New Windows Azure Tools + SDK
The June 2010 release of the Windows Azure Tools + SDK will include:
- Full support for Visual Studio 2010 RTM
- .NET 4 support to provide developers with the flexibility to build services targeting either the .NET 3.5 or .NET 4 framework
- Cloud storage explorer to make it easier for developers to build compelling services by displaying a read-only view of Windows Azure tables and blob containers through the Visual Studio Server Explorer
- Integrated deployment, which will enable developers to deploy services directly from Visual Studio by selecting 'Publish' from the Solution Explorer
- Service monitoring to help developers track and manage the state of their services through the 'compute' node in Server Explorer
- IntelliTrace support for services running in the cloud to simplify the process of debugging services in the cloud through the Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate IntelliTrace feature. For more information see this post.
