Review:
Azure is a cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data centres, which provides an operating system and a set of developer services that can be used individually or together.
In the Community Technology Preview (CTP) version of Windows Azure, developers can create .NET-based software such as ASP.NET applications and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services. To do this, they can use C# and other .NET languages, along with traditional development tools such as Visual Studio 2008.
Key components of the platform include: Service hosting and management, low-level scalable storage, computation and networking; SQL Services for a wide range of database services and reporting; .NET Services which are service-based implementations of familiar .NET Framework concepts such as workflow and access control; Live Services for a consistent way for users to store, share and synchronize documents, photos, files and information across their PCs, phones, PC applications and Web sites; SharePoint Services and Microsoft Dynamics CRM Services for business content, collaboration and rapid solution development in the cloud.
