MSDN Flash Podcast 011 – Steve Marx on Windows Azure

Also known as “that’s where I left my shoe” (you will need to listen to understand that)

This is a bonus edition of the podcast recorded on the 6th of October in London with Steve Marx, Technical Strategist working on Windows Azure.

It starts slow and a little quiet, it needed a few edits (deletes!) as we battled with “what is still not public” but picks up to be a pretty useful look at the improvements we have made to Windows Azure over the last few months with a specific focus on storage.

Topics covered include:

• Entity Group Transactions
• StorageClient library
• Queues
• Blobs and Shared Access Signatures/Blob Container Access Policies
• Communication between nodes without queues
• Logging
