Microsoft launched Windows Azure Cloud Operating System today. With this, MS steps up the competition with Amazon Web Services offerings.
What is Azure?
Azure is a cloud operating system meaning that MS hosts the data and takes care of the infrastructure, providing easy scaling of applications. The great news is that developers will only pay for the resources they need. In addition, Windows Azure includes tracing, logging, and monitoring functionality, giving insight into resource usage and performance.
This forum is here to discuss, learn about Azure, and will hopefully become a resource for the developer community.
