Whilst looking for a simple asp.net application I could “migrate” to Windows Azure, I stumbled upon the Small Business Starter Kit at the ASP.NET web site - http://www.asp.net/downloads/starter-kits/small-business/. One of the features of the Small Business Starter Kit is the Provider Model. You can either use an SQL or XML data source. Bingo I thought. An XML data source! All I’d need to do with this is load the XML data from Windows Azure Blob storage instead of the file system and it would b ...

A few weeks back I had the pleasure of chatting with Carl and Richard again on the .Net Rocks Internet Audio Talk show (show 403!). This time the topic was the Azure Services platform. Its always great chatting with Carl and Richard, they do make it very easy and ask some great (if awkward) questions! Do download the show to your favorite music player device, and if you've never listened to .NET Rocks - take a look at the excellent show list and subscribe to the RSS.

Jim Nakashima wrote a great blog post on how to get at your Windows Azure logs via the PowerShell powered Cloud Drive. (see http://blogs.msdn.com/jnak/archive/2008/11/12/using-the-clouddrive-sample-to-access-windows-azure-logs.aspx). I've been working on a project lately, and its required some examination of logs. Copying the logs from blob storage is great, but you still have to parse the logs, and if you are working with multiple instances, this can be time consuming. I decided that I should h ...

Sometimes you have messages in a queue, and you want to have a peek at them (or even read and remove them). The most obvious answer to this is to build a little utility that allows you to browse queues, peek messages etc. But did you already know the CloudDrive Windows PowerShell provider already lets you do it! Here is how you can get at the queues. Extract samples.zip to a folder, and using the buildall cmd - build all the samples. Navigate into the samples\CloudDrive folder, and exec ...

Since we give out a pre-beta of Windows 7 at PDC and made the Windows Azure SDK available, its only a matter of time before someone would try them together. To save you lots of pain/time you should know this: current builds of Windows 7 do not support Windows Azure – hopefully this will be fixed soon, because Windows 7 is sweet!
