EdgeShow 53 - Windows Azure Virtual Machines Demos

David Tesar — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 09:00:00 GMT

At [07:36] David Tesar meets with Drew McDaniel, Senior PM in Windows Azure. Drew quickly covers the scenarios in which we see customers using Windows Azure IaaS and then we dig in with demos of Windows Azure VMs, including creating gallery images with Windows Server and Linux.

One important note to point out: when you run a Windows Server VM in Windows Azure, you don't need to pay for an additional license for Windows Server—it's included with your purchased Windows Azure compute hours.

We more specifically cover:
