Server Farm Vision

Make it simple to deploy, manage, and elastically scale web applications

across a farm of servers

Web Farm Building Blocks

Shared ConfigurationSimple redirection to a UNC shareSupported by all IIS tools and API’s

Web Deployment ToolSynchronizes web servers efficientlyReplicates IIS, content, SSL certs, GAC and more!

Application Request Router (ARR)Elastically scale your capacityIntelligently route traffic in your farm

Deploying Web ApplicationsWeb Deployment Tool

Simplify packaging and deployment from IIS manager and VS10Securely delegate application deployment to non administrators

Creating a Simple Web Farm

I need to share configuration between all my servers

I need to centrally manage my configuration with no synchronization

I need changes to just take effect with no server or app resets

Enable Shared ConfigurationFaith AllingtonProgram Manager Microsoft Corporation

Summary: Shared Config

Shared Config is great for…Simple redirection of configuration to UNC locationQuickly moving sites, applications, or serversKeeping the configuration in syncStaging and rolling back server changes

Extending my Web Farm

I need to be able to sync more than just configuration, i.e. certificates

I need to be able to deploy applications across all servers in my farm

I need to only send incremental changes across my network

Create and deploy application packagesInclude content, config, certificates and moreSynchronize and deploy between serversAutomate build and deployment tasks

Scaling out your Server Farm

I need to easily scale out a web site or application with high availability

I need to easily match capacity to demand and maximize resource utilization

Scale out using ARRFaith AllingtonProgram Manager Microsoft Corporation

demo

Summary: ARR

Proxy based HTTP request routing moduleApplication layer routing decisions (layer 7)High availability and scalability for serversSupports SSL-offloading Does not support SSL tunnelingHigher throughput by working with other IIS7 modulesCan be run on Server Core for a lightweight appliance server

Summary

Shared Config offers a low touch scenario for simple farmsThe Web Deployment Tool is a great tool to help you manage your farm

Sync serversBring new servers online

ARR enables you to create highly available farms that can scale elastically
