I know about elastic search and run a server in Command prompt in Windows 10 and Work in ASP.NET MVC.
I just want to host in Azure platform. as i have been using shared hosting with SQL server before. so i Need help
What will be minimum requirement or features i have to get to host asp.net mvc application compatible with mobile apps ( providing Apis , not for large scale only for 1 , 2 application ) , with elastic search running at the end ?
Do i have to get virtual machine , documentDB etc features.
You have multiple solutions to your scenario.
Using ElasticSearch
1) To run ElasticSearch you need an Azure Virtual Machine, this could be one from the Marketplace, like, an Ubuntu Server. The size of the VM will depend on the load that it has to manage, maybe you can work with an S1 or you might need an S2. In this case, it's your responsability to expose the network interfases for the elastic search service.
2) For your Web App, you'd need an Azure Web App (App Services). Depending on the load, you can go with an S1/S2 and define your scaling strategy if you need to. There are plenty of tools to measure how your Web App is handling load (NewRelic / AppInsights).
3) Finally, it depends on your Data, but you might need to store it in a persistent storage, like Azure SQL or Azure DocumentDB (depends on the nature of the data) in case you need to rebuild your Elastic Search indexes (and thus reindex from the persistent store).
Using Azure Search
1) Instead of Elastic Search, you can use Azure Search, it will simplify the whole scenario, since it's SaaS (Soft-as-a-Service) and you don't need to maintain and configure a VM, just use the service API from your Web App. Under the hood, it's basically Elastic Search/Lucene with added things.
2) You still need the App Service for your Web App.
3) You still need the persistent storage (Azure SQL, DocumentDB) in case you need to reindex your information or create new indexes.
Basically it all boils down to 3 services (VM/Azure Search + App Service + SQL/DocumentDB) + the Network usage that your App consumes, that's how you'd calculate your costs.
We are currently using both solutions on our products (ElasticSearch for an ELK Logging platform / Azure Search for our main client products) and both work well, but it depends really on your wallet and the kind of implementation times you have, the Azure Search approach might be faster.

I want to design an application using AWS as IAAS, Docker as PAAS and Spring Boot and Spring cloud as application technology.
For this, I googled and read a lot of blogs and watch videos but could not find any answer for that.
I developed one application using Spring Boot and Spring cloud technology, and the application architecture looks like below image.
This design looks good and working fine as per expectation.
Now the new task is, I need to use the cloud (AWS) as Infrastructure and Docker.
For that, I designed one more architecture, and it looks like below image.
The component as follows:
ELB - (Elastic Load Balancer) -> Target Group (Part of Auto Scaling) -> EC2 instance (will be created more on demand)
Now if I want to integrate my previous design then I think there is not need of Zuul server here because this load balancing is done by ELB, the second I do not need Service Discovery component as well because it will be done by Target AutoScale group.
I am a little bit confused here with Spring Cloud and AWS infrastructure.
Could someone help me to make really simple how I can integrate these components to work together?
Thanks
Why Spring Cloud with AWS ?
Let's take example when you need Spring Cloud even if your architecture is deployed on AWS infra :
Imagine your Product service need to communicate with your Order Service, in this case you will see Spring Cloud utility.
You don't see the necessity of Spring Cloud because you don't have an internal communication (between your services) and this is the role of Registry service.
Why Gateway service (Zuul in your architecture) ?
Again, your current architecture don't use (need) the powerful of Gateway pattern.
Let's assume your system need to aggregate multiple results from different services to response to client request. You can do this in Gateway (Zuul in your case).
Another advantage to use Gateway service is you can use it as a unified front door to your system, which allows a browser, mobile app or other user interface to consume services from multiple hosts without managing cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) and authentication for each one.
Important :
It's fine to not use Spring Cloud, is not a rule or THE right way to implement microservices architecture. If you don't need it don't use it.
I'm hoping someone has ventured into hosting ASP MVC site with Google cloud perhaps even leveraged google components with pricing. Last week they released a help guide on ASP MVC with Google cloud, however it only accounts for Windows server and not ASP MVC with Linux. For me, the complexity comes in when I want to tap into other google components like bigquery etc.
I have 2 questions:
Technical: Which google cloud components do I need or select to host the ASP MVC site. (Since .NET is supported, I am talking about cloud sites, similar to Azure)
Compute Pricing: Given that they have pricing based on compute engine/app eninge etc. How do I estimate/calculate the pricing
It depends on what you want to do with the web site and how much you want to configure yourself.
The compute engine is an infrastructure as a service environment, where you will have to configure and manage all the resources you require. This is the cheapest, most flexible option, but requires the overhead of configuring the VM's yourself. You'll need to use the compute engine to configure your .net application. Take a look at Google Compute Engine and this will help with a Linux instance Quickstart Using a Linux VM
The app engine provides a Platform as a Service meaning you just deploy and platform manages resources. This will cost more, but will manage code for some popular languages like Java, Python, PHP or Go (unfortunately .net is not covered). Take a look at Google App Engine
If you have a data storage need for your site, the you'll have to decide what you want to store and how.
Cloud Storage for fully managed data store holding images, blobs and unstructured data.
Cloud Data Store for semi structured NoSQL data.
Cloud SQL for MySQL instance, useful for OLTP
BigQuery for analytic / enterprise data warehouse projects
You can read about the various data store option Google Cloud Data Store Options
In regards to the cost element of your question, you'll have to overlay your requirements onto Google's offerings to build up an estimate. Unfortunately, not having a relevant app engine option will complicate that for you
My company is about provide e-commercial website service and finding the best solution for deployment.
Our application is a multi-tenant e-commercial application. Once purchased, our customer has a website. The newly created website can be browsed by default subdomain on our domain (our domain is invishop.com) eg: mikeshop.invishop.com. The website also can be browsed by customer's custom domain. This requires to create CNAME record to our domain name (invishop.com). Our multi-tenant application is developed in ASP.NET MVC platform.
The simplest solution our considered is Windows hosting with Dedicated IP but this solution does not meet big users requirement. Our application will be used by up to 1000 or higher at a same time. If we deploy our service on shared ASP.NET hosting our service is always can not access. We want to run our application on higher availability Infrastructure but do not want to focus on building and managing Infrastructure. We only want to focus on develop our application and business.
So what service we should use ?
You can use Azure virtual machines for hosting. VMs are scalable and you can make availability set with other VMs. So, if is going down (update etc), the second will working. You can create virtual network and assign some VMs to it (Web server and database server). You can use backup services for each VM too.
You can make VM with dedicated IP - Be careful it is possible to configure ONLY before you make VM - you must use PowerShell.
Create dedicated IP via PowerShell (see on internet commands)
Create virtual network (not necessary)
create VM - web server and assign it to IP via PowerShell
create VM - SQL server
Configure server for IIS - it is possible to host multiple websites on one VM via host names (I use this). Add A record to your domain(xyz.com and www.xyz.com and your dedicated IP)
I have a single MVC.net web project that will be deployed for multiple customers
The code base and database structure is identical for each customer however on deployment, different CSS and images are used giving each customer their own look and feel.
Each application needs to have the same root url, mydomain.com. I would like to be able to configure so that when a user navigates to mydomain.com/site1 then they are shown customer A's specific deployment of the application. I would also like these deployments to be running on separate app pools (or similar).
mydomain.com/site1
mydomain.com/site2
mydomain.com/site3
I'm currently deploying to an Azure cloud service and using SQL Azure for the database (one DB shared by each cloud service).
How can I setup the above structure using Azure cloud services and ensure that all our customers can use the same root URL but have different complete applications for all of the multiple sites?
Can this be done using virtual directories on an Azure cloud service?
If not, what would be the best way of achieving this?
I will developp and host an e-commerce website based on Asp.Net MVC4 (with several SQL Server Jobs).
I think use Azure in order to stay in Microsoft's world and avoid dedicated server management.
The package Web Site Shared with 1 site / 5Go SQL Server Database / 200Go Bandwidth is very interesting with the price based on 12 months.
But i don't know if this configuration is enough specially on the bandwidth.
What do you think of ? Did you use Azure with this type of application ?

If you want to develop E-Commerce application you will have to secure customers' sensitive data i.e. credit cards, address details etc. via secure connections (HTTPS; in many countries this is legal requirement). For that reason you will have to have SSL support.
Azure Website do not support SSL for custom domains. However, they support SSL for *.azurewebsites.net DNS name. So if your E-Commerce application DNS will be, say, my-ecom-app.azurewebsites.net then it's fine. Otherwise, I would not recommend Azure Website solution yet (I am sure SSL support for custom domains on Azure Website will be implemented).
Azure Cloud Services, on the other had, have full support of SSL for custom domains.
One of the really good websites to check Azure features and development roadmap is ScottGu's Blog
Azure Web Sites do not support SSL and I really don't know of any successful e-commerce site that does not run SSL for at least part of the website. If you really want to host your e-commerce on Azure today your only real choice is to run Virtual Machines for your web front end servers and use them for your DB or use SQL Azure.
We developed platform called Virto Commerce that does just that, MVC4 website hosted on Azure. There was also a need for SQL Jobs (indexing, payment processing, cart cleanups and so on) for which we used WorkerRole (instead of WebRole). WorkerRole and WebRole can actually be combined as part of a single deployment, however it is better to use a different instance for worker roles. In our case WorkerRole acted as a scheduler for multiple jobs defined in the database.
The challenge with WorkerRoles however is to make sure they scale well when new instances are added. So the workload needs to be distributed between multiple instances. This is done through the use of queues and blob locks, where each job is now split into two, one that schedules and partitions the work and the second that actually picks up the next partition and completes it.
Hope this helps!
PS: Virto Commerce is now available as an open source project on codeplex, go to http://virtocommerce.codeplex.com
