What is Service Fabric

Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform for Linux and Windows that makes it easy to package, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable microservices and containers. It is designed to simplify infrastructure and focus on implementing mission-critical, demanding workloads that are scalable, reliable, and manageable.

It is deployable in on-premise, Microsoft Azure, Amazon AWS… and has a number of unique features:

Container (Windows & Linux) deployment and orchestration
Host any process as a Guest Executable
Reliable stateless and stateful programming model for Java or .NET
Reliable Actors programming model to create cloud objects with self-contained code and state
Built-in state model to persist highly-available state
Monitor and diagnose the health of applications and set policies for performing automatic repairs
Resource balancer orchestrate the automatically redistributes applications across the cluster, based on policies and resource utilization. Service Fabric recovers from failures and optimizes the distribution of load based on available resources Rolling upgrades of running process without downtime, including breaking and nonbreaking upgrades

Azure’s core infrastructure is based on Service Fabric and service such as Azure SQL, Bing, Cosmos DB, IoT Hub, Event Hub etc. are all running on Service Fabric.
