Explore the Benefits of Windows Azure Data Storage and Compute Services

The day will start off with a whirlwind tour of the various independent services that make up the Windows Azure Service Platform consumable from both cloud and on-premise services. Then we will discuss Azure's Data Storage services concentrating on blobs (for video, music, text, documents, etc.), tables (for non-relational data), and queues (for durable messaging between on-premise & cloud-based services). The day will continue with a focus on Azure's compute services which allow you to deploy your own applications into Microsoft's data centers. Finally, we'll discuss deployment, configuration, management, tools, roles & how your roles interact with the Azure fabric controller.

Sessions include:

• Introduction to the Windows Azure Service Platform
  Platform as a Service versus Platform as a service, stateful servers versus stateless servers, the independent Azure services
• Azure Blobs
  Containers, conditional operations, block & page blobs, continuation tokens, snapshots, leases, shared access signatures, simulating directory hierarchies, custom domain names, content delivery service, & retry policies
• Azure Tables
  Properties, partitioning, serializing entities, updating entities, optimistic concurrency
• Azure Queues
  Scenarios, robust message processing & idempotency, handling poison messages
• Azure Compute Services
  Deployment, configuration, tools, roles & interaction with the Azure fabric controller, architecting services for Azure
