Motivating Challenges for AppFabric

How do you integrate with components outside your corporate network?How do you control access to resources that are exposed?How do you easily leverage existing identity stores?How do you get better performance and reduced data access latencies?

Windows Azure AppFabric can help!

Windows Azure AppFabricWhat is it?

@dmakogon: An evolving set of consumption-based app building-blocks to help scale and secure your app, and integrate with existing apps.

@ryancrawcour: Collection of Cloud services to enable integrating Cloud applications.

@sarangbk: A collection of distributed application enablers that currently include connectivity, authentication, caching, and durable messaging.

@davidpallmann: Enterprise readiness for the cloud.

@bertcraven: “Cloud plumbing”.

@pketal: Efficient, reliable, enterprise level caching, service bus and access control service.

Access ControlWhat is it?

Makes it easy to authenticate and authorize usersIntegration Single Sign On and centralized authorization into your web applicationsStandards-based identity providers

Enterprise directories (e.g. Active Directory Federation Server v2.0)Web identities (e.g. Windows Live ID, Google, Yahoo!, and Facebook)
