The Cloud Opportunity

Blue Sky: A new way to deliver software, recurring revenue, low barrier to entry

It certainly looks simple: write the services, find some hardware, maybe rent from an ISP, deploy, sit back, relax

[Really?] Reality: Writing code is one thing, actually

running it is a whole different ball game

Challenges

Hardware Network Management Security Monitoring Payment Processing Scaling Investment/Costs

Hosting Providers

Various levels of hardware, network, and security management

Various levels of initial investment and recurring costs

Various levels of scalability, but nothing resembling a massively scalable grid

Google AppEngine

Some great ideas, a massive, proven grid, but…

Python? A special version of Python? [Seriously?!] P.S.> Terms Of Service: Caveat emptor!

Amazon Elastic Cloud

A massive, proven grid, in constant use Amazon really wants to do this (big plus) But beyond the hardware and

the OS, you are on your own You still have to manage machine instances You still have to manage

application instances Scaling is “coarse grained” You are a 24/7 SysAdmin herding

invisible machines in the sky

Windows Strata

ASP.NET: Tried and true, familiar environment, wide support base

Scalable storage with simple interfaces Fine grained, smooth, transparent scaling Utility pricing that scales with you No SysAdmin required Just one massive virtual machine in the

sky (no individual instances to shepherd around, just a folder you deploy code to)

Low Barrier To Entry,Low Risk Of Lock-In

It’s just ASP.NET: You are already up and running!

It’s ASP.NET: You can always “pack up and leave”

…And because you can “pack up and leave”, chances are Microsoft will continue to make sure you always like it and stay!

That’s your leverage, and that’s more valuable than the best TOS contract

It’s true parity between software and services: You make the choice

/n software Cloud Services

We found the platform, now what? What type of developer are we targeting? What do they want? What do they need? What makes a good service?

Simplicity Ubiquity Flexibility

Principles

Good Services Are Simple

A service, like a component, is a utility, with a specific purpose

Beyond that utility, most developers want the service to do it’s job and disappear

No one cares about your great architecture but you

No one cares about your fancy interface but you

Keep it simple, keep it reliable, and like a faithful servant, try to become invisible

That’s your only true measure of success

Good Services Are Ubiquitous

Like good software components: The quality of a service is directly proportional to the extent of its use

The wider the audience, the wider the adoption, the better the service becomes

Ensure your services are accessible by as many people in as many environments as possible

Support as many access mechanisms as possible, open as many doors as you can

Good Services Are Flexible

Use simple, transparent versioning: Once you publish, you are stuck with it

We use a scheme similar to most command line utilities, and strive for strict backwards compatibility

Use simple data types: It makes it easy to support multiple environments

We support: SOAP, RSS, ATOM, CSV/TSV, HTML, JSON – and the list keeps growing

RSSBus Simple Service Engine™

It’s what powers our services Extensible architecture based on

reusable .NET libraries we call “Connectors” Allows us to support multiple protocols You may use it to provide your

own services on Windows Strata You may use it consume and

recombine services from inside our outside Windows Strata
