Cloud Computing Patterns t Compute Inactivity Period t t t On and Off On & off workloads (e.g. batch job) Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome Unpredictable Bursting Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Cant over provision for extreme cases Compute Growing Fast Successful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge Cannot provision hardware fast enough Compute Predictable Bursting Services with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demand IT complexity and wasted capacity Compute

Slide 14

Whenever you save something in the storage system, in the background we automatically replicate the data to another datacenter This feature can be turned off if you dont want this to happen > 500 miles Windows Azure Storage Continuous storage geo-replication

Slide 15

Web sites Build with ASP.NET, Node.js or PHP Deploy in seconds with FTP, Git or TFS Start for free, scale up as your traffic grows

Slide 16

Cloud services Cloud Services is another model we support for building applications Build highly scalable apps and services You might have a combination of front ends, middle tiers, as well as virtual machines running as part of your solution Automated application management

Slide 18

Application building blocks

Slide 19

Multiple programming languages A new option is Python, with a complete SDK and dev center For each option we provide libraries that you can consume that call into the REST APIs that we expose for the building block services You can also call the REST APIs directly

Slide 21

Blob storage A highly available, scalable, and secure file system in the cloud Store any type of data Expose storage through HTTP URLs and make it public or you can make it private Create a new storage account in a few minutes Continuous geo-replication is enabled by default for storage accounts

Slide 22

Service bus Secure messaging and relay capabilities Securely integrate cloud based solutions with on premise environments Enable loosely coupled solutions Cross platform libraries so you can use service bus from any OS
