The Windows Azure platform is a flexible cloud–computing platform that lets you focus on solving business problems and addressing customer needs.

infrastructure as a service (hardware)Servers available in the cloud

platform as a service (developer) Delivery of a OS for custom, cloud enabled appsSupport for service hosting and interoperability Relational data storage in the cloud

Capacity in a cloud model

Actual Load

Allocated IT capacities

Reduction of initial

investments

Reduction of “over-

supply“

No “under-supply“

Possible reduction of IT-capacities

in case of reduced load

Azure Compute SLAWindows Azure has separate SLA’s for compute and storage. For compute, we guarantee that when you deploy two or more role instances in different fault and upgrade domains your Internet facing roles will have external connectivity at least 99.95% of the time. Additionally, we will monitor all of your individual role instances and guarantee that 99.9% of the time we will detect when a role instance’s process is not running and initiate corrective action.

Average

InactivityPeriod

“On and Off “

On & off workloads (e.g. batch job)Over provisioned capacity is wasted Time to market can be cumbersome

“Unpredictable Bursting“

Average Usage

Unexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases

Average Usage

“Growing Fast“

Successful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up w/ growth is big IT challenge Complex lead time for deployment

e Time

Average Usage

“Predictable Bursting“

Services with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demandIT complexity and wasted capacity
