Azure For Architects
by Scott Seely

Azure includes a number of application services: database, storage, authentication, application hosting, web hosting, and more. Your architecture can make use of Azure as appropriate, integrating on premises applications within cloud hosted services. In this talk, Scott will cover the architectural options available when defining solutions that incorporate one or more aspects of Azure.


Notes

Scott gave a very interesting examination into Microsoft's Azure offerings. While there is a lot of information available about Azure, Scott drilled into potential architectural concerns and 'gotchas'. The debate was interesting after the presentation and discussed security and integration concerns. Also some discussion of how companies might adopt Azure was discussed as well.
