Unleash Opportunities With Compute options on Azure

Welcome!

HOW DO I ASK A QUESTION?

  • If you have a technical or content-related question, please use the Q&A window
  • We will address the questions as they come in

CAN I VIEW THIS PRESENTATION AFTER THE WEBINAR?

  • There will not be a recording of the session, slides will be shared in the GitHub repository
  • Due to the PII we are not keeping the recording of the session

Agenda!

  • Why Application Innovation is important?
  • Decision Matrix for the compute options on Azure
  • Overview of each compute services and recent updates
  • Why you need to design differently on the cloud
  • Reference Architecture
  • Demo on Event Driven Scaling ( AKS + Azure functions)
  • Kahoot Quiz


Traditional application has a set of challenges

Aging infrastructure

  • Aging hardware, operating systems, and business applications in the datacenter can impact:
  • Operational costs, effciency, and reliability.
  • Capital expenditure requirements.
  • Security, audit and reulatory compliance.

lack of agility

  • Deployment time of new services
  • Operation is time (and budget) consuming.
  • Innovation is happening outside IT inside business areas.

Legacy applications

  • Longer release cycles, monolithic and highly coupled architecture.
  • Highly IT dependent
  • Low application performance and time to market compromise business agility.

The (application) Journey to the Cloud

Azure Cloud Adoption Framework

Cloud app continuum

Lift and Shift (Rehost)

When to consider

  • Ideal when your goal is to improve operational efficiencies, and free up data center space
  • Maintenance apps for which the hardware is not worth additional investment.
  • Compute-intensive applications that are built for parallelism but don't require high-performance interprocess communications (IPC) and have independent datasets, and applications for which load balancing already increases scalability and availability.

Benefits

  • Drives instant reduction in TCO - 30% on average
  • No need to manage data centers
  • Enjoy flexible and scalable infrastructure

Core technologies

  • VM, VM Scale Set

Refactor

When to consider

  • You want to leverage existing development skills and codebase is paramount
  • When code portability is a concern.
  • You prefer a quick way to modernize your apps

Benefits

  • Drive continuous innovation by leveraging built-in DevOps for PaaS or using Containers
  • Existing programming models,languages and frameworks that can be easily used and extended.
  • Easily scale up or down to meet the changing needs of the business

Core technologies

  • Containers, container ochestration
  • DevOps tools

Rebuild

When to consider

  • You want to build for cloud-native PaaS environments from ground up.
  • Leverage previous investment in a cloud platform, e.g. when customer data has already moved to the Cloud.
  • Rapid prototyping is crucial or the scope of a current application is too limited in terms of functionality and lifespan.

Benefits

  • Reduce TCO
  • Fully leverage the cloud native capabilities and build applications faster
  • Expedite your business innovation

Core technologies

  • Serverless, Pass
