MongoDB on Windows Azure provides all the benefits customers have come to expect from cloud computing: elasticity, on-demand capacity, faster time to market, and pay-for-what-you-use pricing.

• MongoDB offers built-in support for horizontal scaling and sharding

• Windows Azure offers built-in support for responsive auto-scaling

Deploying to Virtual Machines

– Compared to worker role (PaaS), VM-basedreplica sets offer more control, aswell as more responsibility

– MongoDB Installer for Windows Azure is a great learning tool. Not typically used for production deployment.• Puts MongoDB on OS disk instead of attached disk• Limited to 30gb, not performant for writes, Windows-only• http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+on+Azure+VM+-+Windows+Insta

• .\deploy-mongo.ps1 <node-count> <dns-prefix> <image-name> <password> <location> <pub-settings-file-path> [replica-set-name]

– For Linux VM deployment, see tutorial - http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+on+Azure+VM+-+Linux+Tutorial

IaaS – where to learn more• MongoDB on Azure VM - http://

www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+on+Azure+VM• Install MongoDB on a virtual machine running CentOS Linux in Windows Azure:

• Install MongoDB on a virtual machine running Windows Server 2008 R2 in Windows Azure:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/windows/common-tasks/install-mongodb/

• Node.js Web Application with Storage on MongoDB (Virtual Machine):http://waweb.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/tutorials/website-with-mongodb-(mac)/

• Create a Windows Azure web site that connects to MongoDB running on a virtual machine in Windows Azure:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/tutorials/website-with-mongodb-vm/

PaaSDeploying MongoDB replica sets on

Windows Azure worker roles (cloud services)

Deploying MongoDB as a Cloud Service

– Windows Azure cloud servicesrun on a fully automated, highlyscalable cloud platform

– Ongoing management of the OS and infrastructure is handled by Windows Azure

– Infinitely scalable, on demand– App and MongoDB in same cloud service provides security – PaaS approach is the easiest way to deploy MongoDB on

Windows Azure– For quick and simple deployment, use the MongoDB on

Azure Worker Role:http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/MongoDB+on+Azure+Worker+Roles
