Just a few of them is:
• Olympic games 2014 – we developed and host sochi2014.com, provide online streaming
for NBC Sports
• Xbox games – most of games are back-end on Azure – like Titanfall, Xbox team is biggest internal
customer
• The Romanian Ministry of Education via Siveco uses Azure for high school
admission application, ADLIC, which is used to publish high school entry test scores.

Azure accounts
• Account administrator – purchase subscription, can see all billing info
• Service administrator – can manage subscription, can’t see billing
• Service co-administrator - the like service admin, but can’t add another co-admin
The Service Administrator is a property of each Azure subscription, and it represents a person
who can login to the Developer Portal and develop against a subscription (e.g. deploy to it or
create new resources). Typically, an Account Administrator purchases an Azure subscription,
makes his or her developer the Service Administrator and now the developer can login to the
Developer Portal. A Service Administrator cannot see the subscription’s billing details in the
Billing Portal. The Service Administrator can only be changed in the Billing Portal.
A Co-Administrator is very similar to the Service Administrator, with a small difference – they
are added from within the Developer Portal and there can be multiple Co-Administrators for a
subscription but only one Service Administrator. Similar to the Service Administrator, a Co-
Administrator cannot see billing details.

Accounts setup: standard customer

Accounts setup: enterprise customer

Task #1 – Have Azure account works
• Register Azure account
• Login into portal – find account administrator, service administrator
• Check billing page
• Switch between two portals – new and old
• Setup command line tools and configure them
• Use publish settings file for configure tools

Virtual Machines
ОC: Linux, Windows, vmdepot.msopentech.com
A-series: VM for common usage ( A8-A11 – HPC VMs with high CPU/network requirements )
D-Series: For tasks where we need fast cache-like storage based on SDD
DS-series: When we need SDD persistent storage
G-series: “Godzilla” with huge amount of RAM

A Series – Basic and standard tier
•Availability: Basic tier VM is only available on A0-A4
instances, standard tier VM is available on all size instances
•Disk IOPS: Data disk IOPS for basic tier VM is 300, low
than standard tier VM which has 500 IOPS data disk.
•Price: Single tier VM can have up to 27% less in price
than standard tier VM.
•Feature cut: Basic tier VM does not include load
balancing or auto-scaling
•CPU: Standard tier have better CPU performance than
basic tier

A Series – Basic
Basic: Limited to 300 IOPS per data disk.

A Series – Standart
Standard: Gives you up to 500 IOPS per data disk, but also offers load balancing and auto-scale

A Series – Network intensive
10GB Ethernet + 2nd NIC : 32 Gbits RDMA/
The same like A8A9, only 10GB Ethernet
(no 2nd NIC with RDMA)

D Series standard
Better processors: 60% faster than A-series hosts
Host-local SSD: The host uses a local SSD volume to place the
temporary drive of the running virtual machines. This provides faster
paging and the ability to (disk) cache app/database data at ultra-high
speeds with low latency.

DS Series
Must use on of the disk specs SSD based premium storage

Godzilla series
These machines, like the D-series, make use of a host-local SSD drive to
place the temporary drive for performance. But the G-series virtual
machines are sized to provide much more RAM.

Real life example
D14 / CentOS 6.5 / $1.5 per hour 16 cores
RAM 112 Gb
Persistent storage ( blobs ) 30 Gb
Ephemeral ( SSD cache ) storage 800 GB

Azure blob storage – speed up by RAID array

Azure blob storage – speed up by RAID array
• Combining disks using Storage Spaces gives increase bandwidth in the times- from 2.8 to 9.25 times
depending on the scenario
• If you use 1 drive max speed is achieved when operations read-31,33 MB/s, while the indicator of the IOPS is
equal to its declared Microsoft (500 IOPS per disk data)
• Maximum speed when using 16 discs recorded in the script consistently record – 287,45 MB/swhen IOPS =
4599,34

CPU performance
On average, Microsoft Azure’s D-Series VMs outperformed their A-Series counterparts by 58
percent (see chart below). The difference between the A4 and D4 was only 43 percent due to
the considerable performance variation within the D4 instance

CPU variability
AMD OpteronTM Processor 4171 HE and the Intel Xeon CPU E5-2660
The AMD-based VMs exhibited a 6 percent performance advantage in integer-related
compute tasks, while the Intel-based VMs exhibited a 3 percent performance advantage in
floating point-related compute tasks

Memory bandwidth
Different types of hardware had an impact on the memory bandwidth of the A-Series.
VMs running on an AMD Opteron Processor 4171 HE showed 60% higher memory bandwidth
than VMs running on the Intel Xeon CPU E5-2660. The highest memory bandwidth observed for
the A-Series was 10.9 GB/s, whereas the highest recorded bandwidth for the D-Series was 58 percent
higher, at 17.2 GB/s.

Memory bandwidth variations
The A2, A3, D2 and D4 instances had relatively large fluctuations in memory bandwidth. The
Performance Variability for A2, A3, D2 and D4 were 20%, 24%, 27% and 52% respectively, while
the average Performance Variability for the other instances was approximately 4%

Storage performace (sequential write)
The D-Series VMs on average had 6.3X greater local sequential write IOPS than their A-Series
counterparts:

Storage performace (random write)
The D-Series VMs on average had 13.7x greater local random write IOPS than their A-Series
counterparts:

Storage performace (sequential read )
The D-Series VMs on average had 2.7x greater local sequential read IOPS than their A-Series
counterparts:

Storage performace (random read)
The D-Series VMs on average had 4.1x greater local random read IOPS than their A-Series
counterparts

Performance variability
Compared to the A-Series, whose storage PV ranged from 8 percent to 213 percent, the D-
Series showed significantly less variability. The D-Series’ storage PV mainly ranged from 0
percent to 4 percent, with only two exceptions in the random write tests (see chart below).
The
stability of the D-Series environments, however, may be attributed to a lower number of users,
thereby limiting user contention.

Compare A vs D - common information
CPU:
The D-Series’ vCPUs outperformed the A-Series’ vCPUs by 58%. A8-A11 are faster than D-series.
RAM:
The D-Series VMs displayed, on average, 65% more memory bandwidth than their A
The maximum memory bandwidth on the D-Series was 58% more than on the A-Series (17.2 GB/s vs. 10.9 GB/s).
Significant fluctuations on memory throughput were observed on the A2, A3, D2 and D4 instances.
Variability ranged from 20% to 52% of the average across the five-day testing period
Storage:
The D-Series had an average of 6.3x more IOPS than the A-Series for local storage.
The D-Series write IOPS scaled significantly as the VM sizes became larger.
The A-Series showed much more storage performance variability than the D-Series. D-Series
performance variability was under 5% for almost all measurements.

• Continuous
• Runs all the time (as a service)
• System monitors the state, and restarts if needed
• Singleton or Parallel mode
• Contiguous
• System monitor is only running when the website runs
• Hence, WebJob will only run when the website is up (sites with no traffic, sleep)
• Event triggered
• Can be bound to storage, queues, blob, tables, service bus queues,
• Execute on an event
