Web Sites Scale
 Scale Out (Shared Instances)
 Instances of application are running on
different web workers
 Shared capacity constrained applied
 Ideal for stateless applications
 Scale Up (Reserved Instances)
 Application is running on dedicated box
 No Shared resource capacity limitations

Microsoft Azure Cloud Services
 Cloud Services provides Platform as a Service (Paas) to build high
available and scalable applications
 Most advanced compute option
 Supports multi-tier architectures
 Automated application management

Role Types
 Web Role : The role is hosted on IIS
 Worker Role : The role is an executable (you can create your own web
server, host a database, …)
 VM Role : The role is a non persistence VM.
 Use Windows services, scheduled tasks, etc.
 You configure and maintain the OS.

Worker Role Patterns
 Queue Polling Worker
 Poll and Pop Messages within while(true) loop
 E.g. Map/Reduce pattern, background image processing
 Listening Worker Role
 Create TcpListener or WCF Service Host
 E.g. Run a .NET SMTP server or WCF Service
 External Process Worker Role
 OnStart or Run method executes Process.Start()
 Startup Task installs or executes background/foreground process
 E.g. Run a database server, web server, distributed cache

Microsoft Azure Cloud Services
 Windows Server 2008/R2, 2012/R2 (64bit)
 .NET 4.0 and .NET 4.5
 Full Trust
 IIS7 - 8 Web Sites (ASP.NET, FastCGI)
 Web Services (WCF)
 Stateless Servers
 HTTP(S), TCP

Cloud Services vs Web Sites
 Cloud Services allows administrative access to your application’s VMs.
 Install arbitrary software that your application needs
 Cloud Services allow Remote Desktop connections directly to an
application’s VMs
 Cloud Services allow networking technologies such as Microsoft Azure
Virtual Network and Microsoft Azure Connect to hook on-premises
computers to Cloud Services applications.

Azure Service Bus Notification Hub
 Push notifications at scale to apps on mobile devices
 Eliminates complexity to manage push notifications
 Push notification abstraction for Windows, Windows Phone, iOS, and Android
 Pub/Sub routing using Tags
 Devices can send Tag(s), when sending its handle to a Notification Hub
 Tags provide a simple way to send notifications to users/interest group
 High Scalable
 Notification Hubs scale to millions of devices without the need of
rearchitecting or sharding.

Notification Hubs vs Development
 In short, Mobile Services is best used for communicating to a single
user whereas Notification Hubs is best used for communicating to many
users simultaneously.
