- 8. Basics of Windows Azure IaaS IMPRESS YOUR BOSS WITH THIS KNOWLEDGE
- 9. What is Windows Azure IaaS Microsoft’s pay-per-use infrastructure offering Two key components Virtual machines Virtual network Rich and growing list of pre-built Images Create custom images and pre-built disks Pay-per-minute pricing and MSDN discounts Allows for programmatic creation of environments
- 10. Inside an Azure Virtual Machine Windows Azure Virtual Machine (PersistentVMRole) Service OS Disk Azure Storage Data Disk Azure Storage Data Disk Azure Storage Azure Storage Data Disk
- 11. Quick Tips Disks Use more disks to increase throughput Geo-replicated disk could be out of sync Charged for actual storage with file level shrink Always use Quick Format VM Plan in advance because not all settings can be changes after a VM is created New features are not always available to existing objects
- 12. Too Good to be True? Windows Azure changes quickly Core features Portal PowerShell Limitations are often hard limits Object latency can cause unpredictability
- 13. BizTalk 2013 and IaaS TAKE BACK CONTROL
- 14. BizTalk 2013 for Windows Azure IaaS Pay per minute or bring your own license BizTalk Provisioning Tool Installed on Azure VM Images Command line tool Using XML configuration for single and multi-server configuration Service needs to run on all Machines Client runs using XML Config file on one machine Still have issues with unattended configuration
- 15. My Dream Scenario Have more if not total control over your environments (Dev and Test) Automated Self service Repeatable Secure
- 16. Lots of Options Portal REST API PowerShell
- 17. When to use the Portal Isolated single server scenarios One off scenarios Pros Simple Cons Too simple for anything more than one isolated server Some properties can not be set via the Portal Not scriptable
- 19. Windows Azure REST API Allows programmatic access to Azure Exposes more than the portal Authentication via certificates Supports A-Sync operations Versioned
- 20. When to use the Azure REST API Programmatic access to Azure through .Net, BizTalk, SharePoint Multi-user build out Works great with the BizTalk REST Adapter Pros Once understood, easy to use Support for more than one Subscription Cons Authentication is BizTalk like (Azure360?) Documentation is sometimes wrong My Vision Self service portals Virtual Labs and demos
- 21. Demo REST API Tool and BizTalk REST Adapter
- 22. Windows Azure PowerShell Commands Downloadable commands to do Azure task via PowerShell New features added often Easily understood since its PowerShell 3rd Parties have created custom commands Use remote PowerShell on VMs
- 23. When to use PowerShell Scripts Individuals doing build outs Pros Universal adoption Easily customizable Cons Initial setup and troubleshooting is a pain Frequent releases that could break existing scripts Poor documentation on new changes Do not forget to run as Administrator
- 24. BizTalk IaaS PowerShell Scripts Single server installation and configuration (BROKEN) Uses the supplied BizTalk 2013 Evaluation Image (Well, it did) Full, end to end setup and configuration of BizTalk Very hacky About 50 hours to create
- 25. BizTalk IaaS PowerShell Scripts Full domain build out Uses Enterprise Images for BizTalk and SQL Understand the cost impacts of this Doman Controller Add BizTalk domain users and groups SQL Server Two BizTalk Servers BizTalk configuration is manual Over 150 hours, mostly on unattended configuration
- 26. Demo PowerShell
- 27. Scenarios Ready now Dev and Test environments Environment creation as part of nightly build and unit testing Less BizTalk Configuration for multi-server Depending on scenario Production, single server BizTalk Environments Geo located Use BizTalk 2013 features
- 28. Review Windows Azure IaaS is simple to use Scripting allows for easy environment creation BizTalk plays nicely with Windows Azure IaaS
