Building Cloud-Native Applications with Microsoft Windows AzureBill Wilder
Cloud computing is here to stay, and it is never too soon to begin understanding the impact it will have on application architecture. In this talk we will discuss the two most significant architectural mind-shifts, discussing the key patterns changes generally and seeing how these new cloud patterns map naturally into specific programming practices in Windows Azure. Specifically this relates to (a) Azure Roles and Queues and how to combine them using cloud-friendly design
patterns, and (b) the combination of relational data and non-relational data, how to decide among them, and how to combine them. The goal is for mere mortals to build highly reliable applications that scale economically. The concepts discussed in this talk are relevant for developers and architects building systems for the cloud today, or who want to be prepared to move to the cloud in the future.
This talk was delivered by Bill Wilder at the Vermont Code Camp 2 on 11-Sept-2010.

Join us for a deep dive into Windows Azure. We’ll start with a developer-focused overview of this brave new platform and the cloud computing services that can be used either together or independently to build amazing applications. As the day unfolds, we’ll explore data storage, SQL Azure™, and the basics of deployment with Windows Azure. Register today for these free, live sessions in your local area.
This talk will focus on the real world benefits, features, architecture and ease of use of SQL Azure. Learn how your projects can benefit from a hosted data storage and query processing service. See by example how to design your program to use SQL Azure.
SPSVB - To the Cloud! Using IaaS as a Hosting Provider for SharePointScott Hoag
To the cloud! This phrase seems to come up more and more often for organizations looking to reduce their SharePoint footprint and operational expenses in their on premise data centers. In this session Dan will give a brief overview of a few of the premier Infrastructure as a Service hosting providers for SharePoint, how SharePoint in the cloud stacks up against Office 365 and how to quickly get your SharePoint system built in a repeatable fashion for development environments.
Attendees will have a better understanding of core Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) providers. Attendees will understand the complexities of what is involved with implementing SharePoint in a cloud hosted environment. Attendees will see SharePoint what some of the nuances and workarounds are for hosting SharePoint in the cloud.
Microsoft released SQL Azure more than two years ago - that's enough time for testing (I hope!). So, are you ready to move your data to the Cloud? If you’re considering a business (i.e. a production environment) in the Cloud, you need to think about methods for backing up your data, a backup plan for your data and, eventually, restoring with Red Gate Cloud Services (and not only). In this session, you’ll see the differences, functionality, restrictions, and opportunities in SQL Azure and On-Premise SQL Server 2008/2008 R2/2012. We’ll consider topics such as how to be prepared for backup and restore, and which parts of a cloud environment are most important: keys, triggers, indexes, prices, security, service level agreements, etc.

Cloud Architecture Patterns for Mere Mortals - Bill Wilder - Vermont Code Cam...Bill Wilder
How do you design applications for the cloud so that they will be scalable and reliable? In this talk, we will explain several architectural patterns which are popular for cloud computing: we will look at the need for the patterns generally, then look concretely at how you might realize them using capabilities of the Windows Azure Platform. CQRS, NoSQL, Sharding, and a few smaller patterns will be considered.
