- 5. Diversification of services and models Today, more and more companies are planning to be or are already in the cloud The large Public Clouds - Azure and AWS - deploy at high-speed a diversity of services and features It becomes more and more difficult to find a service or make a clear choice « For my internet facing web solution: Azure App Service ? App Service for Containers ? Azure Functions ? Or rather automated VMs? VM Scale Sets ? A Kubernetes cluster with AKS ? »
- 6. Acceleration of architectural evolutions towards new forms and patterns Companies must be ready to apply these new patterns in their implementations Architectural Evolutions « I have in-house machine clusters and Enterprise Services Buses: what about the needs of our business units to implement microservice APIs? »
- 7. Modern cloud services already used in some companies, but without specific recommendations Cloud service developers or users do not know the impact of these services in the security context Risks of Cloud Architecture Choices « Azure Functions seems a very good solution for my scenario. But is the service secure enough to prevent access to users’ confidential data?» credits : whitesource.com
- 8. with heavy architectural models come heavy development and implementation processes low tooling and automation level qualifications of the teams and their work habits Inadequate processes, tools and qualifications « A new marketing campaign will have to be launched in one month - infrastructure, development, deployment from scratch. Our teams usually deliver under 6 months. How to answer? » Credits: pxhere.com
- 10. Modern Architecture Cloud Agile / DevOps Modern Architecture Modern Architecture: This set of concepts and models that make applications: • Faster to implement, • More flexible and elastic, • More economically efficient It is based on two fundamental pillars: 1. The Cloud 2. DevOps and Agile practices
- 11. Traditional / on-premises Modern / Cloud Monolithic, centralized Decomposed, decentralized Design for predictable scalability Design for elastic scale Relational database Persistence polyglot Strong consistency Possible consistency Serial and synchronized processing Parallel and asynchronous processing Design to avoid failures Design in case of failure Large occasional updates Small frequent updates Manual management Automated management Approach comparizon
- 12. Modern Application Architecture • Microservices • Event-Driven • CQRS • Modern Orchestration • Lambda Architecture • … Modern Deployment Architecture • Serverless • Containers • Modern Compute • Managed Containers • … Modern Architecture – 2 perspectives New application patterns, or models revisited in the context of Cloud and DevOps Innovative deployment models made possible by the advent of the Cloud
- 14. 14 Microservices A software architecture model from which a complex set of services is broken down into several independent and loosely coupled processes, often specialized in a single task. Advantages Disadvantages Agility Service limits Reduced code, reduced team Data Integrity Mix of technologies Network congestion and latency Elasticity Complexity Scalability CI / CD / Automation Data isolation Surveillance & monitoring
- 15. 15 Event-Driven Architecture An Event-Driven architecture is made up of event producers that generate a flow of events and event consumers that listen to events.
- 16. 16 CQRS Command and Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) is an architectural model that essentially separates read operations from write operations. Advantages Disadvantages Independent scaling Complexity Optimized data schemas Messaging Security Eventual consistency Separation of concerns Simpler queries
- 17. 17 Other patterns • Orchestration / modern workflow • A process model consisting of sequential or parallel tasks that are based on connectors (prebuilt) • Lambda architecture • A data-processing architecture designed to handle amounts of data by taking advantage of batch and stream methods. • Big Data • Data architecture designed to handle the ingestion, processing, and analysis of large or complex data for traditional database systems. • Big Compute • Architecture describing large-scale workloads that require a large number of CPUs / cores, often hundreds or thousands, for mass computing
- 19. 19 Modern Compute • “Compute” originally refers to the classic IaaS model (based on virtual machines) • These are still unmanaged resources at the base • In exchange : • Model enriched by additional features like : automatic patching, change management, backup etc. • These features fulfill a part of the platform’s managing effort, while keeping the control • Automated implementation of the individual operations • Grouping of machines and scaling them together
- 20. 20 « Enhanced » PaaS • PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) is designed as a more modern pattern than the IaaS from which it is derived • We still reason in terms of instances, but they are managed at the OS level and/or middleware level • In addition, PaaS evolves and is enriched by many configurations and services, such as: • Identity / authentication / authorization, backup • Domain management, push notifications for mobile • Automatic deployment, multi-slots • Advanced monitoring and troubleshooting, performance testing
- 21. 21 Serverless Serverless Computing is a deployment and execution model in which the service provider dynamically manages (and bills) the allocation of machine resources for each execution. Serverless is NOT just Function-as-a-Service Advantages Disadvantages Transparent scaling Performance Operations Limitation of resources Productivity Eventual consistency Cost Monitoring and troubleshooting
- 22. 22 Containers Containerization refers to a feature of the operating system in which the kernel allows the existence of multiple isolated user space instances, named containers. Programs running in a container can only see the contents of the container and the devices assigned to the container.
- 23. 23 Containers – derived patterns • Managed Containers • Orchestrator managed by the service provider • Serverless Containers • Serverless model but using containers for deployment

Modern Patterns in Azure Services Azure Functions Event Grid Logic Apps Kubernetes Service (AKS) Container Instances (ACI) Service Fabric Cosmos DB Durable Functions Stream Analytics Event-Driven Microservices Modern Orchestration Lambda Architecture NoSQL The applicability of the patterns is multiple; which complicates the classification and associations of the models. • We will use choice and decision matrices …… …….
