1. Building and Diagnosing Applications using Visual Studio and Azure SDK Paul Yuknewicz paulyuk@Microsoft.com Principal PM Manager

2. Azure SDK and Tools • Azure SDK (2.7) for .NET & VS available http://azure.microsoft.com/downloads/and WebPI • VMs with VS & SDK preinstalled on Azure gallery! • Also: SDKs for PowerShell, CLI, Java, Node, Python • Works in conjunction with VS Online for DevOps • Standalone storage tools for Windows, Mac and Linux on storageexplorer.com • Tell us what you think http://aka.ms/sdkfeedback

3. Azure SDK 2.7 • App Service • Cloud Services • Connected Services • Azure Resource Manager (ARM, IaaS VMs) • Azure resource optics via Cloud Explorer • PowerShell editing • Diagnostics for Cloud Services and VMs • Command-line support for PowerShell and CLI • Docker container (preview)

4. Command Line SDKs • PowerShell • PowerShell cmdlets for automating services management tasks and deployment • Better acquisition through azure.com and PowerShellGet • Improved separation of ASM (v1) and ARM (v2) modes • Piping enhancements • Side-by-side consoles – stateless profiles and persistence • CLI – cross-platform command-line interface • Mac, Linux and Windows CLI for services management tasks and deployment • Greater parity with PowerShell cmdlets • Improved sign in using Microsoft Account, Org Account, 2-factor auth

5.

6. App Services Integrated Offering Web Apps Mobile Apps Web apps that scale with your business Build Mobile apps for any device LOGIC Apps Automate business process across SaaS and on-premises API Apps Easily build and consume APIs in the cloud

7. Connectors & Extensible API model

8. App Services Tools • Familiar Web projects and editing • Simplified deployment • AD Sign-in and connected services • Powerful diagnostics, live streaming and remote debugging • CI/CD, Git, and VSO ALM integration

9. WebJobs • Run programs and scripts in the context of a Web app • Great for small background processes, e.g. processing queues, maintenance, sending emails, … • .NET developers can push console and web projects as WebJobs • Run custom EXE’s and scripts too • Helpful construction and debugging tools public static void Main() { JobHosthost = new JobHost(); host.RunAndBlock(); } public static void ProcessQueueMessage([QueueTrigger("webjobsqueue")] string inputText, [Blob("containername/blobname")]TextWriter writer) { writer.WriteLine(inputText); }

10. DemoBuilding a Web App and WebJob using App Services and tools

11. Azure Resource Manager (ARM) • Define a complete cloud topology using infrastructure as code • Azure Resource Manager project provides templates and template editing, snippets, customizable, deployment scripts, and a deployment UI • Many additional templates available • New Virtual Machine, Networking and Storage resources • App Service resources (Web Apps, Mobile Apps, Logic Apps, API Apps) • JSON Outline view for Azure RM deployment templates

12. PowerShell Editing • Extension on the VS Gallery owned by Adam Driscoll (PowerShell MVP) • Azure tools team is a contributor • Better colorization & IntelliSense • Remote execution & debugging • 64bit and DSC • New templates for PowerShell items

13. Continuous Delivery and Release Management Team Build • Use VSO for built in delivery of App Services and Cloud Services • Trigger builds from check ins or schedule • Run custom script (e.g. PowerShell, Chef) tasks Release Manager • Orchestrate Build, Test, and Deploy to multiple environments (Dev, QA, Staging, Prod..) • Move and promote complete application (data, config, ..) • Promote builds based on custom criteria • Works with VSO, GitHub, Jenkins and more Come to my next session for an Azure DevOps deep dive!

14. DemoDeploying a complete application topology

15. Docker containers (Preview) • Extension on the VS Gallery • Enables better DevOps • Eliminates “drift” of application environments and dependencies • Use the same containers in all your environments • Provision rapidly • Enables high density of containers on single VMs • Leverages standard Docker APIs • Works on Linux and Windows

16. DemoBuilding APaaS applications using App Services and Web Jobs

17. Diagnosing your application in development • Diagnose issues in the cloud using events/logs • Dynamic enable/disable using config or commands • Diagnostics supported in the emulator • Export Azure storage tables to CSV • Improved diagnostics summary viewer • Auto refresh capability • Improved readability of events

18. Diagnosing your production application • View application metrics, errors, and logs in Azure portal -> Health and Monitoring blade • View/Search system & application logs together using ElasticSearch, LogStash, and Kibana [ELK] via Logstash plugin for Azure • http://aka.ms/AzureDiagnosticsElk

19. Remote debugging • Attach to live instances of App Services, Cloud Services, and IaaS VMs • Recommended for pre-prod

20. DemoDiagnosing your Azure application

21. Summary • Tools you need to build and diagnose Azure applications (VS/.NET and cross-platform) • Integrate with DevOps / ALM lifecycle • Try Azure now: MSDN benefit, Free Trial, developer VMs
