What is the cloud?

An approach to computing that’s about internet scale and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints

What is the cloud?

An approach to computing where someone else does all the hard work of maintaining your stuff, allowing you to focus on bigger problems like…

What is Windows Azure?

Windows Azure isa place to run your

applications.

Or store your data.

OR store your data.

Or both.

And a lot of other stuff too…

And a LOT of other stuff too…

CDN, Distributed Caching, Azure Active Directory, Media Services, Mobile Services, Service Bus, Notification

Hubs, Traffic Manager, etc…

A place to run your apps…

Cloud services Web sites Virtual machinesMore Control Focus on the

App

3 Choices

Virtual machinesDeploy, customize, & image a VM with your app.Windows Server and LinuxFlexible Workload SupportVirtual Private Networking

Cloud servicesDeploy your code as a package (zip)Run 1 dedicated server, Run manyNo worries about the OS (Windows Server)Automated application management

Web sites Easiest way to go!Build with ASP.NET, Node.js, Python, or PHPDeploy in seconds with FTP, Git or TFSStart for free, scale up as your traffic grows

Windows Azure Storage Abstractions

TablesStructured storage. A table is a set of entities; an entity is a set of properties.

QueuesReliable storage and delivery of messages for an application.

BlobsSimple named files along with metadata for the file.

DrivesDurable NTFS volumes for Windows Azure applications to use. Based on Blobs.

IdentityIntegrate with enterprise identityEnable single sign-on within your appsEnterprise Graph REST API93% of Fortune 1000 use Active Directory

Service busSecure messaging and relay capabilitiesEasily build hybrid appsEnable loosely coupled solutions

Mobile ServicesPush notificationsUser data & authenticationSupports Windows 8, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android

$$$$?...

While we’re on the topic of money…

What’s Windows Azure

going to cost me?

Compute + Storage + Bandwidth = Majority of

Cost

+ fees for additional services (i.e. CDN, ACS, Caching, etc) =

Total Cost

Let’s Digest & Discuss OSS on

Azure!

I can run Linux in Azure?!

I can run PHP in Azure?!

I can run Python in Azure?!

I can run Ruby in Azure?!

I can run Mongo DB in Azure?!

I can run Node.js in Azure?!

Yes! Yes. You. CAN!

Yes! Yes. You. CAN!And without a bunch of crazy hacks!
