WINDOWS AZURE STORAGE

SERVICES

Storage

DURABLE STORAGE, AT MASSIVE SCALE

Slide 4

Blob- Massive files e.g. videos, logs

Drive- Use standard file system APIs

Tables- Non-relational, but with few scale limits- Use SQL Azure for relational data

Queues- Facilitate loosely-coupled, reliable, systems

BLOB

Slide 5

Binary Large OBject

BLOBS

Slide 6

Store Large Objects (up to 1TB in size)Can be served through Windows Azure

CDN serviceStandard REST Interface

PutBlobInserts a new blob, overwrites the existing

blob

GetBlobGet whole blob or a specific range

DeleteBlobCopyBlobSnapshotBlobEtc

BLOB STRUCTURE

Slide 7

Storage Account: MediaStorage

Container: Pop Container: Rock

Fly.mp3 PopConcert.avi PopLetter.docx

We will rock you.mp3 RockConcert.avi poster.pdf

BLOB URI

http://<storageAccount>.blob.core.windows.net/<Container>/<BlobName>

http://mediastorage.blob.core.windows.net/pop/fly.mp3

BASIC STEPS

Slide 9

Get storage account

Get blob client

Retrieve a container reference

Get blob reference

Upload/Download a blob

DEMO BLOB STORAGE

TWO TYPES OF BLOBS

Slide 11

Block Blob Targeted at streaming workloadsEach blob consists of a sequence

of blocks• Each block is identified

by a Block IDSize limit 200GB per blob

Page Blob Targeted at random read/write

workloadsEach blob consists of an array

of pagesEach page is identified by

its offset from the start ofthe blob

Size limit 1TB per blob

WINDOWS AZURE DRIVE

Slide 12

Drive == Page blob

Fixed NTFS

Between 16MB and 1TB

Can only be mounted by only VM

at time for read/write access

TABLE

Slide 13

Provides Structured StorageMassively Scalable Tables

Billions of entities (rows) andTBs of data

Can use thousands of servers as traffic grows

Highly Available & DurableData is replicated several times

Familiar and Easy to use APIWCF Data Services

(previously ADO.NET Data Services)and OData

.NET classes and LINQREST – with any platform or language

BASIC STEPS

Create an entity

Specify a context

Get storage account

Generate table

Work with the context

Slide 14

DEMO TABLE STORAGE

Slide 15

PARTITION TABLES

Slide 16

QUEUE

Slide 17

• Queue are performance efficient,highly available and provide reliable message delivery– Simple, asynchronous work dispatch– Programming semantics ensure that a

message can be processed at least once

• Access is provided via REST

QUEUE: FIRST IN FIRST OUT

Slide 18

BASIC STEPS

Slide 19

Get storage account

Retrieve queue reference

Add/Get message

Delete message
