What is Azure?

Introduction

• Open & Flexible public cloud platform

• Pay-as-you-go

• Large worldwide network of datacenters

• Deploy any type of application

Public cloud providers

Azure regions

Services

Compute

CDN

Data Services

Networking

Storage

Web & Mobile

Virtual Machines

• Infrastructure as a Service

• Use it for any OS or tool that you want to run

• You are responsible for the OS, patching/updates and security

Cloud Services

• Platform as a Service

• Sitecore Azure Module

• Web role and worker roles are fully configurable VM

• Can be scaled manually or automatically on metrics (CPU, Memory etc)

• Deployments are stateless

• Microsoft currently requires at least two instances, to meet SLA requirements

App Services

• Platform as a Service

• Will be supported by Sitecore as of version 8.2

• No access to VM, all configuration through portal/files

• Easier and faster to setup

• SLA already valid for 1 instance

Why Azure?

Cloud vs. On-premise

• Only scale when necessary

• Optimized for high availability

Sitecore on Azure
