 Microsoft Windows Azure
Windows Azure y SQL Azure permiten construir, alojar y
escalar aplicaciones en los centros de datos de Microsfot.
Como toda solucin para Cloud Computing slo pagas por los recursos
que usas
Es un sistema operativo en la nube
Centros de datos distribuidos por el planeta

 Microsofts Windows Azure
Platform
Windows Azure es un servicio utilizado para ejecutar
aplicaciones y guardar datos en mquinas de Microsoft
accesibles va Internet
Proporciona tres componentes:
El servicio Compute ejecuta aplicaciones con web role y worker role
El servicio Storage permite guarda datos como blobs, tables y queues
El Windows Azure Fabric proporciona una API para gestionar y
monitorizar aplicaciones que usan la plataforma Azure

 Windows Azure Roles
Web Role
for web application programming in ASP.NET or PHP
single HTTP endpoint and a single HTTPS endpoint for external clients
Worker Role
for performing work on behalf of the web role
may be written in .NET, Ruby, Java
to improve scalability by increasing parallelism and asynchronicity
used for background work
internal endpoints for HTTP, TCP
may receive work from Windows Azure Storage Queues

17
 Interaccin con el Resto de Azure
Web and Worker Roles
can make outbound HTTP/S or .NET Framework class
library socket connections to Internet accessible resources
can access Windows Azure Storage services via REST APIs
or the Windows Azure Storage Client Library

18
 Windows Azure Data Storage
Tables
provides scalable, available, and durable structured (or semi-
structured) storage in the form of tables.
contain entities, and the entities contain properties.
are scalable to billions of entities and terabytes of data, and
may be partitioned across thousands of servers.
support ACID transactions over single entities and rich queries
over the entire table.
Simple and familiar .NET and REST programming interfaces
are provided via ADO.NET Data Services.

 Windows Azure Data Storage
Tables: Conceptos
Table contains a set of entities.
Entity (Row) Entities are the basic data items stored in a table.
Property (Column) This represents a single value in an entity.
PartitionKey The first key property of every table. The system uses this
key to automatically distribute the tables entities over many storage
nodes.
RowKey A second key property for the table. This is the unique ID of
the entity within the partition it belongs to.
Timestamp Every entity has a version maintained by the system.
Partition A set of entities in a table with the same partition key value.
Sort Order There is a single index provided for the CTP, where all entities
in a table are sorted by PartitionKey and then RowKey

 SQL Azure
Highly available, scalable, and consistent distributed
relational database; geo-replication and geo-location
of data
Relational database, provided as a service
Highly symmetrical development and tooling experience
(use TDS protocol and T-SQL)
Highly scaled out, on commodity hardware
Built on the SQL Server technology foundation
Editions: Web (1GB), Business (10GB)

24
 SQL Azure vs. Windows Azure
Tables
SQL Azure Tables:
Fully structured
Strongly typed
Relational (RDMS)
Highly scalable
Windows Azure Tables:
Semi-structured
Loosely typed
Non-Relational (Not RDMS)
Massively scalable

 Windows Azure SDK
Se descarga de:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/sdk/
Dos opciones:
All-In-One installation
Se integra con Visual Studio

 Comparativa AWS, GAE y Azure
AWS es IaaS pero cada vez con ms caractersticas de PaaS
GAE y Azure son PaaS que permiten la creacin de aplicaciones (GAE slo
web) en la infraestructura Cloud de Google y Microsoft, respectivamente
AWS te permite usar tus herramientas favoritas, aunque recomienda su
uso de servicios escalables de almacenamiento, bases de datos o
mensajes a travs de interfaces REST
GAE es muy sencillo pero exige el uso de las APIs exclusivas provistas por
Google, aunque estn basadas en estndares de facto de la industria
Azure no limita el uso de .NET para las aplicaciones desplegadas aunque lo
promociona

 Patrones de Diseo en Cloud
Computing
Fuente: http://architects.dzone.com/news/cloud-
computing-patterns
1. Usar la nube para el escalado
Usar en cada momento slo los recursos necesarios
Dos mecanismos:
Passive listener model
Active worker model
2. Compartir la nube entre varios usuarios

33
 Patrones de Diseo en Cloud
Computing
3. Usar la nube para batch processing

4. Usar la nube para almacenamiento

5. Usar la nube para comunicacin

34
 Ventajas de Cloud Computing
Ahorros de costes en IT empresariales
Ordenadores de bajo coste para los usuarios
Costes ms bajos en infraestructura IT
Costes de software ms bajos
Mejora del rendimiento global
Elasticidad para conseguir una escalabilidad superior
Menos problemas en mantenimiento
Actualizaciones inmediatas de software
Capacidad de almacenamiento ilimitada
Incremento de la seguridad de los datos (safety)
35
 Desventajas de Cloud Computing
Requiere una conexin a Internet continua y rpida
Puede ofrecer bastante latencia
Caractersticas disponibles todava limitadas
Falta de confianza
Los datos guardados pueden ser accedidos por otros
Nuestros datos ya no estn en la empresa
Problemas legales (LODP): Safe Harbor
Dependencia tecnolgica en otras compaas ajenas
Si la nube pierde los datos, ests perdido!

36
 Conclusiones
Cloud Computing nos ofrece un nuevo paradigma para alojar nuestros sistemas de
informacin, aplicaciones y datos en la nube de Internet
Son muchas las ventajas potenciales de este enfoque
Ahorro de costes, pago por uso
Escalabilidad exponencial
PERO tambin muchos los riesgos para su implantacin global inmediata
Falta de control sobre nuestros datos y sistemas
Relativa baja madurez de los productos que hacen posible Cloud Computing
Ahora estn surgiendo las herramientas y plataformas, pero tenemos que trabajar
en patrones de diseo para asegurarnos buenas prcticas en Cloud Computing
El futuro inmediato de los sistemas de informacin empresarial combinar los
enfoques tradicionales, donde los sistemas y datos se ejecutan en infraestructura
propia, con un paulatino e incremental despliegue de datos y aplicaciones a la
nube.
