Scenario: Web hosting with Azure
Contoso currently has:• A company intranet• Several ASP.NET applications• Several WordPress sites - Including a WordPress blog hosted in Internet Information Server (IIS). The sites are hosted on two web servers which are not load-balanced which causes downtime.
Contoso wants to implement a BI solution with SQL Server 2014 Reporting Services but is concerned about the growing number of applications that need to be accessed remotely by users with a variety of different mobile devices.
Contoso may be willing to migrate its on-premises web sites to Azure.As part of the pilot, Contoso and its Microsoft partner will work closely to create and manage a Word Press Blog, and ASP.NET website which accesses SQL Server databases in Azure as well as on-premises SQL Server data.
With this new capability, Contoso can reduce the number of on-premises servers needed to develop and run production web content, as well as provide users with easy, secure access to corporate data by integrating Azure AD with on-premises AD.

• The Add-AzureVHD cmdlet, which is part of the Microsoft Azure PowerShell module, is required to upload the VHD
• The VHDX format is not supported in Microsoft Azure. You can convert the disk to VHD format using Hyper-V Manager or the Convert-VHD cmdlet.
• The following Windows Server versions are supported:
How to Upload the VHD file to Azure
Create Virtual Machine based on VHD-file• Virtual Machine is a Hyper-V Virtual Machine
• Azure runs thousands of physical Hyper-V servers
• VHD-file (disk) can be:
• Provided by Azure (= "image")
• Provided by customer (= "uploaded vhd-file")
Getting started with VMs
• The VM is connected to the Internet.• RDP inbound is enabled by default.• RDP port 3389 cannot be used.• A strong password should be used.• The VM has unlimited outbound network access.• Who can control VM?
Security considerations
Charge Rate by the Minute• Microsoft charges for virtual machines by the minute.• Prices are listed as hourly rates and are billed based on total number of
minutes when the virtual machines run for a partial hour.
Basic Compute Tier• New tier of compute instances.• Similar in configuration to the Standard tier with lower prices.• Does not include load balancer and auto-scaling.• Well-suited for single instance production applications, development
workloads, test servers and batch processing applications that might not require these features.
Standard Compute Tier• This tier of compute instances provides an optimal set of compute, memory
and IO resources for running a wide array of applications.• These instances include both auto-scaling, load balancing, and internal
load balancing capabilities at no additional cost.• Internal load balancing feature is currently in preview.

Module 3: Azure VM networks
VMNet Overview
Site-to-Site Communications
Partner / Appliance Landscape VPN Support
Contoso has decided that migrating to Azure is a cost savings move. In addition, it will improve productivity by allowing employees to access commonly used intranet data and applications from the road using mobile devices.
The next challenge is setting up virtual networking on the Azure side, and connect the on-premises users and resources to the Azure cloud.
As part the pilot rollout of Azure VMs, the virtual IP Addresses (VIPs) will be set up and the Dynamic IP Address (DIPs) configured.

on-ramp for migrating existing apps and services to Windows Azure.
• Enables “hybrid” apps that span cloud and their premises.
A protected private virtual network in the cloud
• Set up secure private IPv4 networks fully contained within Windows Azure .
• IP address persistence.• Inter-service DIP-to-DIP communication.
Windows Azure virtual network
Contoso is concerned about the complexities and IP addressing challengest of connecting Azure public cloud services with on-premises IT infrastructure.
Connecting the office to the Azure public cloud to the on-premises resources is a fairly simple process that takes place on the Azure side by setting up an encrypted connection to the server using IPSEC.
The process will start with a pilot for a limited number of users and resources using the existing RAS/VPN services.
If the pilot is successful, Contoso will invest in a new VPN appliance that will offer better performance, monitoring, and logging.
Scenario: Site-to-site connectivity
There are multiple ways to access a virtual machine by IP address:VIP – Virtual IP address• An internet-facing IP address that is not bound to a specific computer or network
interface card.• The cloud service that the virtual machine sits within is assigned the VIP.• You can have multiple virtual machines in a cloud service. They share the same
VIP.
DIP – Dynamic IP address• This IP address is dynamically assigned (via DHCP) to your virtual machine by
Windows Azure. You rely on DHCP – Do NOT statically configure your IP address. Even for DCs.
• The IP address lease directly equates to the lifetime of the virtual machine. • If you create a virtual network, the virtual machine will receive its DIP from that
range.

DNS-based service load balancing
Direct user traffic to services running across Windows Azure datacenters based on policy:
Performance/latency
Round-robin
DR / Failover
1. User requests info using the company domain name.
2. The DNS RR for the company domain points to a Traffic Manager domain in Windows Azure Traffic Manager. This is done by using a CNAME record.
3. The Traffic Manager domain is part of the Traffic Manager profile that you create. You also create rules within this profile. The rules you select dictate the load balance method you want to use and what you want to monitor for health.
4. Traffic Manager processes the rules and returns the DNS name of the cloud service, which is later resolved to the IP address.
5. The User contacts the service directly, by IP address. This information is cached on the client’s computer. Thus, the client will continue to interact with the selected service until that TTL expires.
How does Traffic Manager work?

Contoso is ready to start its application testing and authentication to Azure VMs and applications from devices running in-house.
Deployment of a replica domain controller, a SharePoint 2010 Foundation Server, and a SQL Server 2014 Standard Edition Server
Contoso users can access applications from their desktops in the office and can access the intranet website using the private
IP address space used for in-house resources
Once the final phase of the testing is completed, the rollout will be to integrate the on-premises AD DS environment with the Azure AD infrastructure to ensure a single sign-on experience for users.
Scenario: Deploying applications
Business Drivers:
• Support for pre-requisites for existing applications, such as SharePoint.
• High Availability Solutions for SQL Server Databases using Always-On Availability Groups.
• Disaster Recovery solution for branch offices and a limited set of virtual machines.
• Dev/Test Workloads.
Active directory on an Azure VM
Azure VM considerations for DCs
Do not sysprep the Domain ControllerFrom an existing physical machine • P2V a physical machine and move to Windows Azure
• Move the Domain Controllers VHD file to Windows Azure
• Create the virtual machine from the VHD
Starting with a new virtual machine• Build a new virtual machine and replicate directory to Windows Azure
Azure VM considerations for DCs (cont’d.)
Attach a data disk (caching turned off)• Do not use D:\ ( temporary physical disk)
Put logs and account DB on attached disk to avoid data loss
Azure VM considerations for DCs (cont’d.)IP Addressing • Windows Azure VMs require use of a DHCP leased IP address.
• The lease is an infinite ‘dynamic’ lease, but not the same as ‘static assigned’
address that you would expect to use in and on-premises environment.
• The leased IP address is routable for the duration of the lease, which is
determined by the life time of the service (or virtual machine).
• Don’t try to assign a static IP to your virtual machine. You will lose
communication to it.
Azure VM considerations (cont’d.)
Deploy DNS on the Domain Controller• The Windows Azure DNS does not cover the AD DNS records needed.• Register the DNS server in the virtual network.
Common Azure SQL Server scenarios
• Full production environment• Development and test environments• Cloud-based backup of on-premises data• SQL Server Always On with cloud-based secondary's
In-Memory Built-InAverage 10x faster for new and existing SQL Server apps.
Multi-tenant ManagementEnterprise scale using Windows Server and effective resource management with IO Resource Governor.
Scalability & DensityEnterprise scale using Windows Server.
Partner Opportunity & BenefitWhat’s New with SQL Server 2014
• High performance and scalable DBaaS for business critical applications
• Offer reliable cloud-based database platform (DBaaS) for developers
• Cost efficiency with enhanced density and effective management

SQL Server versus Windows Azure SQL Database
Product support• SharePoint Server 2010 and 2013 supports the hosted
virtualization solution of Microsoft, as well as required technologies, such as Microsoft SQL Server, when these products and technologies are deployed on the Windows Azure platform.
FAST Search support• Do not support Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for
SharePoint deployments on Windows Azure.
SharePoint support on Windows Azure
SharePoint Architecture TipsIOPS Most Important Factor
• Optimize SQL Server storage. • Only SharePoint is on the C: drive.
Scale Out Not Up• Move content databases to separate SQL Servers.• Move search databases to separate SQL Servers.• Add more WFE for scaling SharePoint services.• Add dedicated Search servers and SQL Server.
