Editor's Notes
- The services we just reviewed are running in Microsoft’s datacenters on the Windows Azure platform. How does this help enterprise and service providers meet their goals?Core to delivering on the Cloud OS promise is enabling parity of application owner experiences irrespective of where the underlying infrastructure may reside: on premises, in a hosted environment, or on Windows Azure. To do that, we need to ensure that tenant end-users have uniform self-service and management experiences to consume the infrastructure needed by their application services for both Windows Azure and Windows Server environments. Enterprises and service providers are already running a sophisticated operating system, virtualization and management platform in Windows Server with System center on their own compute/storage/network infrastructure in their own datacenters.As we’ve already seen, our cloudOS vision drives consistency across Windows Azure, enterprise and service provider environments. The Windows Azure Pack takes Windows Azure technology developed for Microsoft’s datacenters and <click> repurposes it to provide the same capabilities running on System Center, Windows Server on customers’ infrastructure. CloudOS becomes reality. We have found Azure to be a great environment for developing and testing highly distributed cloud services and now we’re bringing all the technology to hosting service providers as part of the technology found in Windows Server and System Center. As you can see, we now have consistency in portal, API and select services across Microsoft, Service Provider and Enterprise. Why is this useful? Well if you reflect back to our discussion on the wants and needs of service providers and enterprise looking to act as internal service providers, this technology meets these needs:Attract enterprise customer workloads to service providers through familiar experienceSelf service IaaSBilling, usage based pricingAutomationIntegration and customizationEtcNow, with the Preview of Windows Azure Pack, you as enterprise or service provider can have Azure technology running in your datacenter – today. It’s important to note that these services are deployed on your existing infrastructure, meaning you do not need to make new infrastructure investments to make this vision a reality, but can leverage what you already own.
- Once created, the administrator can monitor resource usage in the cloud.
- Talking pointsNetworking is fundamental to the datacenter and customers are generally familiar with how it’s done – so networking is just taken as a “given”. We believe there’s lot of upside in helping customers rethink how they approach networking (through a combination of software and hardware) in a private or hybrid cloud computing environment. To transform networking, customers need to think about networking in the same way that they think about compute – i.e. as a shared, automated pool of capacity. They also need to think about how to reduce operational complexity in networking. Finally, they need a solution that can seamlessly bridge on-premises and off-premises networks. To address the above, Microsoft is committed to delivering on an open, extensible & standards-based solution that has its origin in how we deliver networking for global hi-scale online services like Windows Azure or Bing. It turns out that our key learning is centered around the promises of flexibility, automation and control. Specific bulletsIsolated virtual networks running on shared network infrastructure (delivered in System Center 2012 SP1) – Hyper-V Network Virtualization in Windows Server 2012 is key to abstracting the physical network intricacies from apps/workloads. This is key to meeting the multi-tenancy and isolation requirements that exist in service provider or large enterprise IT organizations (that serve multiple LOB constituents or dev/test/production environments). This needs to be reiterated as it is the foundation of our software-defined promise and solves a key customer need today. Many customers have asked us for the ability to deeply integrate Hyper-V networking into their existing network infrastructure, their existing monitoring and security tools, or with other types of specialized functionality – to meet that need, Windows Server 2012 also introduced the Hyper-V Extensible Switch that enables easy extensions of our hypervisor platform. In-box multitenant edge gateway for seamless connectivity between physical & virtual networks – This software-based (i.e. VM based) gateway will help customers easily extend their datacenter into a service provider environment by providing a termination point for site to site connectivity and enabling end-users access company resources that might be hosted at the service provider. Simultaneously, the gateway will be multitenant aware and hence enables the service provider to drive operational efficiency by enabling multiple customer connections terminate on it. More importantly, the gateway enables seamless bridging between the customers’ physical and virtual networks (NVGRE based) by offering the necessary translation, thereby enabling broader adoption of hybrid networking with bring-your-own-IP (BYOIP) enablement. The gateway is expected to be production ready from a scale and performance perspective (for metrics like number of tenants per gateway VM and throughput). We expect high availability configuration to become available closer to when System Center 2012 R2 will be commercially available. System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager is needed to provision and configure remote access and Hyper-V Network Virtualization in this context. Tenants can configure and manage connectivity (from their site to the service provider) through the Windows Azure Pack. Enable easy end-user access into virtualized network infrastructure - System Center 2012 R2 enables configuration of tenant end user access into the virtualized networks hosted at the service provider datacenter. This is done in conjunction with the Windows Server RRAS role. OMI-based plug-in for automated TOR switch configuration - Transforming the datacenter involves abstracting storage, compute and network resources from their underlying physical hardware and manage them in a standardized manner. To support this thinking, Microsoft will enable a plugin for System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager to manage top-of-rack network switches that support OMI. We’re working with our networking OEM partners to assure availability of compatible network gear. Partner ecosystem support – A variety of partners have extended their support to offer solutions like merchant silicon, Hyper-V Extensible Switch extensions and network virtualization gateways. We will continue to work with these partners to offer customers the choice of networking solutions to best meet their needs.
- The Management Portal can be used to scale websites, and to specify whether if they can run in Shared website mode or Reserved website mode.Shared modeWhen a website is first created it runs in Shared mode, meaning that it shares available compute resources with other subscribers that are also running websites in Shared mode.A single instance of a website configured to run in Shared mode will provide somewhat limited performance when compared to other configurations but should still provide sufficient performance to complete development tasks or proof of concept work. If a website that is configured to run in a single instance using Shared mode is put into production, the resources available to the website may prove to be inadequate as the average number of client requests increases over time. Before putting a website into production, estimate the load that the website will be expected to handle and consider scaling up or scaling out the website by changing configuration options available on the website's Scale management page.References:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/web-sites/how-to-scale-websites/#reservedmode
- When a website’s mode is changed from Shared to Reserved the website is scaled up to run on a single dedicated core with access to additional memory, disk space and bandwidth.
- References:http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/manage/services/web-sites/how-to-scale-websites/#reservedmode
- When creating a new Web site, tenants can choose from a gallery of popular, pre-configured web applications.Where needed, the application can automatically provision and configure database (SQL or MySQL) Administrators can tailor the list of web applications available in the gallery
- For a custom website where the gallery doesn’t provide a suitable application, tenants can provision a blank website and upload their web application to the empty folder.Developer tools, including Visual Studio and WebMatrix, are deeply integrated into the Web Sites on Windows Server user experience, decreasing onboarding costs and increasing customer satisfaction.Integration with source control allows developers to rapidly iterate and deploy changes. Built in rollback functionality allows customers to revert web site changes with a few clicks of the mouse.Source control repositories such as GitHub, Team Foundation Server and others can be configured to automatically push updates to the running web site which will pick up the latest changes and deploy them to the live website.
- Service Bus Queues support a brokered messaging communication model. When using queues, components of a distributed application do not communicate directly with each other, they instead exchange messages via a queue, which acts as an intermediary. A message producer (sender) hands off a message to the queue and then continues its processing. Asynchronously, a message consumer (receiver) pulls the message from the queue and processes it. The producer does not have to wait for a reply from the consumer in order to continue to process and send further messages. Queues offer First In, First Out (FIFO) message delivery to one or more competing consumers. That is, messages are typically received and processed by the receivers in the order in which they were added to the queue, and each message is received and processed by only one message consumer. Using queues can enable you to scale out your applications better, and enable more resiliency to your architecture.Between web and worker roles in a multi-tier application.Between existingdatacenter apps and Windows Azure Pack hosted apps for a hybrid solution.Between components of a distributed application running on-premises in different organizations or departments of an organization.
- Service Bus topics and subscriptions support a publish/subscribe messaging communication model. When using topics and subscriptions, components of a distributed application do not communicate directly with each other, they instead exchange messages via a topic, which acts as an intermediary.In contrast to Service Bus queues, where each message is processed by a single consumer, topics and subscriptions provide a one-to-many form of communication, using a publish/subscribe pattern. It is possible to register multiple subscriptions to a topic. When a message is sent to a topic, it is then made available to each subscription to handle/process independently.A topic subscription resembles a virtual queue that receives copies of the messages that were sent to the topic. You can optionally register filter rules for a topic on a per-subscription basis, which allows you to filter/restrict which messages to a topic are received by which topic subscriptions.Service Bus topics and subscriptions support a publish/subscribe messaging communication model. Components of a distributed application do not communicate directly with each other, they instead exchange messages via a topic, which acts as an intermediary.Subscriptions provide a one-to-many form of communication, using a publish/subscribe pattern. subscriptions enable you to scale to process a very large number of messages across a very large number of users and applications.
