MasterClass: Windows Azure Platform Essentials

 Kursus
 
The Windows Azure platform is Microsoft's cloud computing initiative supplying an operating system in the cloud - hosted in Microsoft data centers - in addition to data storage and other infrastructure and application services. It provides businesses with on-demand hosting, storage and management features in fashion with utility computing. This course will provide you with the essentials of the Windows Azure platform. The class is a tour de force of how Windows Azure, SQL Azure and the Windows Azure platform AppFabric can help businesses scale operations in the cloud. You will see ways you can combine these services with on-premise applications and services. The class demonstrates how to write ASP.NET or Silverlight applications and WCF services for Windows Azure, and how to migrate existing applications for deployment to the cloud. In addition, the class demonstrates how to leverage Azure Storage Services and compares that approach to SQL Azure, weighing the pros and cons of each offering. And when it comes to connectivity and security, your application will rely on the Service Bus and Access Control Service (part of Windows Azure platform AppFabric) to protect your services and other web resources by supplying a DMZ in the cloud. The class offers not just the technical but also the business perspective and the practical reasons for businesses to leverage each of these Azure aspects while utilizing numerous demonstrations. Finally, and almost just as important as the technology itself, IDesign will share its unique insight on how cloud computing affects the application development lifecycle, what tools and utilities are available for developer productivity, and how to manage cloud accounts across development, test and production deployments, along with our original tools.
