3. Content Windows Azure Platform Application Composition Development Environment Production Environment

4. Platform as a Service Windows Azure Compute, storage, connectivity Scalable Self-healing Application-hosting environment: Websites  web role Services  worker role Operating system  VM role

5. Windows Azure Platform

6. AppFabric Applications Windows Azure AppFabric Applications is a Community Technology Preview supporting the composition of services into an application in a manner that simplifies the development and deployment of interacting services.

7. What you get in CTP 1 AppFabric Developer Tools Application composition Package creation AppFabric Application Manager Deployment Monitoring AppFabric Container Runtime environment

8. Service Composition Services Properties Endpoints Service references Link endpoints Container Topology Scalability (instance count) Monitoring (trace level)

9. Modeled Properties Referenced services include the following properties: Service-specific definition ProvisionAction UnprovisionAction E.g. SQL Azure ProvisionAction specifies a DACPAC that can provision a SQL Azure database

10. Referenced (External) Services The following external services are supported: Service Bus Queue Service Bus Topic Service Bus Subscription Windows Azure AppFabric Caching SQL Azure Windows Azure Blob Service Windows Azure Table Service Use MEF to add other services (e.g. Bing Maps)

11. Service Groups AppFabric Applications AppFabric Container (stateless) Stateful AppFabric Container Web Container Each service group deployed to a container Horizontal scalability at the container level No vertical scalability in CTP1

12. AppFabric Container Contains the following stateless services Code WCF Service Workflow

13. Stateful AppFabric Container Contains the following stateful services: Task scheduler WCF Stateful services

14. Web Container Contains the following web-based services: ASP.NET WCF Domain Service – Web (for Silverlight) WCF Service - Web

15. Adding a Service Reference New file: ServiceReferences.g.cs Contains a class named ServiceReferences Contains method pair for each service reference: public static AppFabricContainer1.StatelessContract1.Service1.IService1 CreateImport1(); Use: CloudTableClient tableClient = ServiceReferences.CreateCloudTableClient(); tableClient.CreateTableIfNotExist(tableName);

16. Referenced Service Objects

17. Development Environment AppFabric Application storage (SQL Express) File system (C:F, C:FSdk) Windows Azure compute emulator ContainerGatewayWorkerRole (1) ContainerStatefulWorkerRole (2) ContainerStatelessWorkerRole (2) WebRole Windows Azure storage emulator

18. Development Demo Visual Studio Tooling

19. Applications Manager Applications Dashboard Overview of the deployed applications Admin log Displays deployment history Application Containers Endpoints Logs

20. Cloud - Demo Applications Manager
