Session Abstract: Microsoft's Azure Services Platform is a cloud platform (cloud computing platform as a service). It provides a wide range of internet services that can be consumed from both on-premises environments or the internet. It is significant in that it is Microsoft's first step into cloud computing following the recent launch of the Microsoft Online Services offering. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage Web applications on the Internet. In this presentation, Adnan Masood illustrates how to create and host services in the cloud. Adnan highlights key features of the platform software development kit (SDK), addresses how to implement RESTful interfaces (available remotely and from the data center), and describes how to run Microsoft ASP.NET Web applications or Microsoft .NET code in the cloud. The presenter will discuss the concepts and implementation details surrounding cloud computing, development fabric, SQL Services, .NET Services, worker/web role etc.
