Windows Azure: Architecting & Managing Cloud Services | pdc2008

From design to deployment, building a scalable, highly available service is different from building other kinds of applications. This session discusses the impact that designing for the cloud has on all stages of the service lifecycle, and how the Microsoft cloud platform works for you to meet the scaling and availability goals of your service. This session will show how automation is used to free the developer from dealing with many hardware and networking issues. Also learn how the cloud services platform is architected to enable a pay-for-use dynamic model.

Chris and Eric were very busy solving some really hard problems to pull these new features off. It's great to learn about these new features from the people who actually implemented them. Classic Channel 9!
