Abstract: A cloud manager controls the deployment and management of machines for an online service. A build system creates deployment-ready virtual hard disks (VHDs) that are installed on machines that are spread across one or more networks in farms that each may include different configurations. The build system is configured to build VHDs of differing configurations that depend on a role of the virtual machine (VM) for which the VHD will be used. The build system uses the VHDs to create virtual machines (VMs) in both test and production environments for the online service. The cloud manager system automatically provisions machines with the created virtual hard disks (VHDs). Identical VHDs can be installed directly on the machines that have already been tested.

Abstract translation: 云管理员控制在线服务机器的部署和管理。 构建系统创建部署就绪的虚拟硬盘（VHD），它们安装在分布在农场中的一个或多个网络的计算机上，每个网络可能包含不同的配置。 构建系统被配置为构建依赖于将要使用VHD的虚拟机（VM）的角色的不同配置的VHD。 构建系统使用VHD在在线服务的测试和生产环境中创建虚拟机（VM）。 云管理器系统自动为所创建的虚拟硬盘（VHD）提供机器。 相同的VHD可以直接安装在已经测试的机器上。

Abstract: A secondary location of a network acts as a recovery network for a primary location of the service. The secondary location is maintained in a warm state that is configured to replace the primary location in a case of a failover. During normal operation, the primary location actively services user load and performs backups that include full backups, incremental backups and transaction logs that are automatically replicated to the secondary location. Information is stored (e.g. time, retry count) that may be used to assist in determining when the backups are restored correctly at the secondary location. The backups are restored and the transaction logs are replayed at the secondary location to reflect changes (content and administrative) that are made to the primary location. After failover to the secondary location, the secondary location becomes the primary location and begins to actively service the user load.

Abstract: A cloud manager assists in deploying and managing networks for an online service. The cloud manager system receives requests to perform operations relating to configuring, updating and performing tasks in networks that are used in providing the online service. The management of the assets may comprise deploying machines, updating machines, removing machines, performing configuration changes on servers, Virtual Machines (VMs), as well as performing other tasks relating to the management. The cloud manager is configured to receive requests through an idempotent and asynchronous application programming interface (API) that can not rely on a reliable network.

Abstract: Software that would not normally be able to be installed on a machine through a remote process is installed by a high privilege installer running on the machine. A request is received from a remote machine to install software on the machine using the high privilege installer. The high privilege installer determines when software that was requested remotely is to be installed. For example, the high privilege installer may monitor an install queue for software to be installed. When there are entries in the install queue, the high privilege installer is used to install the software. When there are no entries in the install queue, the high privilege installer may sleep until there is more software that is identified to be installed.

Abstract translation: 通常不能通过远程进程安装在机器上的软件由机器上运行的高特权安装程序安装。 从远程机器收到请求，使用高权限安装程序在机器上安装软件。 高权限安装程序确定何时要安装远程请求的软件。 例如，高权限安装程序可以监视要安装的软件的安装队列。 当安装队列中有条目时，将使用高权限安装程序来安装该软件。 当安装队列中没有条目时，高权限安装程序可能会休眠，直到有更多的软件被识别为安装。

Abstract: An online service includes managed databases that include one or more tenants (e.g. customers, users). A multi-tenant database may be split between two or more databases while the database being split continues processing requests. For example, web servers continue to request operations on the database while content is being moved. After moving the content, tenant traffic is automatically redirected to the database that contains the tenant's content.

Abstract translation: 在线服务包括包含一个或多个租户（例如客户，用户）的托管数据库。 多租户数据库可以在两个或更多个数据库之间分割，而数据库被分割则继续处理请求。 例如，Web服务器在移动内容时继续请求对数据库的操作。 移动内容后，租户流量将自动重定向到包含租户内容的数据库。

Abstract: A machine manager controls the deployment and management of machines (physical and virtual) for an online service. Multi-tier server groups are arranged in farms that each may include different configurations. For example, their may be content farms, federated services farms and SQL farms that are arranged to perform operations for the online service. When the multiple farms are upgraded, new farms are deployed and the associated content databases from the old farms are moved to the newly deployed farms. During the upgrade of the farms, requests may continue to be processed by the farms. The farms may be automatically load balanced during an upgrade. As content becomes available on the new farm, requests for the content may be automatically redirected to the new farm.

Abstract: An online service includes databases that are upgraded while still processing requests. For example, web servers continue to request operations on the database while it is being upgraded. The schema of the database is upgraded before the web servers are upgraded to utilize the upgraded schema. Changes that are made to the upgraded schema are backwards compatible with the schema being used during the upgrade process. Restrictions are placed on the operations performed on the database during the upgrade process. After upgrading the schema, the web servers of the online service are upgraded to use the upgraded schema.

Abstract translation: 在线服务包括在处理请求时升级的数据库。 例如，Web服务器在升级时继续请求对数据库的操作。 在升级Web服务器以利用已升级的架构之前，将升级数据库的架构。 对升级架构所做的更改与升级过程中正在使用的模式向后兼容。 在升级过程中对数据库执行的操作进行限制。 升级架构后，在线服务的Web服务器将升级为使用已升级的架构。

Abstract: A secondary location is configured as a recovery service for a primary location of the service. The secondary location is maintained in a warm state that is configured to replace the primary location in a case of a failover. During normal operation, the secondary location is automatically updated to reflect a current state of the primary location that is actively servicing user load. Content changes to the primary location are automatically reflected to the secondary location. System changes applied to the primary location are automatically applied to the secondary location. For example, removing/adding machines, updating machine/role assignments, removing adding/database are automatically applied to the secondary location such that the secondary location substantially mirrors the primary location. After a failover to the secondary location, the secondary location becomes the primary location and begins to actively service the user load.

Abstract: A machine manager controls the deployment and management of machines for an online service. The machine manager is configured to manually/automatically deploy farms, upgrade farms, add machines, remove machines, start machines, stop machines, and the like. The machine manager keeps track of the locations of the machines, the roles of the machines within the networks, as well as other characteristics relating to the machines (e.g. health of the machines). Instead of upgrading software on the machines in a farm that are currently handling requests, one or more machines are configured in a new farm with the selected disk images and then the requests are moved from the old farm to the new farm.
