Windows Azure Platform Appliance

• Windows Azure Platform in your datacenter– Designed for unlimited scale & multi-tenancy– Identical to the hardware in Microsoft’s

datacenters– Delivered by a choice of hardware partners

• Benefits– Platform as a Service – Physical Control– Geographic Proximity– Regulatory Compliance– Data Sovereignty

• Currently in development with several partners– Fujitsu, Dell, HP, and eBay

Anatomy of a Windows Azure Cloud Service

A Windows Azure service consists ofAn isolation boundaryA set of component roles, each with endpointsNumbered, multiple instances of each role

A Windows Azure application behaves correctly when any role instance fails.All of this is specified in a service model

Worker Role

Web Role

GOAL:SCALABLE, DURABLE STORAGEWindows 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 WCF Data Services

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