What is the cloud?
An approach to computing that’s about internet scale
and connecting to a variety of devices and endpoints
Why Cloud?
Customer Requirements :
• Efficency, Reliability
• Scalability , Agility
• Reduce IT Costs
IT Consultants
• Don’t must be IT warriors
• Can delegate IT Problems

Azure Role: Application Box
Role Interface
Role is an application container, that run inside Azure VM, through it we
can provide Web / Service / Standalone Applications and also offers an
interface to manage it
Services,Roles and Instances
A Service is a packaged application for Azure, composed by one or more role
Roles are defined in a Service Model
• May define one or more Roles per Service
• A role definition specifies
 VM size
 Communication Endpoints
 Local storage resources
 Etc…
At runtime each Role will execute on one or more instances (up to 20 per
subscription)
• A role instance is a set of code, configuration, and local data, deployed in a
dedicated VM
Worker Role Patterns
Queue Polling Worker
• Poll and Pop Messages within while(true) loop
• E.g. Map/Reduce pattern, background image processing
Listening Worker Role
• Create TcpListener or WCF Service Host
• E.g. Run a .NET SMTP server or WCF Service
External Process Worker Role
• OnStart or Run method executes Process.Start()
• Startup Task installs or executes background/foreground process
• E.g. Run a database server, web server, distributed cache
Web Role
All features of a worker role + IIS 7 or 7.5
MVC 3 , ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 or 4.0 – 64bit
Hosts
• Webforms or MVC
• FastCGI applications (e.g. PHP)
• Multiple Websites
Http(s)
Web/Worker Hybrid
• Can optionally implement RoleEntryPoint
Service Definition
Describes the shape of your Windows Azure Service
• Defines Roles
• Ports, Certificates
• Configuration
• Startup Tasks
• IIS Configuration
Service Configuration
Supplies Runtime Values, can be updated any time through Portal or API
• Scale
• Config Settings
• Certificates to use,
•
VHD
•
etc.

 Producer can forget about message once it is in queue
• Many workers consume the queue
• For extreme throughput use multiple queues or multiple work items per message
Input Queue (Work Items)

Controller
E’ una classe.
Convention-over-configuration: per convenzione, la classe del Controller deve
chiamarsi “NomeControllerController”
– es.: “AnnunciController”
Contiene la logica di interazione per un certo numero di “pagine” logicamente
collegate
– es.: AnnunciController potrebbe:
• visualizzare l’elenco degli annunci
• vedere i dettagli di un annuncio
• aggiungere un nuovo annuncio
Action
E’ un metodo di un Controller.
Quando l’utente richiede l’esecuzione di una certa “azione” (visualizzare i
dettagli di un annuncio, crearne uno nuovo, …) viene invocata la relativa Action.
La Action esegue della logica applicativa e poi restituisce un oggetto
ActionResult, che sarà utilizzato per mostrare i risultati all’utente in una “pagina”
(la View).

DEMO:
Creazione di un’applicazione Web
con ASP.NET MVC
Model (anzi, ViewModel)
Il Model in ASP.NET MVC fa da intermediario fra Controller e View
– permette di tipizzare i dati scambiati fra Controller e View
Si parla allora di ViewModel:
– Classi create ad uso e consumo delle View
– Classi completamente anemiche (solo attributi)
Validazione: Data Annotations
Dato che i ViewModel nascono prettamente per tipizzare i dati scambiati con la
view, possono essere usate anche per definire le regole di validazione e
rendering della view che le consuma.
In .NET possiamo indicare tali informazioni con dei semplici attributi chiamati
Data Annotations:
View Loosely-Typed
ASP.NET MVC < 3: ViewData
– ACTION
ViewData[“Messaggio”] = “Benvenuto!”;
ViewData[“Cliente”] = new Customer();
– VIEW
<%: ViewData[“Messaggio”] %>
<%: (ViewData[“Cliente”] as Cliente).Nome %>
ASP.NET MVC 3: dynamic ViewBag + Razor
– ACTION
ViewBag.Messaggio = “Benvenuto!”;
ViewBag.Cliente = new Customer();
– VIEW
@ViewBag.Messaggio
@ViewBag.Cliente.Nome
View Strongly-Typed
Inizia con una dichiarazione @model T
– es.: una View che mostri i dettagli di una Sessione può iniziare con la
dichiarazione @model Sessione
È una normale pagina Web
T è il ViewModel
– un “modello” della View: raggruppa in una classe i dati che la View deve
mostrare e gestire
Vantaggi:
– Intellisense
– Controlli alla compilazione

ASP.NET MVC PER
WINDOWS AZURE:
BEH, CHE
PROBLEMA C’È?
Statelessness
Load balancer round-robins requests in multi instance roles
Follow web farm best practices
– Do not store state on individual instances
– Do not assume subsequent requests will hit the same instance
• Don’t forget things like dynamically generated images loaded by a
page
All instances require the same MachineKey for hashing
– Fabric uses same machine key for all instances in a role
AJAX and Windows Azure
Client side calls may not return to the same instance the original page came
from
AJAX calls must be stateless
– Don’t generate a page and leave state on the server to call via AJAX later
Windows Azure Session State
Windows Azure Load Balancer uses round-robin allocation. Session state must
persist to client or storage on every request
Solving Session State
Persist to Storage via Session State Provider
–
–
–
–
–
Windows Azure AppFabric Caching
3rd party distributed cache (e.g. MemCached)
SQL Azure
Windows Azure Storage
Custom
Persist to Client
– Use cookies  performance issues
Windows Azure AppFabric Caching
Using Windows Azure AppFabric Caching as the session store
In-memory, distributed cache
Based on Windows Server AppFabric Caching
Used the Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache assembly found in the SDK
Enable ASP.NET 4 Session Compression
Currently available in AppFabric LABS Portal as CTP
AppFabric Caching Session State
SQL Server Session State
Use SQL Azure as backing store
Round trip to database twice per request
– Read at request start
– Write at request end
Enable ASP.NET 4 Session Compression
Scale out across multiple DBs
– Use session state partitioning
– http://tinyurl.com/scale-session
SQL Azure is competitive on cost basis
SQL Azure Session State
Session state stored using SQL Server Session State Provider and
session state partitioning
resolve partition
Windows Azure Storage Providers
Sample ASP.NET Providers (Session, Membership, Role etc…)
Sample Code
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsazuresamples
Uses Blob + Table Storage
Several storage transactions per request
Enable ASP.NET 4 Session Compression
Sample Provider should be treated as a starting point only.
Cookies
Serialize and Encrypt state into cookie
Possible to implement as Session State Provider
Cookies add significant performance overhead
Cookies sent with every request to domain
– Use alternative host header to serve images, …
• http://www.myweb.com
• http://images.myweb.com
– Use Windows Azure Storage for static content
DNS
All services get a *.cloudapp.net address
– myservicename.cloudapp.net
– TTL is 10 seconds
Standard approach is to CNAME to *.cloudapp.net
– Requires two DNS lookups
– Limited caching due to low TTL
Officially, Windows Azure do not support the use of A records
IP Address for deployment is fixed for lifetime of that slot
ASP.NET ON AZURE:
COMMON CHALLENGES
File Upload
ASP.NET File Upload Control uses ASP.NET temporary directory to buffer files
– Temp path cannot be changed to Local Resource or Windows Azure Drive
Windows Azure Compute roles have 100MB of root disk space
Problems arise
– Uploading large files (~100MB)
– Multiple users uploading concurrently (10 users uploading 10MB files)
File Upload Solutions
Upload direct to Blob storage using Silverlight
– Provide a Shared Access Signature to Silverlight control
– Upload blocks direct to storage [http://tinyurl.com/sl-blob]
Use 3rd Party Control
Implement a custom IHttpHandler to receive file and buffer to disk
Takeaways
ASP.NET In Windows Azure
– Broad support for ASP.NET Features
– Must understand and architect for scale out
Advanced Techniques
– SaaS Applications using Virtual Path Providers and Host header checking
