- 14. Microsoft Azure Scale and latency
- 15. Microsoft Azure Cold-starts • When choosing the ‘Consumption’ plan, you will have elastic scale but at the cost of cold starts. • A cold-start is a small amount of time needed to warm up the resources and execute your functions. Consumption plan runs on a shared environment and resources need to be allocated. • Cold-start could take 1-3 seconds. 15
- 16. Microsoft Azure Premium Functions • Avoid cold-start with perpetually warm instances • Dynamically scale as needed • Consistent performance • Network isolation, VNet connectivity • Long running execution (60min guaranteed) • Better predictable pricing 16
- 17. Microsoft Azure Premium Functions recap Powerful hardware Elastic scale with control Advanced networking options Reserved instances
- 18. Microsoft Azure Running healthy apps in the cloud
- 19. Microsoft Azure Use multiple instances & deploy to multiple regions 19 Multiple instances: • Azure Functions provides the means to automatically scale when needed • Allocate minimum instances in the Scale out (App Service Plan) blade • Set number of pre-warmed instances Deploy to multiple regions: • Leverage Azure Front Door or Traffic Manager to intercept traffic before it hits your site • Helps with routing and distribution between your instances and regions • Route incoming requests based on the customer’s geography
- 20. Microsoft Azure Leverage deployment slots 20 Why use slots? • Different environments for different purposes – test your changes • Prewarming • Easy fallbacks How are functions affected by swapping slots? • Traffic redirection is seamless; no requests are dropped because of a swap. • If a function is running during a swap, execution continues, and the next triggers are routed to the swapped app instance. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-deployment-slots
- 21. Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB 21 SQL-API • Write scalability around the world • Low latency (<10ms P99 for 1kb document) writes around the world • 99.999% High Availability around the world • Well-defined consistency models • Automatic conflict management
- 22. Microsoft Azure Storage (RS-GRS) 22 READ-ACCESS GEO-REDUNDANT STORAGE Redundancy in the primary region • Locally redundant storage (LRS) copies your data synchronously three times within a single physical location in the primary region. • Zone-redundant storage (ZRS) copies your data synchronously across three Azure availability zones in the primary region. Redundancy in a secondary region • Geo-redundant storage (with GRS or GZRS) replicates your data to another physical location in the secondary region to protect against regional outages. • Design your applications for read access to the secondary region.
