Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps [email protected]

+91-9916043731
 Workloads for Cloud Services
• VM is explicitly IaaS, Cloud Services is explicitly PaaS, Web Sites is explicitly
hosting.

• Cloud Services gives you administrative access to your application's VMs.

Web Sites do not provide this. This lets you install arbitrary software that
your application needs, something that's not possible with Web Sites.

• N-tier stateless applications is perfect for Cloud Services. Offers both web
roles and worker roles (requirement for separate VMs for their business
logic).

• Cloud Services provides separate staging and production environments,

making application updates somewhat smoother than Web Sites.

• Cloud Services lets you use networking technologies such as Azure Virtual
Network and Azure Connect to hook on-premises computers to Cloud
Services applications. No such thing on Web Sites.

• Cloud Services lets you use Remote Desktop to connect directly to an

application's VMs. No such thing on Web Sites.

Anyone using async

in
.NET 4.5 today?
Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps [email protected]
+91-9916043731
 async Support in .NET 4.5

- async language support to build non-blocking,

asynchronous, server-side applications

- ASP.NET MVC, Web API and WebForms have built-in

async language keyword support as of .NET 4.5

Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps [email protected]

+91-9916043731
 What happens in async? 1. An event handler calls and awaits
the AccessTheWebAsync async
method.

2. AccessTheWebAsync calls the

GetStringAsync asynchronous
method to download the contents of
a website as a string.

3. Something happens; to avoid

blocking resources, GetStringAsync
yields control to its caller,
AccessTheWebAsync.

4. DoIndependentWork is a
synchronous method that does its
work and returns to its caller.

5. AccessTheWebAsync uses an
await operator to suspend its
Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps
progress and to yield control to the

Azure Active Directory (AAD)

Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps [email protected]

+91-9916043731
 Classic Use Case
There are two apps on the web and the user has a plain-old browser.

Since the two apps never talk to each other directly, a mechanism would
need to be devices where the user logs onto App A, receives and access
token into their browser and passes it through to App B with then calls
back to App A via some API to make sure the access token is valid.

If we passed the access token into the user’s browser so it’s possible it
could be snatched (perhaps by some malicious javascript). This is why
most developers stick to the standard SSO protocols like SAML, OpenID
and WS-Federation for the classic web-app to web-app single sign-on.

Programming Azure Better, Best Practices & DevOps [email protected]

+91-9916043731
 Why No-SQL?
- Huge Data Sets
- Denormalized Data Sets
- Need fast access to
unstructured data

- Example use cases:

- Social Media, Analytics,
Security, and Compliance
- Analyse and search data of all
types, such as text, images,
videos, music.
- High-performance core data
processing and analytics.

 Brief Intro – Mongo DB
- Mongo DB stores data in the form of documents, which are
JSON-like field and value pairs.
- Documents are analogous to structures in programming
languages that associate keys with values (e.g. dictionaries,
hashes, maps, and associative arrays).
- Formally, Mongo DB documents are BSON documents. BSON is a
binary representation of JSON with additional type information.
In the documents, the value of a field can be any of the BSON

- Mongo DB stores all documents in collections. A collection is a
group of related documents that have a set of shared common
indexes. Collections are analogous to a table in relational
databases.

cache, and then configure your ASP.NET application for
cache using the Redis Cache Session State NuGet
package.

 Use Cases (Application
Developer)
- Your application must store over 80 GB of messages
in a queue, where the messages have a lifetime
shorter than 7 days.

- Your application wants to track progress for

processing a message inside of the queue. This is
useful if the worker processing a message crashes.
A subsequent worker can then use that information
to continue from where the prior worker left off.

- You require server side logs of all of the

transactions executed against your queues.

A cmdlet is a lightweight command that is used in the Windows
PowerShell environment. The Windows PowerShell runtime invokes
these cmdlets within the context of automation scripts that are
provided at the command line. The Windows PowerShell runtime also
invokes them programmatically through Windows PowerShell APIs.

Cmdlets perform an action and typically return a Microsoft .NET

Framework object to the next command in the pipeline. To write a
cmdlet, you must implement a cmdlet class that derives from one of
two specialized cmdlet base classes.

 Staged Deployment & GitHub
Integration
When you deploy your application to Azure Web Sites, you can deploy to a separate
deployment slot instead of the default production slot, which are actually live sites with
their own hostnames. This option is available in the Standard web hosting plan.
Furthermore, you can swap the sites and site configurations between two deployment
slots, including the production slot.

Deploying your application to a deployment slot has the following benefits:

1. After a swap, the slot with previously staged site now has the previous production
site. If the changes swapped into the production slot are not as you expected, you
can perform the same swap immediately to get your "last known good site" back.
2. Deploying a site to a slot first and swapping it into production ensures that all
instances of the slot are warmed up before being swapped into production. This
eliminates downtime when you deploy your site.
3. The traffic redirection is seamless, and no requests are dropped as a result of swap
operations.
