SharePoint Cloud Story

Scale up/down as demand grows/shrinks It must be secure and supported Simply consume the service Easily manage costs, pay for what I use Running latest versions Backups aren’t my problem 99.9% uptime It just works Single Sign on Easy to understand SLAs And many more…

Cloud Goals

SharePoint is now “Cloud” ready Scale up/out/down – elasticity 99.9% uptime is achievable Office365 Vs. Azure Vs. AWS Vs. Private cloud

SaaS Vs. IaaS SharePoint roles/tiers suit cloud deployments

Patching is still fun Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster

SharePoint Cloud Story

SharePoint Reference Architectures

• WFE (query, request manager)

• Application servers: Central Administration Search component Application services• SQL Server: Central Administration Config databases Content databases Search databases

SharePoint Architecture (Quick Review)

Don’t forget Office Web Apps needs its own farm!!

network etc• Usually 99.9% uptime if more than 1 VM

per zone• Similar to hosted model but you have more

control• PAYG Utility computing• Pretty much do anything you want• Full trust code, timer jobs, patching

SharePoint on AWS (Amazon EC2)

• Start with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

• Provision preconfigured Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) within Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

• Use Cloud Formation to speed up deployment

• Suggested AMIs for SharePoint 2013:• WFE - m3.xlarge (4 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x40

SSD)• App - m3.xlarge (4 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x40

SSD)• SQL- c3.2xlarge (8 cores, 15GB RAM, 2x80
