Unfortunately I’m not at this years PDC. Would really have liked to go there..
Right now I’m looking for the keynote video, but it’s not available yet. Found some interesting information about what was covered on the keynote at Microsoft PressPass: Microsoft Cloud Services Vision Becomes Reality With Launch of Windows Azure Platform.
Especially three new things peeked my interest.
- AppFabric
“..Microsoft is delivering Windows Server AppFabric Beta 1, a set of integrated, high-level application services that enable developers to more easily deploy and manage applications spanning both server and cloud.”
Could this be a way to make “private Azure” available eventually? Or at least use the same programming paradigm for both Azure and local datacenters? - Windows Server virtual machine support on Windows Azure. Is this something like Amazons EC2?
- RTM of Windows Identity Foundation – aka “Geneva”. I think this piece will be very important in the future.
It will be interesting to watch the Keynotes, probably available tomorrow.
