Windows Azure Architecture

The Fabric Controller communicates with every server within the Fabric. It manages Windows Azure, monitors every application, decides where new applications should run – optimizing hardware utilization.

Windows Azure Architecture Details

Computation provides application scalability. Developers can build a combination of web and worker roles. Those roles can be replicated as needed to scale the applications and computational processing power.

Storage Services allow customers to scale to store large amounts of data – in any format – for any length of time, only paying for what they use or store.

The Fabric Controller automates load balancing and computes resource scaling

Security and Control Features include storage encryption, access authentication, and over-the-wire encryption using HTTPS. Industry certification is part of the Windows Azure roadmap.

Geographically distributed, state-of-the-art data centers host your applications and data, internet-accessible from everywhere you choose to allow.

“ With Azure, your ability to deliver solutions becomes much faster and you can really innovate and be competitive.”

– Jitendra Thethi, Principle Architect

“ Cloud computing democratizes access to carrier-class data center technology with better performance, higher efficiency, and lower costs; Microsoft’s Azure adds to that integration with a first-class development platform, decades of operations experience, and a developer toolbox of customizable services.”

– Brian Mathews - VP Autodesk Labs

“ Making a reliable cloud application can be really hard, and Azure uses .NET and Visual Studio tools we already know and that we already know how to put out into a marketplace. That's very helpful for us and it's helpful for our customers.”

– Erik Johnson, Research Director

Appendix

Fabric Controller

Interacts with a “Fabric Agent” on each machine

Monitors every VM, application and instance

Performs load balancing, check pointing and recovery

Compute in Windows Azure

GOAL:SCALABILITYScale out by replicating worker instances as needed.

Allow applications to scale user and compute processing independently.

Two instance types: Web Role & Worker RoleWindows Azure applications are built with web role instances, worker role instances, or a combination of both.

Each instance runs on its own VM (virtual machine), replicated as needed

Storage in Windows AzureGOAL:SCALABLE, DURABLE STORAGE

Windows Azure storage is an application managed by the Fabric Controller

Windows Azure applications can use native storage or SQL Azure

Application state is kept in storage services, so worker roles can replicate as needed

Blobs: large, unstructured data (audio, video, etc)

Tables: simply structured data, accessed using ADO.NET Data Services

Queues: serially accessed messages or requests, allowing web-roles and worker-roles to interact

Services Management in Windows Azure

GOAL:AUTOMATED APPLICATION MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL

Fabric

The Fabric Controller automates service management

Building Solutions with the Windows Azure Platform

SQL Azure: Scalable, relational, Cloud-enabled database services

.NET Services: Framework for access control and communication between Cloud-aware applications
