Office 365 + Azure
 Sandbox Solutions
 Overview
 Advantages
 Challenges
 Addressing Limitations
 Building Apps with SharePoint Solutions
 Integrating SharePoint & Windows Azure
 Exploring a scenario: AC's Cichlids Inc.
 Easy, Moderate, Complex


Sandbox solutions overview

Enables developers to deploy solutions without IT action

Enables IT to maintain health of SharePoint servers

Isolates custom code from running in SharePoint process

Quicker time-to-market solutions for site owners


Advantages of Sandbox over Farm solutions

Work directly with the customer (site collection owner)

Predictable limitations defined by SharePoint [SharePoint Online]

Speed to market – no need to involve administrator in deployment

Errors won’t affect the hosting SharePoint site


Challenges with Sandbox
 Can only access subset of SharePoint 2010 server API
 Blocked from making remote calls
 Web service requests
 ATOM feed requests
 Custom database calls
 Blocked from connecting to on-premise LOB systems
 Limited to working in current site collection only
 Blocked from accessing the Page object
 Subject to resource monitoring & automatic throttling


Addressing challenges with the Sandbox
Sandbox Solutions • Resource libraries that register specific actions
can Utilize • Deployed as farm trust solution
“Full-Trust” • Sandboxed solutions can call these deployed
Proxies actions

• Client-side Web Part – JavaScript / jQuery /
Move Business etc
Logic off Server • Silverlight Web Part


Integrating SharePoint and Azure
 Consume Windows Azure-based solution in SharePoint
 Content Editor Web Part
 Sandboxed Web Part
 Business Connectivity Services / External Content Type
 Search
 Enable Windows Azure-based solution to interact with SharePoint
 SharePoint Client Object Model (CSOM)
 REST / OData feeds
