2. What is Service Fabric?
Open Sourced technology from Microsoft
http://github.com/Microsoft/service-fabric
The platform that is used to run a lot of Azure
Resource providers to CosmosDB or Intune
Distributed systems platform
cluster technology
Data-aware platform
enables stateful distributed application without any central data store in the platform
Microservices platform

12. How you write your applications
Service Fabric Native applications
• Low-level control of Service Fabric platform primitives
• .NET and Java frameworks tightly integrated with runtime lifecycle
• Several different programming models
• Allows processes or containers
Service Fabric Resources
• Loosely coupled individually deployable resources
• Decoupled from runtime lifecycle
• Universal model for any language, framework, or arbitrary application
• Everything runs in containers
• Run Docker Compose workloads on Service Fabric
• Limited Service Fabric integration
• Portability for existing applications described by Docker Compose
• Everything runs in containers

16. Service Fabric Resources
Applications and Services
Networks and Gateways
Volumes
Routing rules
Auto-scale rules
A deployment model composed of individual resources.
Anything that can be deployed to Service Fabric is a resource.

18. Service Fabric Resources
Any language, any framework
• No Service Fabric frameworks or base classes. Just containers.
• Service Fabric libraries provide integration with the Service Fabric environment.

19. Application and Service Resources
Services describe how a set of containers run
• Container image, environment variables, CPU/Memory requirements, endpoints, etc.
• References to other resources, such as networks, volumes, and secrets.
• Applications are a group of services.

20. Open Network
(Internet)
Gateway and networks
Gateway connects two networks and routes traffic
• L4 routing: TCP
• L7 routing: HTTP(S)
Service A
Service C
Service BGateway
Isolated Network
22. Reliable Collections
Co-located H/A storage available to your applications
Partitioning for horizontal scaling
Replaces external low-latency distributed key value stores
23. Reliable Collections
Data provider services
• High-value data
• Databases
• Volume stores
• Message buses
• Event stores
Applications
• Data that can be rehydrated
• Queues
• Caches
• Session state
• Checkpoints, snapshots, aggregates

27. Secrets Resource
Inline or stored in Azure Key Vault
• Applications and service resources have Managed Service Identity (MSI) with AAD to be
able to access secrets in Azure Key Vault
• Secrets and certificates can be auto-rolled over with policies
