INDICE: Part 1 begins by 1) defining the term "cloud computing" and contrasting it with application hosting, 2) comparing Azure to earlier (competitive)horizontal implementations (e.g., Amazon S3, EC2, and SimpleDB), the Google App Engine, and others), hosted .NET-centric business applications (Dynamics CRM, Exchanges, and SharePoint), and 3) examining issues that .NET developers and IT departments face in moving from on-premise to cloud-based applications/projects, such as security (intrusion and impersonation prevention, authentication, and authorization, in-transit and stored data encryption, etc.), privacy, regulatory compliance (Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC, etc.), backup and recovery, asset cataloging and management, and other common technical concerns. Part I then moves on to describe all major Azure Platform components (except the consumer-oriented Live Operating Environment), comparing them with competitor's relatedofferings for capability and programming ease. Part 2 covers basic programming for individual Azure components: Storage (tables, blobs and queues), SQL Data Services (relational vs. tuple-based structured storage), and .NET Services (Access Control, Workflow, and Service Bus). Part 3 covers the more advanced programming challenges of creating useful projects that combine cloud storage with Web applications or services. (Part 3 anticipates that the Azure team will have a substantially larger repertoire of sample projects available by the estimated chapter submittal schedule.)
