Brewing BeerTurn water into beer

How we got started…

How we got started…

• MVP Summit 2011–Wade Wegner tells us about his

hobby

• MVP Summit 2012–Wade Wegner tells us about his

hobby

• We nodded at each other

The process

• Get your kegs clean• Add & cook ingredients• Pour in keg• Add yeast• Rinse

Difficult part # 1…

Wait for fermentation to complete

The process

• Pour into another keg• Rinse• Wait another week• Bottling time!

Difficult part # 2…

Wait 6 weeks for it to age

Panos, Maarten…

What the f* does this haveto do with Windows Azure?

Windows Azure Web Sites

Scale-fast has just become more interesting

Windows Azure Web Sites

Build with ASP.NET, Node.js or PHP Deploy in seconds with FTP, Git or

TFS Start for free, scale up as your

traffic grows

Service Bus& Access Control Service

Connecting sensors

Windows Azure Service Bus

• 2 features–Relay–Queues, Topics, Subscriptions

Topic populated by sensors

SensorBackendWorkers

Characteristics

• Workers can scale independently–Loosely coupled architecture

• Sensors connect to service bus directly–No layer in between

What about authN / authZ?

• Access Control Service to the rescue!

• SB authenticates clients over ACS

• ACS provides “Send” claim to sensor

• Claims can be granted/revoked easily

How do you link a sensor?

• Every sensor has its sensor ID• Add it as an identity to ACS• Grant a “Send” claim

Linking a sensor to a brew

A step further!

• Custom application• Consume the data from devices• Exchange information with the

app• In other words, an API

ASP.NET MVC Web API

• <frenglish>Being h-appy about the API </frenglish>

• Use it to build your public API• Secure it using claims from ACS

ASP.NET MVC Web API

• Easy to add, it’s just a another project

• Supports all cool stuff, like JSON, XML etc.

• It’s MVC, that means awesome!

Coding took an arrow to the knee

Takeaways

Keep in mind…

• Web Sites start cheap / scale fast• Combine at will (IaaS, PaaS,

SaaS)• Service bus for asynchrony and

scale• Access Control for devices• Web API
