You can find a great article on ScottGu blog here - &lt;a title="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2012/06/07/meet-the-new-windows-azure.aspx" href="http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2012/06/07/meet-the-new-windows-azure.aspx" target="_blank"&gt;Meet the New Windows Azure&lt;/a&gt;. There is none I think of, who can put such a great blog post other than Scott.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: small;"&gt;Ah, why am I so excited about this release - because I am part of the Distributed Cache team which is "one of the really cool features" [As quoted by Scott :)]. Distributed cache is truely elastic and has many features of the on-prem AppFabric Cache Server like [Hight Availability, Local Cache etc]. It also supports &lt;a title="http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/MemcacheBinaryProtocol" href="http://code.google.com/p/memcached/wiki/MemcacheBinaryProtocol" target="_blank"&gt;memcached protocol&lt;/a&gt;. If you are new to AppFabric caching &lt;a title="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh351318" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh351318" target="_blank"&gt;check this&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman,times; font-size: small;"&gt;Apart from Cache, there are many many exciting improvements that you can find in this release. The Windows Azure portal experience is amazing, very sleek design [fell in love with it, the first time I experienced it]. Do watch the keynote at &lt;a title="http://www.meetwindowsazure.com/Conversations" href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh351318" target="_blank"&gt;MeetWindowsAzure&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
