Join Wade and Steve each week as they cover the Windows Azure Platform. You can follow and interact with the show @CloudCoverShow.

In this episode, Steve and Wade are joined by Nate Totten—a developer from Thuzi—as they look at a solution for dynamically deploying websites in a Windows Azure Web Role. This is a slick solution that you can use to zip up your website and drop it into storage, and a service running in your Web Role then picks it up and programmatically sets up the website in IIS—all in less than 30 seconds.

Reviewing the news, Wade and Steve:

Highlight the release of Windows Azure SDK 1.4, updates to the Windows Azure Management Portal, CDN, and the Windows Azure Connect CTP Refresh.
Cover the release of David Pallmann's book The Windows Azure Handbook, Volume 1: Strategy & Planning.
Mention that the production Windows Azure AppFabric Portal may show an error messages. Note: by show release, this has been resolved by updates to the portal.
