Windows Azure for IT ProsKurt CLAEYS (TSP Windows Azure, Microsoft EMEA)

“What IT pros need to know about Azure”

Agenda

• Azure overview• Create a hybrid environment with Azure Virtual Network• Federated authentication with AD / ADFSv2 / ACS• Monitoring Azure roles with SCOM• VMRole

• infrastructure as a service (hardware)• Servers available in the cloud

• platform as a service (developer) • Delivery of a OS for custom, cloud enabled apps• Support for service hosting and interoperability • Relational data storage in the cloud

• software as a service (end users) = BPOS• Exchange online• Sharepoint online• Dynamics CRM online

Create a hybrid environment with Azure Virtual Network

• Hybrid = Apps in Azure need to be able to communicate with on premises machines and vice versa.

• Virtual Network = enabling direct IP-based network connectivity between machines, abstracting where the machine are located.

• Scenarios :• Connect to an on-premises SQL Server database • Domain-join Windows Azure services to local Active

Directory

VMROLE

• Ability to upload your own customized WS2008R2 Enterprise images.• Full control over the OS image, install whatever you want on it.• You can remote desktop into the OS.

• Target scenarios :• Need to use apps/libraries with no unattended setup.• Dev/Test on premises ... Production on Azure.

• Scale out !• Instances are behind loadbalancer, one public IP per service.• No durability of OS image on hardware failure.

• With VM Role, the customer creates & maintains the OS.• Paying model = Paying model of current web/workerrole.• Uses differencing disks to upload deltas to image. 16

• Web/Worker Role• The virtual image is already there, ... you upload your

app, ... Azure places this app on the image and runs the image.

• VM Role• You upload the complete virtual image with all apps

installed, ... Azure runs the image

VMRole Lifecycle

• Create a .vhd in Hyper-V manager, install W2008 R2 as OS.• Install whatever roles, features and apps you want on it.• Turn of automatics updates.• Install Windows Azure VM Role Integration Components.• Run sysprep.exe and bring it down.• Upload the .vhd to Azure (needs a certificate).• Deploy a service configuration (Visual Studio, Managament

Portal or Management API PS commandlets).
