Authoring Composite Applications

► Simple way to represent all of the components of your application, including Azure services

► Programming model to resolve deployed components

► Local simulation environment► Familiar gestures work► Uniform representation of deployment and

Managing Composite Applications

Managing Composite Applications

– Deploy and manage end-to-end composite application rather than individually provisioning, configuring and managing services

– Builds on top of Azure infrastructure to provide rich management of scalable, highly available composite applications

– Management based on SLAs • Abstract environment specifics from application

owner/administrator• Guarantee security, isolation and performance

SLAs

CREATING CUSTOM COMPONENTS

Demo

Summary and Takeaways► Improved end-to-end experience for

developing, deploying and managing composite applications– Ease of development

• Extensible .NET composition model and tools make it easy to develop composite applications

• Greater developer productivity through rapid assembly of services and end-to-end debugging and deployment

– Effortless scale• Multi-tenant, high-density runtime provides scalability,

isolation and availability for composite applications

– Lower TCO• Centralized deployment, management and monitoring

of distributed applications
