Microsoft is committed to delivering customers a consistent platform regardless of deployment location and calls this vision the Cloud OS. As part of this strategy, Microsoft is now enabling Hosting Service Providers to use Windows Server and System Center to deliver the same great experiences already found in Windows Azure. The first two of these finished services are high density website hosting and virtual machine provisioning and management. Hosting Service Providers enable these modules through the new Service Management API and optional portal, which will continue to add more services from Microsoft and 3rd party providers over time.
Web Sites
Create high scale, multi-tenant website hosting services that are simple to deploy and administer, operating tens of thousands of sites in a single web farm. Out of the box automation lowers customer onboarding costs while metering and throttling of resources can help tailor customer offerings. Supports many frameworks including ASP.NET, Classic ASP, PHP and Node.js with full Git integration for Source Code Control. Integration of the Web App Gallery allows customers access to popular web applications.
Download and install the Web Sites service on machines dedicated for the Web Sites roles.
Virtual Machines
Create extensible 'Infrastructure as a Service' offerings for Windows Server and Linux Virtual Machines. Leverage the power of System Center and Windows Server to easily create an Infrastructure as a Service solution for customers to provision and manage Windows Server and Linux VMs. This flexible multi-tenant solution puts Hosting Service Providers’ customers in control of how they grow their datacenter resources while lowering support costs.
Download the System Center 2012 SP1 Beta and install and configure SPF per the deployment guide.
Service Management Portal and API
Administer Web Sites and Virtual Machine services on Windows Server while also offering customers the same Windows 8-style self-service user experience as found on Windows Azure to provision and manage their Web Sites and Virtual Machines. Customize and extend the portal experiences using the REST-based Service Management API to include branding, billing, custom service integration as well as integration into existing portals.
Download the Service Management Portal and Service Management API Beta Express bits to install the Admin and Tenant portals, and the Service Management API on one machine.
Download the WebPI and click on the Products tab. Select Windows Azure to deploy the portals and the Service Management API on separate machines.
