Microsoft Azure SQL Database

Microsoft Azure data management options

RELATIONALNON-RELATIONAL

A NoSQL key/value store that provides simple access to semi-structured data at a lower cost for applications that do not need robust querying capabilities

A cloud storage service offering the simplest way to store large amounts of unstructured text or binary data, such as video, audio and images, and for creating virtual hard drives in the cloud.

A full-featured instance of SQL Server running in a Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine for quickly and easily running or testing SQL Server applications in the cloud

A feature-rich, fully managed relational database service that offers a highly productive experience with business-ready capabilities built on SQL Server technology

A Big Data implementation 100% compatible with Hadoop.

Best for existing and new applications needing full SQL Server feature set

Best for new cloud applications needing relational capabilities and high availability

Best for inexpensive, scalable storage of semi-structured data

Best for Big Data Analytics across semi-structured and unstructured data

Choice of Platform

Move on-prem SQL to Azure SQL• Create the database in Microsoft Azure SQL

DB• Use SQL Server Management Studio to

migrate the DB contents• This automates the process of exporting the data to

a local bacpac and importing it to the cloud DB• Verify the Windows Azure SQL DB• Update connection strings to point to the new

DB

Move on-prem WCF to Azure Web Site• Create the Web Site in Microsoft Azure• Import the publish settings into Visual Studio• This will help us create a publish profile so we can

automate deployments• Publish the application• It will deploy only changed files

• Update the Expenses WPF client to use the new hosted service

• Verify the application

demoDeploy Public WCF Service to Microsoft Azure Web Sites

Microsoft Azure Service Bus

Microsoft Azure Service BusEASILY CONNECT APPLICATIONS

• Queues for messaging occasionally connected devices like mobile phones

• Topics & Subscriptions for publishing notifications to multiple subscribers

CONNECT APPLICATIONS FROM ANYWHERE

• Connect applications across:• Public cloud• Public & private cloud• Private to private cloud

through public cloud

• Relay to securely call private cloud applications hosted behind firewalls and NATs

• Clients can run on PCs, mobile devices or browser

• Use various languages (.NET, WCF, REST, Java, Node.js, PHP)

ENTERPRISE GRADE CLOUD SERVICE

• 99.9% monthly SLA• Delivery assurance,

reliable messaging, scale and load balancing

• Claims based security and identity federation with Active Directory and web identities

• No need for IT to change network config or install gateway devices

What is Service Bus Relay• Enables hybrid

applications that run in both an Azure datacenter and your own on-premises enterprise environment

Call internal service via Service Bus relay• Create a service bus relay• Add a service bus relay endpoint to the

internal service• Update the WCF service to use the Service

Bus relay endpoint for the internal service• Verify the Service Bus relay integration
