Azure Stack Overview and Roadmap Christer Olsson Christer.Olsson@microsoft.com Technical Sales Lead EMEA Microsoft
Power of Azure in your datacenter
Edge and disconnected solutions Cloud applications to meet varied regulations Cloud application model on-premises
Aggregated analysis Data collection Use Azure Stack for: Real-time latency requirements Connectivity issues Local data processing Use Azure for aggregate analytics and big data modelling Azure Stack Azure Stack Azure Stack Local data processing Common application logic across both, connected, or disconnected Limited or no connectivity Edge and disconnected solutions
App pattern Azure Country #1 Country #2 Country #3 Develop and deploy global application in Azure Optionally deploy to Azure Stack to handle customer preferences for regulations: Government Industry Region All within a consistent model Cloud applications that meet every regulation
Apply modern architectures to on-premises apps not yet ready for cloud Azure services PaaS Serverless computing Microservices and containers Move to Azure without code changes Existing app Consistent programming model, skills, and processes Modern applications across cloud and on-premises
Hybrid Scenarios
App Pattern Intent Promise Cloud Burst As a customer, I am not yet ready to run my applications in the public cloud. However, it is not economically sensible for my business to maintain capacity in my on-premises environment necessary to run my applications during periods of peak demand. I can take advantage of the elasticity of the public cloud when I need to Hybrid CI/CD Pipeline Pattern Notes: Two separate resource templates May require a degree of orchestration from a CI/CD system Bursting may require manual input IaaS based or PaaS based Azure Stack
App Pattern Intent Promise Azure as a Secure Edge As a customer, I want to use capabilities unique to Azure to securely make my app available. I can increase my security posture by using features like Application Gateway, Azure Security Center, AAD App Proxy, and other abilities that are only available in the public cloud. Apps on Azure Stack Azure Security Features
App Pattern Intent Promise Geo-Distributed Application I have an application that spans geographies. I default to the public cloud, but some of my customers require their data remain in their region. I can direct users to the most suitable cloud for their needs Azure Traffic Manager Azure Stack
App Pattern Intent Promise Data Sovereignty I have data that will continue to remain in an on-premises environment because it is impractical or against my organization policy to move it to the cloud. Still, I am looking to take advantage of public cloud innovation and adopt services to modernize my applications that leverage this data. My sensitive data can remain close to me even as I take full advantage of the public cloud. Data Azure Stack + Blob/Table/Queue Storage Apps on Azure
