Azure Service Fabric and Azure Mesh are Azure services that provide infrastructure and platform-level support for building and deploying microservices applications.
Azure Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that simplifies building and deploying scalable and reliable microservices-based applications. It provides features like automatic scaling, rolling upgrades, and health monitoring, and supports multiple programming languages and frameworks.
Azure Mesh is a managed service that enables running microservices-based applications on a fully managed platform without the need to manage underlying infrastructure. It provides features like automatic scaling, built-in load balancing, and service discovery, and supports multiple environments and platforms.
Here's an example of how you can create and deploy a simple microservice application using Azure Service Fabric and .NET Core:
- Create a new Service Fabric application project in Visual Studio
dotnet new servicefabric -n MyService -o MyService
- Add a new stateless service to the application
public class MyService : StatelessService
{
protected override Task RunAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
// TODO: Implement your service logic here
return Task.CompletedTask;
}
}
- Build and publish the application to Azure Service Fabric cluster
msbuild /t:Build MyService.sln
msbuild /t:Package MyService/MyService.sfproj
Copy-ServiceFabricApplicationPackage -ApplicationPackagePath .\MyService\pkg\Debug -ImageStoreConnectionString "file:C:\SfDevCluster\Data\ImageStoreShare" -ApplicationPackagePathInImageStore MyServiceType
- Deploy the application to Azure Service Fabric cluster using PowerShell
Connect-ServiceFabricCluster -ConnectionEndpoint "<your_cluster_connection_string>"
New-ServiceFabricApplication -ApplicationName fabric:/MyApp -ApplicationTypeName MyServiceType -ApplicationTypeVersion 1.0.0 -ApplicationParameter @{Parameter1 = "Value1"}
Using Azure Mesh, you can deploy a microservice application without the need to manage the underlying infrastructure. You can define your application using YAML or JSON files, and deploy it to a Mesh application instance.
Here's an example of how you can define a simple microservice application using Azure Mesh YAML:
apiVersion: v1
kind: AppServiceMesh
metadata:
name: my-mesh
spec:
networkTopology:
resources:
- name: frontend
type: Microsoft.Network/frontEnds
properties:
endpoint: "http://frontend.example.com"
- name: backend
type: Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines
properties:
image: "myimage:latest"
services:
- name: frontend
type: http
properties:
replicas: 3
image: "frontend:latest"
port: 80
endpoint: "http://frontend.example.com"
- name: backend
type: tcp
properties:
replicas: 3
image: "backend:latest"
port: 8080
This YAML file defines a mesh application with a frontend and a backend service, and specifies the number of replicas and the image for each service. Once defined, the application can be deployed to a Mesh instance using Azure CLI or Azure Portal.
