cluster, and (Feb 2010) across datacenters
> High scalability – data is automatically partitioned and
load balanced across servers
Storage
24. Windows Azure Table Storage
> Designed for structured data, not relational data
> Data definition is part of the application
•
A Table is a set of Entities (records)
•
An Entity is a set of Properties (fields)
> No fixed schema
•
Each property is stored as a <name, typed value> pair
•
Two entities within the same table can have different properties
•
No schema is enforced
Table Storage
25. Windows Azure Blob Storage
> Storage for large, named files plus their metadata
> Block Blob
•
Targeted at streaming workloads
•
Each blob consists of a sequence of blocks
•
Each block is identified by a Block ID
•
Size limit 200GB per blob
> Page Blob
•
Targeted at random read/write workloads
•
Each blob consists of an array of pages
•
Each page is identified by its offset from the start of the blob
•
Size limit 1TB per blob
Blob Storage
26. Windows Azure Queue
> Performance efficient, highly available and provide reliable
message delivery
> Asynchronous work dispatch
•
Inter-role communication
•
Polling based model; best-effort FIFO data structure
> Queue operations
> Message operations
•
Create Queue
•
Add Message
•
Delete Queue

> A Windows Azure Drive is a Page Blob
•
Example, mount Page Blob as X:
•
http://<account>.blob.core.windows.net/<container>/<blob>
•
All writes to drive are made durable to the Page Blob
•
Drive made durable through standard Page Blob replication
Drive

•
CDN URL: http://<guid>.vo.msecnd.net/
•
Support for custom domain names
> Access details
•
Blobs are cached in CDN until the TTL passes
•
Use per-blob HTTP Cache-Control policy for TTL (new)
•
CDN provides only anonymous HTTP access
