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

In this episode, Steve and Wade are joined by Brent Stineman, a Windows Azure MVP, who shows us how to use page blobs in Windows Azure to do random access reads and writes. He even shows a demo of downloading a blob while it's being created.

In the news:

Brent's blog posts about page blobs:

A Page at a Time (Page Blobs - Year of Azure Week 7)
Page, After Page, After Page (Year of Azure Week 8) (includes the full source code for Brent's demo)

*Correction: Smarx had it wrong (and convinced Wade and Brent)! Page blobs have a maximum size of one terabyte, not two terabytes as stated in the show.
