell cmdlets
Set-AzureOSDisk : CmdLets to change the disk cache of OS Disk
Set-AzureDataDisk : CmdLets to change the disk cache of Data Disk
Example : Get-AzureVM -ServiceName “myServiceName” -name “myVMName" | Set-AzureOSDisk
-HostCaching "ReadOnly“

Virtual Machine – Service Level Agreement

19. 19
Virtual Machine – Availability Set (Related with SLA)
VMs in a set will be physically on separate racks in the data center and when there is a upgrade on
the host OS, The upgrade will not happen for all of the VMs in the set at the same time so only part
of VM is taken down for maintenance. This will ensure the VM’s availability at the SLA 99.95%.

20. 20
Virtual Machine – Load Balancing
A load balanced set is simply configuring the same endpoint on multiple VMs
Cloud App
Load Balanced Port 80
Steps for Load Balancing the VM
• Create the first virtual machine
• Add an endpoint to the first virtual machine
• Add rest virtual machines to the cloud service
• Set up load balancing of the virtual machines

21. 21
Virtual Network
• Virtual Networks was one of the new features Microsoft announced on June 6.
• Used for On – Premises connectivity, Fast PASS and IAAS communication.
• Prior to Virtual Network we were using Service Bus, Windows Azure Connect.
Virtual network available in preview at no charge. The date for general availability of this service has
not yet been announced. When the service is generally available, it will be priced at $0.05 per VPN
connection-hour.

22. 22
Connection between PASS and IAAS
• PASS application can be connected to the IAAS VM’s by using the VM’s DNS name.

23. 23
• For fast connectivity, Configuring PASS and IAAS application under Virtual network.
Steps to Configure Virtual network for IAAS
• Create Virtual network
• Create VM and Select the Virtual network
Note: VM and the Virtual network should be in the same affinity group
