MongoDB + Windows Azure

• MongoDB designed to run in the cloud• Windows Azure supports multiple architectures for

MongoDB deployment• The combination of MongoDB and Windows Azure

provides many benefits:• High scalability and elasticity• On-demand capacity• Pay for only what you use• Faster time-to-market

MongoDB + Windows Azure benefits

Flexible

• PaaS or IaaS deployment• Java, PHP, Node.JS, .NET, or Python• Many OS options including Windows Server, CentOS,

Ubuntu, SUSE

Scalable

• MongoDB’s built-in support for horizontal scaling and sharding

• Windows Azure’s built-in support for responsive auto-scaling

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

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

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

Deploying to Virtual Machines

• Compared to worker role, 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+I

• .\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.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/linux/common-tasks/mongodb-on-a-linux-vm/

Scripting Capabilities• Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets• Cross Platform Scripting Built on node.js• Service Management APICapabilities:• Provisioning, Removal• Reboot, Start• Import and Export VM settings• Support for Windows and Linux VMs• Fully Customize VM with Data Disks and Endpoint Configuration• Automate Virtual Network Settings
