This document summarizes different types of cloud offerings including SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS. It then provides more details on Windows Azure Websites, a PaaS offering that allows developers to build and host web applications in the cloud. Key features highlighted include automatic scaling, load balancing, global availability, and integration with development tools like Visual Studio. The document also briefly mentions other Azure services like WebJobs, Mobile Services, and SQL Database that can be used to build full web application solutions on the Windows Azure platform.

WINDOWS AZURE WEBSITES
Windows Azure Websites is a scalable, secure and flexible platform for building powerful
web applications to run your business, drive your brand or reach new customers.

39. • SSL—IP and SNI (reserved only).
• 64 bit (reserved only).
• Auto-scale (reserved only).
• Git clone for existing sites.
• Log streaming.

• Support for Web Farms.

40. Why use Windows Azure web sites

42. High availability with SLA on reserve instances.
A global network of data centers.
Guaranteed SLA and 24/7 support.

43. IP-based.
Sites can have one certificate configured per IP address and port number.
SNI.
Server Name Indication (SNI) is an extension to the TLS protocol that indicates what hostname the client is attempting to connect to at the start of the handshaking process.
This allows a server to present multiple certificates on the same IP address and port number. Allowing multiple secure (HTTPS) websites (or any other Service over TLS) to
be served off the same IP address without requiring all those sites to use the same certificate.
