Windows Azure Service Managment API now in CTP
The Windows Azure team released a Community Technology Preview of the Windows Azure Service Management API the other day. This API is REST-based, and currently supports the following operations (according to the Windows Azure team blog):
Deployments – Viewing, creating, deleting, swapping, modifying configuration settings, changing instance counts, and updating the deployment. Listing and viewing properties for hosted services, storage accounts and affinity groups Also, x509 certificates are used for authentication, and there’s a small tool called csmanage.exe to help you manage deployments and use the API.
This is, of course, CTP – so be prepared for some changes along the way to RTW.
