Aaron Saikovski

- The document discusses taking SharePoint to the cloud by examining various cloud options including SharePoint Online (Office 365), SharePoint on Azure IaaS, SharePoint on AWS IaaS, and on-premises or private cloud. - It provides an overview of the architecture and deployment considerations for setting up SharePoint farms on each of these platforms, including high availability configurations, pricing estimates, and key differences between the options. - Examples of SharePoint reference architectures for Azure and AWS IaaS deployments are presented, demonstrating how to build scalable and resilient SharePoint environments in the public cloud.

SharePoint Cloud Story
Cloud Goals  Scale up/down as demand grows/shrinks  It must be secure and supported  Simply consume the service  Easily manage costs, pay for what I use  Running latest versions  99.9% uptime  Flexibility and Choice  Single Sign on  Easy to understand SLAs  Spin up multiple environments quickly (Dev, UAT..)
SharePoint Cloud Story  SharePoint is now “Cloud” ready  Scale up/out/down – elasticity  99.9% uptime is achievable  Plan for failure..Always!  Lots of choice - Office365, Azure, AWS,Private cloud  SharePoint roles/tiers suit cloud deployments  Patching is still fun   Provision in hours not days  Billing is easy to manage. Pay by the hour/month  Plan -> Test -> Deploy -> Stabilise -> Go Live..Faster
SharePoint Reference Architectures
SharePoint Architecture (Quick Review)  WFE  Query  Request manager  Application servers  Central Administration  Search component  Application services  SQL Server  Central Administration  Config databases  Content databases  Search databases Don’t forget Office Web Apps needs its own farm!!
Highly Available SharePoint Farm (Sample)
Microsoft Azure
Azure IaaS – Basic SharePoint Farm
Azure IaaS – Basic SharePoint Farm..cont  Good for Dev/Test workloads- No HA!!!  We can choose to provision on SSDs (Recommended)  No VM availability sets or failover  Provisioned in about 1 hour  OWA not officially supported in Azure..Yet  Resource grouping for easy management and billing
Azure IaaS – Basic SharePoint Farm..cont  VMs:  Active Directory DC (A1 - $67.57 per month)  A1 (1 core, 1.75 GB RAM, No SSD) - $0.091/hr (Default)  D1 (1 core, 3.5GM RAM, 40GB SSD) - $0.161/hr  SQL Server (A5 - $225.24 per month)  A5 (2 cores, 14 GB RAM, No SSD) - $0.303/hr (Default)  D11 (2 cores, 14 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD) - $0.37/hr  SharePoint Server (A2 - $135.14 per month)  A2 (2 cores, 3.5 GB RAM, No SSD) - $0.182/hr (Default)  D2 (2 cores, 7 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD) - $0.321/hr  Cheap to run – Approx. $0.576AUD per hour with defaults
Azure IaaS – Highly Available SharePoint Farm
Azure IaaS – Highly Available SharePoint Farm..cont  VMs in availability sets (Recommended for VMs)  We can choose to provision on SSDs (Recommended)  SQL Always-On enabled for database resiliency  Provisioned in about 3-4 hours – 9 VMs to provision  OWA not officially supported in Azure..Yet  Resource grouping for easy management and billing  Don’t forget the SharePoint 2013 licenses
Azure IaaS – Highly Available SharePoint Farm..cont  VMs:  Active Directory DC (x2)  A1 (1 core, 1.75 GB RAM, No SSD) - $0.091/hr  SQL Server (x3)  D3 (4 cores, 14 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD) - $0.642/hr  A1 (1 core, 1.75 GB RAM) (Witness) - $0.091/hr  SharePoint Server (x 4)  D2 (2 cores, 7 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD) - $0.321/hr  Cheap to run – Approx. $2.52AUD per hour
Amazon Web Services
AWS SharePoint 2013 Reference Architecture
AWS SharePoint 2013 Reference Architecture..cont  Deployed in a highly available architecture  CloudFormation template for “stack” automation  Follows AWS and Microsoft “best practices”  Servers placed across two Availability Zones (HA) in a region  Remote access via RD gateways through public subnets in each AZ (Security)  Public and Private IP Subnets (Best practice!!!)  Load balancing provided to WFEs via Elastic Load Balancer  SQL Always-On enabled for database resiliency
AWS SharePoint 2013 Reference Architecture..cont  Office Web Apps – optional CloudFormation parameter  Stack provisioned in about 3 hours  Don’t forget the SharePoint 2013 licenses - BYOL!!  EC2 VMs:  WFE - c3.2xlarge (8 vCPU, 15GB RAM, 100GB EBS GP2 SSD) - $0.953/hr  App Server - c3.2xlarge (8 vCPU, 15GB RAM, 100GB EBS GP2 SSD) - $0.953/hr  Database - r3.2xlarge (8 vCPU, 61GB RAM, 100GB EBS GP2 SSD) - $1.292/hr  Cheap to run – Approx. $9USD per hour with defaults

SharePoint Cloud Options
SharePoint On-Prem or Private Cloud  You own and run the farm i.e. patching etc.  Can take time to build environment(s) – weeks, days, hours  Usually pre-built for you or templated  Must plan for HA/DR (RPO, RTO)  Single or Multiple datacentres but $$$$  Check SLAs (99.9%?)  Requires dedicated staff – ongoing maintenance  Run full trust code, timer jobs etc  Get familiar with hourly billing model
SharePoint IaaS (Azure or AWS) • Shared responsibility model • You plan, build and patch the SharePoint environment • AWS & Azure both in Australia. • HA/DR – Select Azure Region/AZ • Pay for compute consumption • Usually 99.9% uptime if more than 1 VM per zone/AZ • Similar to a hosted model but you have more control • PAYG Utility computing – simple billing, hourly • Fast provisioning in about 3 hours • Don’t forget monitoring • Pretty much do anything you want • Run full trust code, timer jobs, patching • Set IOPS, Memory, VM sizes etc.
SharePoint on AWS (Amazon EC2) • CloudFormation template to automate deployment • Completely scripted and replayable stack • Very secure and resilient deployment • AWS ELB to load balance across EC2 instances • Secure RDP access to EC2 instances • Public/private subnets secure network • Secure networking via Network ACLS and security groups • SSD backed EC2 Instances • EBS SSD - 3 IOPS/GB and burstable 3,000 IOPS Max. • EBS Provisioned IOPS - 30 IOPS/GB – 4,000 IOPS (Max. sustained) • New bigger and faster EBS volumes coming soon! • 16TB – 10,000 Baseline IOPS (GP2 SSD EBS) • 16TB – 20,000 PIOPS EBS
SharePoint on Microsoft Azure (IaaS) • ResourceManager and PowerShell DSC to “script” deployment • New “D” series VMs with ephemeral SSD storage • Coming to Aust 2015 • New Azure portal creates SP farm • Resource Groups to “contain” and manage the stack • Attached VHD Max disk performance: 500 IOPS per disk • Provisioned IOPS are coming…”soon” • Office Web Apps not supported as yet
SharePoint on Microsoft Azure (IaaS)..Cont New Azure D-Series VM - Specs Name Cores Memory (GB) Local SSD Size (GB) Local SSD Max IOPS Local SSD Max Read MB/s Local SSD Max Write MB/s Standard_D1 1 3.5 50 3,000 48 24 Standard_D2 2 7 100 6,000 96 48 Standard_D3 4 14 200 12,000 192 96 Standard_D4 8 28 400 24,000 384 192 Standard_D11 2 14 100 6,000 96 48 Standard_D12 4 28 200 12,000 192 96 Standard_D13 8 56 400 24,000 384 192 Standard_D14 16 112 800 48,000 768 384
SharePoint Online (SaaS) • Choose where to provision the O365 tenant • DirSync and ADFS required for Single Sign On • Nothing to patch, run or maintain! • 99.9% uptime • Virtually unlimited storage • 1TB per Site Collection • 1TB OneDrive for Business • No server side or full trust code allowed!! • Easy to maintain and manage • Limited PowerShell support (Get-SPOSite etc) Reference: http://office.microsoft.com/en-au/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits- HA102694293.aspx
SharePoint Online/Hybrid • When you need to maintain an on-premises environment for security reasons • Main use cases: • Hybrid Search • SAP/Duet (Must be Hybrid) • Line Of Business Systems • Useful for the “data sovereignty” conversation • Can use Azure or AWS for “on premises”
