Environment
• OS: Vista+ • Provides local devfabric • Provides libraries and
• Must enable local IIS and dev storage tools to use ACS and
features • Complete local Service Bus
• Visual Studio 2008+ simulation of the cloud • Includes ACM.exe and
• Must run as local fabric AF Configuration
Admin • 90% of the local Management Browser

• .NET 3.5 sp1

• Local SQL instance
• Includes handy project

• Deployment and
management tools
• Includes client storage

14. The Fabric Controller
• Automates load balancing and computes
resource scaling.
• It communicates with every server within
the Fabric.
• Monitors application and optimizing
hardware utilization.
Computation = CPU Storage Services
• Provides application • Store large amount of
scalability. data
• Web and Worker roles. • Format from Image to
• Scale Up and Down the text
processing power. • Paying for what they use
or store.

15. Fabric Controller
• Interacts with a “Fabric
Agent” on each machine
• Monitors every VM,
application and instance
The Fabric Controller • Performs load balancing,
automates service check pointing and recovery
management

16. Compute in Windows Azure
GOAL:
SCALABILITY Two instance types: Web Role & Worker Role
Windows Azure applications are built with
Scale out by replicating instances as web role instances, worker role instances,
needed. or a combination of both.
Allow applications to scale
user and compute processing
independently.
Each instance runs on
its own VM (virtual
machine), replicated as
needed.

17. GOAL:
SCALABLE, DURABLE
STORAGE Tables: simply Queues: serially accessed
structured data,
Blobs: large, messages
accessed using
unstructured or requests, allowing
Windows Azure storage is an data (audio,
ADO.NET Data web-roles and worker-
application managed by the Services
video, etc) roles to interact
Fabric Controller
Windows Azure applications can use
native storage or SQL Azure
Each item in storage is stored in triplicate.
