Outline

•To run applications ,it has to be built on some kind of platform.

For on-premises applications, this platform usually includes an operating system, some way to store data.

Which is physically installed on the computer

What is cloud computing

Azure is a platform Windows Azure platform is an internet-scale

cloud services platform hosted through Microsoft data centers.

The platform includes:Windows Azure

operating system

SQL Azure

What is Azure ?

App Fabric

servers owned and operated by Microsoft.

Windows Azure is a:

cloud services operating system that allows developers to run applications and

store data:

How it works

Amer hashimi

The development fabric runs on a single desktop or server machine. It emulates the functionality of Windows Azure in the cloud, complete with Web roles, Worker roles, VM roles, and all three Windows Azure storage options. A developer can build a Windows Azure application, deploy it to the development fabric, and run it in much the same way as with the real thing. He can determine how many instances of each role should run, for example, use queues to communicate between these instances, and do almost everything else that’s possible using Windows Azure itself. Once the application has been developed and tested locally, the developer can upload the code and its configuration information, then run it.

1 Focus on development not infrastructure.

No need to buy servers or dedicate resources to infrastructure management.

Amer hashimi

Each application that is deployed to Windows Azure runs on one or more Virtual Machines (VMs). These deployed applications behave as though they were on a dedicated computer, although they might share physical resources such as disk space, network I/O, or CPU cores with other VMs on the same physical host. A key benefit of an abstraction layer above the physical hardware is portability and scalability. Virtualizing a service allows it to be moved to any number of physical hosts in the data center. By combining virtualization technologies, commodity hardware, multi-tenancy, and aggregation of demand, Microsoft can achieve economies of scale. These generate higher data center utilization (that is, more useful work-per-dollar hardware cost) and, subsequently, savings that are passed along to you.

2 Respond faster to customer needs.

• Familiar development tools (Visual Studio)

• get you started quickly.

• Test and debug applications locally

Advantages Windows Azure

3 Use your existing skills in the cloud.

• Use your skills with the .NET framework to build and compelling applications.

• Java, PHP.

• like building a traditional Windows application.

• Project templates
