TIP: Backup and restore your Azure Tables: Use the Azure Storage Explorer tool and select the Upload/Download facility. You can download the tables in various formats on your computer and later upload them back if required. 

 

Windows Azure HDInsight is now generally available. This is the Microsoft Hadoop distribution made for Azure. You can spin up nodes only when required for running compute-intense jobs.

Pilot episode where Cale Teeter & Sujit D'Mello discuss the basics of the Cloud. In 10 minutes (OK, it took us about 22 minutes!), they try to answer the questions:

  • What is the cloud?
  • The differences between Public and Private cloud.
  • The competitive landscape.
  • The basics about Windows Azure.
  • How do you get an account on Azure?
  • What works well in the cloud (and more importantly what does not).
