Windows Azure Integration Pack

Greetings!

Feel free to suggest stories and vote for the existing ones to help us determine what will go in the release of the Enterprise Library 5.0 Windows Azure Integration Pack.

Please note this list may not always represent the actual priority list for the patterns & practices development team. It also does not constitute any commitments.

There are at least 4 pages of stories. Make sure to review all of them.

What do you want to see in Windows Azure Integration Pack for Enterprise Library?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Application rationing (throttling)

    As a developer, I want a mechanism to detect higher resource utilization and change modes of operation to utilize less resources. This will allow to deal with bursts in demand without provisioning additional instances.

  2. Instance auto-scaling: reactive: trends analysis

    As an account owner, I want to be able to identify trends and specify auto-scaling criteria (rulesets) based on historic data. [Please be concrete with what kind of trends analysis and tools you'd like to have]

  3. Instance auto-scaling: scheduled

    As a developer or app administrator, I want a provisioning mechanism to schedule the number of instances of each role for specific time periods. These instances should be spun off or torn down without user's intervention. [Please comment on the granularity of timing - per hour, per day, the day of the week etc.]

  5. Instance auto-scaling: reactive

    As a developer or app administrator, I want a provisioning mechanism to specify rulesets/triggers to scale up/down the number of instances according to resource monitoring metrics. This mechanism should have hard boundaries to avoid unbudgeted expenses. [Please comment on what resource metrics matter to you - CPU utilization, bandwidth, # requests, queue length etc.]

  6. Hybrid auto-scaling (application and instance)

    Action can be both instance and application scaling (e.g. when treshold X is reached, spin up to 5 new instances of worker roles and if that is not enough to deal with the burst, do application scale down to the next level/mode of operation.

  7. Auto-scaling: history

    As an administrator or account owner, I want to be able to see the history of the number of instances and/or application modes of operation along with what triggered the specificscaling activities so that I could understand and minotor the compute hours and plan my resource usage.

  9. Auto-scaling: resource optimization

    As an administrator or account owner, I want the scaling-down decisions to be made with the consideration of the minimum unit of billing (for example, compute time hour). For example, do not scale down immediately before a paid hour of compute time is fully utilized.

  11. Auto-scaling: reactive: approval workflow

    As an administrator or account owner, I want to receive a request for auto-scaling when the conditions are met, that I can approve or deny in a specified timeframe (by e-mail or with a tool), and if no answer to the request is done in time, a specified default action will be used.
