Azure Videos

Scott at PDC09 in Los Angeles this week and got a great opportunity to get a guided tour of a piece of the Windows Azure Cloud from Patrick Yantz, a Cloud Architect with Data Center Services. You may think it's a Cloud Container, but it's not! Join me on this very technical 15 minute deep dive inside the making of the hardware behind the Windows Azure Cloud.

Two areas I am looking at right now are SQL Azure and Entity Framework 4. PDC had plenty of content on both these areas. Just need to find the time to watch some of it! I have added direct links to the standard definition WMV and the PPTs to download (which is what I am doing right now).

Windows Azure was the big topic on day 1 of the PDC conference in LA. Ray Ozzie opened the conference with a keynote position Windows Azure and Microsoft’s “three screens and a cloud” vision. I particularly liked the introduction of SQL Azure Data Sync to connect on-premises data to SQL Azure and Windows Azure storage. I also like the ability to map custom domains and the Windows Azure CDN. A big surprise was the announcement of Microsoft “Dallas” Microsoft code-name “Dallas” is a Windows Azure- and Microsoft SQL Azure Database-powered information service that brings together data and imagery from leading commercial content providers and authoritative public data sources, under a unified provisioning and billing framework. Developers can sign up for the free invitation-only Microsoft code-name “Dallas” CTP, which will be commercially available in 2010. With the Azure platform set to start commercial operation in New Zealand on the first of Feb next year now is the time to start looking at this technology. Beginning January 2010, new customers will be able to sign up for an offer to access services on the Windows Azure platform. Usage during the month of January will be at no charge, so you can see your exact usage while still enjoying free service. On February 1, 2010, we will begin charging customers for using the Windows Azure platform. If you want access to the platform sooner I recommend that you come along to the Azure unplugged event in December where Mike & Ryan will be distributing CTP tokens to developers. Below are just some of the resources that have been updated at the PDC.

Siemens, a Microsoft Partner, is using Azure for a remote service use case. By using Azure, Siemens doesn’t need to create a new IT department to manage clusters all over the world: Azure spins up the instances. This allows Siemens to only worry about computation, and Microsoft addresses the hardware, people, and IT costs. Gerald Kaefer, Siemens Architect, explains...
