With Windows Azure SDK 1.3, you can run multiple Web Sites in a single Web role.  Prior to Windows Azure SDK 1.3, each Web role ran a single Web application.  This constraint was largely because Web roles were hosted in IIS Hosted Web Core where a single application was bound to a single HTTP/HTTPS endpoint.  Now, Windows Azure supports full IIS capabilities allowing Web roles to support multiple Web sites and Web...

With the downtime of Amazon EC2 this week, it seems a lot of websites “in the cloud” are down at the moment. Most comments I read on Twitter (and that I also made, jokingly :-)) are in the lines of “outrageous!” and “don’t go cloud!”. While I understand these comments, I think they are wrong. These “clouds” can fail. They are even designed to fail, and often provide components and services that allow you to cope with these failures. You just have to expect failure at some point in time and build it into ... (more)

Friday, April 22, 2011 1:10:00 PM GMT Wednesday, April 20, 2011 4:04:32 PM GMT
I created a simple extension method that allows you to easily host your static content off the Microsoft ASP.NET Ajax CDN and Windows Azure CDN. This simple extension method will improve the performance of your website as well as saving server capacity (i.e. money). As you may have heard Windows Azure now supports using your Web Roles as a CDN backing. This allows you to use the Windows Azure CDN without the need to m... (more)

Using SMB to Share a Windows Azure Drive among multiple Role Instances - Windows Azure Storage Team Blog

published 793 days, 19 hours, 23 minutes ago posted by KluggerKlugger 794 days, 20 hours, 32 minutes ago
Monday, April 18, 2011 2:01:52 PM GMT Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:52:20 PM GMT
We often get questions from customers about how to share a drive with read-write access among multiple role instances. A common scenario is that of a content repository for multiple web servers to access and store content. An Azure drive is similar to a traditional disk drive in that it may only be mounted read-write on one system. However using SMB, it is possible to mount a drive on one role instance and then share that out to other role instances which can map the network share to a drive letter or mo... (more)
