Architecting Resilient (Cloud) Applications

The cloud doesn’t magically make applications perform better or avoid failures. Cloud infrastructure can—and will—fail from time to time, and it’s up to the application architect to compose applications in a highly available manner. How can you identify single points of failure, stamp them out, and design applications with exceptional uptime? This session investigates best practices for building highly available applications, discusses "anti-patterns" that limit scalability, and walks through a sample application that leverages the best of what Microsoft Azure has to offer. See how to assemble applications that use Microsoft Azure Web Sites, Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Service Bus, and much more.
