My Windows Azure Blog Post Todo List:

So based on the questions I have been receiving at the various Azure Services Platform events around the world I am starting to put together a list of blog posts to do as I get time. Please feel free to suggest other posts.

  • What Fits Where
    I probably need to do a post that talks a bit about which bits of the Azure Services Platform fit into what sort of businesses and business models. Windows Azure won’t cure world hunger, but, it will be a great platform to use if you’re going to build the next Facebook. There’s not been a lot out of Microsoft with these sort of details yet, so, hopefully this post will go someway to answering these questions.
  • Forward Caching in Windows Azure
    This post will talk about how to use the Local Storage in Windows Azure to cache data. Why you would do it. What data you should store in there. What data you should not store in there.
  • What Being Stateless Means
    What does building a stateless Web Role or Worker Role mean? What are some common traps where people might slip into ‘statefulness’?
  • Multithreading and Parallelization in Windows Azure Worker Roles
    When should you spawn multiple threads vs When you should create new instances. Will discuss things like performance bounds. CPU Bound vs IO Bound vs Network Bound.
  • How To Implement A Plug-in Model In Windows Azure
    Because the Windows Azure deployment model is on a Package basis it’s not possible to add new DLLs once an application has initially being deployed into a Compute project. The solution is, of course, to load the DLLs remotely into Cloud Blob storage and then dynamically load the types using a plugin pattern.
