Windows Azure Pack
… and now the important stuff… 
Key Windows Azure Pack Concepts
 Resource Provider
 REST API-driven service that creates and manages resource types (VMs, websites, databases)
 Plans
 Collections of services and quotas per service that are offered to tenants. Represents a tier of service
 Users
 Identities are managed via AD and ASP.NET membership. ADFS can also be set up to federate to other
identities providers
 Subscriptions
 Users sign up for a subscription to a plan. Each subscription has a unique ID. Users can access resources (VMs,
websites, databases) via their subscription.
 Resource providers govern specific access controls and quota limits via the subscription
 It is a billing entity that can be charged for tier of service as well as resource consumption
 Add-Ons
 Collections of services and quotas per service that allows users to add quotas to their existing subscriptions

Step-by-Step Configurations
 Fabric Configuration
 Configure / add storage resources (add / create file servers, storage providers, etc.)
 Configure / add compute resources (add / create hosts)
 Configure / add networking resources (add logical / VM networks, port profiles, logical switches,
etc.)
 Cloud Configuration
 Create templates (hardware profiles / VM templates)
 Create cloud
 Configure SPF account permission
 Test configuration

Tips… (1)
 install the latest updates (WAP, System Center, OS, …)
 be careful with VMM UR 4 – no SQL script, but additional installation required! (DHCP)
 http://blog.kaniski.eu/2014/11/tip-hosts-have-needs-attention-status-after-installing-the-vmm-2012-r2-ur4/
 use the SQL mixed-mode authentication…
 … and ‘sa’ (or equivalent) account where possible
 keep in mind the local SPF registration account
 know exactly when will your service account passwords
expire, and act accordingly!
 things change between releases… (version == release)
 don’t forget the planning phase 
Tips… (2)
 don’t rename machines aftewards 
 there is also a thing called Windows Azure Pack Express
 using the preconfigured Gallery Resources
 download and install Web Platform Installer (WebPI)
 http://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx
 add Custom feed (in Options)
 http://www.microsoft.com/web/webpi/partners/servicemodels.xml
 select Gallery Resources
 download the required Gallery Resources
 note that the „Readme files” are also important!
 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn457794.aspx
Tips… (3)
 deploying the gallery resources




Generation 1 VHD(X)!
family name, release, OS set!
VHD needs to be tagged!
data disk
 family, release, OS = None
 Hyper-V
 optional
 library share needs to be exposed to the cloud!
 clouds have no capability profiles set!
Tips… (4)
 add the MySQL provider
 install the provider (WebPI – MySQL 5.5)
 don’t forget to open the port 3306 
 mysql cmd:
 grant all on *.* to 'root'@'%' identified by 'P@ssw0rd' with grant option;
 configure:
 admin portal
 add server
 add group
 add it to plan
 use
 there is no uninstaller for some things… yet!
Tips… (5)
 SPF checklist
 AppPool
 Ensure SPF VMM IIS Application Pool identity running as domain user (not network service account)
 SPF AppPool identity needs admin access to VMM and admin access on the SPF SQL DB
 When using a service account as AppPoolIdentity, login to the SPF server with this account once
 IIS W3WP AppPool recycles by default every 29 hours. You can customize it if desired
 Local User
 SPF integration with Windows Azure Pack through Basic Authentication method
 Create Local User on SPF Server, add it to SPF Local Groups (VMM, Admin, Provider, Usage)
 Use the Local User to register with the Azure Pack’s Service Management Portal and API (do not use a
domain user)
 Tenant Accounts
 No need to create any tenants from the SPF PowerShell cmdlets, this is handled automatically when users
sign up for a subscription.
 User roles created on VMM or SPF without going through Windows Azure Pack will not be exposed on the
Tenant / Admin portal
Tips… (6)
 VMM checklist
 add a host
 create a logical network
 IP pool is optional
 add a network site associated with VLAN 0
 create a port profile - uplink
 create a logical switch
 add uplink port profile to it
 create a VM Network
 add network to host – both switch & adapter
 create a cloud
 add the SPF account as a full administrator.
 create hardware profiles (small, medium, large)
 create a VM template
 use a VHD that is bootable and has been uploaded to the library
 create virtual machine on your cloud using the template to test everything
