OutputCache in Windows Azure folosind AppFabric.Cache

In post-ul anterior am vorbit despre cum putem sa ne definim propriul nostru mecanism de cache-ing. Dar daca ne aflam in cloud.
Iata urmatorul scenariu: avem o aplicatie MVC 2 pe Windows Azure si vrem sa putem folosii un mecanism de cache-ing. In cazul in care avem mai multe web roluri dorim sa facem un sistem de cache-ing oarecum centralizat. Nu dorim sa încărcam de doua ori anumite date daca acestea sunt deja incarcate.
O varianta pentru a rezolva aceasta problema este sa ne definim propriul mecanism pentru cache-ing. Nu ar fi foarte complicat, dar ne-ar costa ceva timp. Cea mai simpla varianta este sa folosim mecanismul intern de pe Windows Azure. AppFabric ne ofera si posibilitatea sa facem cache-ing la date. Acest provider de cache-ing se numeste DistributedCache, iar pentru al putea folosi este nevoie sa accesam sectiunea de AppFabric din contul de Windows Azure si sa adaugăm un serviciu.
In web.config-ul aplicatiei trebuie sa adauga o noua sectiune prin care sa putem definii providerul din cloud, iar apoi sa scriem definiția propriu-zisa:
<configSections>
<section name="distributedCache"
type="Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.DataCacheClientSection,
Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core"
allowLocation="true" allowDefinition="Everywhere"/>
</configSections>
<distributedCache deployment="Simple">
<hosts>
<host name="raduVunvulea.cache.appfabriclabs.com" cachePort="80" />
</hosts>
<securityProperties mode="Message">
<messageSecurity authorizationInfo="43423423DFJF2rf32f23f23f233gt23f3f3">
</messageSecurity>
</securityProperties>
</distributedCache>
Tot ce mai este nevoie este sa adaugam in sectiunea de cache-ing definitia noastra de provider:
<webconfig>
<caching>
<outputCache defaultProvider="DistributedCacheProvider" >
<add name="DistributedCacheProvider"
type="Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache.DistributedCacheOutputCacheProvider,
Microsoft.Web.DistributedCache"
cacheName="cacheOne" />
</outputCache>
</caching>
</webconfig>
Din acest moment aplicatia noastra o sa poata folosi cache-ing pe care Windows Azure il pune la dispozitie prin intermediul AppFabric. Pentru acest lucru aveti nevoie nu doar de un cont de Windows Azure ci si de un service namespace pe AppFabric, care nu este gratis.

How to audit an Azure Cosmos DB

In this post, we will talk about how we can audit an Azure Cosmos DB database. Before jumping into the problem let us define the business requirement: As an Administrator I want to be able to audit all changes that were done to specific collection inside my Azure Cosmos DB. The requirement is simple, but can be a little tricky to implement fully. First of all when you are using Azure Cosmos DB or any other storage solution there are 99% odds that you’ll have more than one system that writes data to it. This means that you have or not have control on the systems that are doing any create/update/delete operations. Solution 1: Diagnostic Logs Cosmos DB allows us activate diagnostics logs and stream the output a storage account for achieving to other systems like Event Hub or Log Analytics. This would allow us to have information related to who, when, what, response code and how the access operation to our Cosmos DB was done. Beside this there is a field that specifies what was th...

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

Cloud Myths: Cloud is Cheaper (Pill 1 of 5 / Cloud Pills) The idea that moving to the cloud reduces the costs is a common misconception. The cloud infrastructure provides flexibility, scalability, and better CAPEX, but it does not guarantee lower costs without proper optimisation and management of the cloud services and infrastructure. Idle and unused resources, overprovisioning, oversize databases, and unnecessary data transfer can increase running costs. The regional pricing mode, multi-cloud complexity, and cost variety add extra complexity to the cost function. Cloud adoption without a cost governance strategy can result in unexpected expenses. Improper usage, combined with a pay-as-you-go model, can result in a nightmare for business stakeholders who cannot track and manage the monthly costs. Cloud-native services such as AI services, managed databases, and analytics platforms are powerful, provide out-of-the-shelve capabilities, and increase business agility and innovation. H...

Cloud Myths: Migrating to the cloud is quick and easy (Pill 2 of 5 / Cloud Pills)

The idea that migration to the cloud is simple, straightforward and rapid is a wrong assumption. It’s a common misconception of business stakeholders that generates delays, budget overruns and technical dept. A migration requires laborious planning, technical expertise and a rigorous process.  Migrations, especially cloud migrations, are not one-size-fits-all journeys. One of the most critical steps is under evaluation, under budget and under consideration. The evaluation phase, where existing infrastructure, applications, database, network and the end-to-end estate are evaluated and mapped to a cloud strategy, is crucial to ensure the success of cloud migration. Additional factors such as security, compliance, and system dependencies increase the complexity of cloud migration.  A misconception regarding lift-and-shits is that they are fast and cheap. Moving applications to the cloud without changes does not provide the capability to optimise costs and performance, leading to ...
