Microservices in Azure
- 1. Microservices in Azure How Microsoft's public cloud supports modern application architecture Doug Vanderweide, MCSE, MCSD, CTT+ https://www.dougv.com @dougvdotcom linkedin.com/in/dougvdotcom
- 2. Today's objectives "microservices," "SOA" and other termsDefine the architecture of a microservices-based applicationUnderstand the base services Azure provides to support that patternDiscover supporting services used alongside those base servicesDescribe metrics and monitoring optionsReview
- 3. What Are Microservices, Really? Or 'Service-Oriented Architecture.' Or whatever the kids are calling it these days.
- 5. We can build simple structures from a few blocks,
- 6. or very complex, integrated solutions from many blocks.
- 7. Service-Oriented Architecture • It’s just another way of saying "microservices" • Each service of an SOA/microservices-based solution: • does just one thing • is independently managed • can be reused by many different solutions • can be easily replaced by something else • adapts to its workload independently • communicates with its neighbors via standard protocols (HTTP, messages)
- 8. An n-Tier Web Application
- 9. Why This Doesn't Work Well In The Cloud Cloud-based network services are more abstract 1 Monoliths are difficult to maintain and scale 2 Requires lots of server/network configuration and admin 3 Doesn't make full use of cloud abstractions 4
- 12. Benefits Of Microservices Architecture • Recycle APIs for other uses • e.g., reservations API can place waste inventory on discount sites • Manage each service independent of other services • Problem with the authentication API? Other services stay up while you fix it • Each service scales independently • High Web UI demand? Only scale that API • Allows continuous integration/continuous delivery/automation • No more sprints ruining your weekends • Check out a branch, test it, deploy it -- all via automation
- 13. Basic Azure PaaS Options The public cloud services that host your underlying APIs/microservices
- 14. App Service • Azure Resource Manager's adoption of ASM Cloud Services • Web and Worker roles are now Web, API, Mobile, Logic or Function apps • Uses anonymous, generalized guest OS to host services • Windows and Linux • Azure handles most configuration and management • You have control over runtimes, some environment aspects
- 15. Web Apps • Used to host websites • Built for high availability • Multi-instance • Automatic load balancing/health probes • Can be scaled on a schedule or via metric • Meet anticipated or unanticipated demand • Built for CI/CD via git, VSTS, cloud file storage
- 16. Logic Apps • Used to chain together API workflows • Trigger event kicks off workflow • Workflow performs a task, using inputs • Process can be looped, building off each input • Incorporates common APIs, aka connectors • Twitter, Facebook, Google, YouTube, etc. • Available for most Microsoft and Azure SaaS workloads • Office 365, SQL Server, Dynamics, Power BI, OneDrive, etc. • Many other enterprise workloads available • Salesforce, Oracle, SAP, etc.
- 17. Mobile Apps • Intended to serve as the "back end" tooling • Effectively used to create API endpoints and data stores • Simplified management for offline data sync • SQL, NoSQL, Azure Storage • You can create your own data API, too • Used to manage push notifications (via Notification Hubs) • Provides easy SSO management • Azure Active Directory, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, Google
- 18. API Apps • Very similar to Web Apps • Adds Swagger-based API management tooling • Service discovery • Documentation • Access control / authentication
- 19. Containers Isolating workloads to speed up deployments and improve reliability
- 20. What Are Containers? • Means of packaging software and services together • System libraries, tools, services, settings, runtime and code itself • Isolates its workload from other workloads on the host • Allows you to pack several workloads onto a single guest OS host • Provides repeatable results for multiple deployments • Tends to reduce deployment time and overhead • Build the container image, create multiple instances from that image • Tends to increase deployment tempo • Simplified testing, easy versioning
- 21. Azure Container Service • Azure fully supports Docker containers • Docker Swarm and Kubernetes • Support for Mesosphere • DC/OS and Marathon • Azure Container Registry support • Pull directly to Container Service, App Service, Batch, Service Fabric
- 22. Azure Service Fabric • Microsoft's proprietary distributed systems platform • Most Azure services are hosted on Service Fabric • SQL Database, Cosmos DB, IoT Hub, Dynamics 365, etc. • Container-based • Windows, Linux, "reliable actors" • Designed to host microservices • Stateless and stateful • Runs on Azure, on-prem and even other cloud providers • Dev environment matches production environment
- 23. Serverless Azure's serverless technology, and the future of microservices
- 24. What Is Serverless? • Vendor manages all infrastructure aspects • Instances, instance size, patching, networking, availability, runtimes, etc. • You write code that can run in this predefined environment • You pay only for what you use • Number of executions • Amount of CPU and memory needed to perform the task
- 25. Functions • Azure's serverless solution • Backboned on Web Apps; effectively, they're supercharged WebJobs • Provisioned when needed, deallocated when not • Can be provisioned continuously, too • Works on trigger / input / output model • Something happens; • the function (optionally) retrieves some input; • and (usually) creates some output
- 26. Supporting Services Microservice-based architectures still need state and storage
- 27. Database Options • Azure SQL Database • Similar to SQL Server RDBMS • Cosmos DB • NoSQL (MongoDB), document, graph, table Storage • Table Storage
- 28. Storage • Azure Files • SMB-based network shares • Azure Storage • Blobs, appends and page files
- 29. State Management • Service Bus • Messaging queue, topic queue, relay queue • Guaranteed FIFO and once-only delivery • Storage Queue
- 30. Cache And Key Storage • Azure CDN • Global distribution of static/cached files • Verizon Standard and Akamai Standard • Verizon Premium (includes robust rules engine) • Redis Cache • In-memory cache / transient storage • Azure Key Vault • HSM-backed storage of secrets and keys
- 31. High Availability • Azure Traffic Manager • DNS-based routing • Global Replication • Storage, Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Azure Active Directory • Autoscaling • App Service • Functions • Container Host VMs (via metrics and VMSS)
- 32. Monitoring Automation requires exceptional metrics
- 33. Application Insights • Application Performance Management service • Collects telemetry from .NET, Java and Node.JS-based applications • Focused on Web applications/HTTP-backed services • Most microservices are delivered via HTTP • Provides feedback on performance, latency, errors, etc. • Very low overhead; about as expensive as an HTTPS cookie • Can bridge multiple services and aggregate results • New feature, in preview • Can export metrics to Power BI, other receivers (via JSON)
- 34. Operations Management Suite (OMS) • Basically SCOM for Azure/the cloud • Monitor resources regardless of location (on-prem/hybrid/SaaS) • More useful for watching service health than application performance
