8. •Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse
•Azure SDK for Javaand AppFabric SDK for Java, Windows Azure Tools for Eclipse

9. Your Datacenter

11. •Rapid provisioning of cost-effective infrastructure for developing & testing apps with Oracle databases
•Ease of setting up & testing of N-tier apps, integration with other services in cloud & hybrid scenarios
•Dev/Test new or extend existing apps with cloud-based services (mobile services, service bus, etc)
•Test extending infrastructure (burst) into cloud for select workloads (batch processing, reporting, etc.)
Develop & Test Scenario:
•Pre-configured IaaS images (Oracle DB, Oracle Linux, WebLogic, JDK and combinations) or bring-your-own
•Powerful monitoring & management features, cross- platform tools & automation
•Extend with additional service (SQL Azure, table & BLOB storage, service bus, etc.)
•Oracle-certified virtualized environment with Microsoft as single source of support
Relevant Azure Features:
•Recommended DB size <10GB for data on System Disk
•Attach disk(s) for flexibility and improved performance
•Only standalone Oracle DB instances (no clustering)
•Configure & capture a customized image or deploy your own for rapid provisioning and automation
•Consider Virtual Networking to capture an IP & VPN for connectivity to on-premise datacenter
•Use special offers for MSDN subscribers for dev/test on Windows Azure
Considerations:
•Oracle Database clustering (RAC for Oracle DB) is not currently supported
•Current disk limit ~500IOps max per disk (non-striped)
Caution:

12. •Rapid dev/test of Java apps with a fully licensed Oracle-supported Java / JDK
•Test cloud & hybrid N-tier apps running WebLogic/Java; move on-prem& back
•Test new app/services/tiers (Java Azure SDK) & configurations without impacting current environment
Develop & Test Scenario:
•Pre-configured IaaS images (WebLogic, JDK, Oracle Database and combinations & Oracle Linux), bring-your-own VMs & WebLogic Java apps
•Easily scale out WebLogic clusters with additional VMs via portal, capturing managed VM images, cross platform tools & VM configuration / automation
•Official Oracle JDK v6 & v7, Windows Azure SDK for Java, Eclipse toolkit
•JDKs in Windows Azure Oracle images are 64-bit
•Hybrid cloud for Java apps with Oracle DB (app server/web tiers in Azure, DB on prem)
•Dynamic clusters (WLS 12c) for easy provisioning/mgmt
•Easily grow WebLogic cluster by capturing/deploying from a snapshot of your managed VM
•Automate creating/deploying managed VMs for WebLogic clusters with PowerShell/azure-cli & WLST
•Virtual Networking/subnets for multi-tier architecture & VPN for on-premdatacenter connectivity
•Integration with other Azure services (mobile services, message queues, etc) for net new or re-architected apps
Considerations:
•UDP multicasting not supported, recommend WLS cluster size to be kept static at <=10 managed servers
•IPv6 support in WLS not applicable to Azure
•Windows Azure cannot load balance multiple instances of WebLogic servers in a single VM
Caution:
•Realize scale, lower costs by moving select Java/WebLogicapps to cloud (web and app server tiers)
•Ease of provisioning/configuring scale-out infrastructure for WebLogic clusters,
•Extend your existing apps / services with new features, add integrate with Azure services (mobile, service bus, media services, etc) & 3rdparty solutions (NewRelic)
Relevant Azure Features:
Extend your Environment:

13. (GA)

15. Attach multiple disks
presenting those disks to ASM directly.
Not using storage pools
Concurrency didn’t make a noticeable difference in either of the above approaches.
The host cache was OFF in both.

16. IaaS
•Windows or Linux VMs
•Official Oracle JDK v6 & v7
•Pre-configured VMs
•Oracle WebLogic, VM Depot Java Image, or your own JVM
PaaS
•64 bit OpenJDKbuild by Azul (Zulu)
•Or bring any VM
•Eclipse plugin for deployment, monitoring and management
Services
•Windows Azure SDK for Java: Blob, table, queue, service bus, SQL, etc
•Other Azure SDKs and azure-cli / tools

17. “This initiative is all about bringing Java to the masses in the cloud. We will be providing a fully open and unconstrained Java environment –with open choice of third-party stacks – for developers and essential applications deployed on Windows Azure.”
Scott Sellers, Azul Systems President and CEO+ Java

18. •Call center solution
•Scale, management & efficiency + heterogeneity
•Java EE / JBoss
•3-day windows azure lab
•Looked at Google / Amazon
•SQL Azure
•BI & Analytics extension
•Fast time to market, flexible development & scale
•Java / Tomcat + Jiffy/Solr
•Time pressure (3 mo)
•Table storage & Cloud Services / PaaSScaleSpeed
•HPC middleware (case study)
•Shorten sales cycle by 70%, increase revenue
•Java on Linux + Postgres
•Strategic alignment w/ MS
•Moved away from AWS / EC2 because of Windows skillset
•SQL AzureSkills
