One of the most common questions customers ask is how does windows azure perform. Well Microsoft published a series of benchmarks in an excellent web site called azurescope . The thing is azurescope is going down on January 15th 2012 so I decided to publish these benchmarks here and make sure they will be available to the public. Let us discuss Sql Azure write throughput. This test measures the ability of SQL Azure to handle write requests from simultaneous clients. Key Analysis Throughput increases...

How do you know if your SQL database is compatible with SQL Azure and can be migrated to the cloud? Well there is a long list of well known issues like SQL Agent and SQL CLR that are not supported, but what about those little details that no body wrote about and eventually will stop you from migrating to the cloud? It would be great if someone would tell you if migration is possible before you spend the time on a POC. A new service was launched by the SQL Azure team for this exact reason. It is called...

Reduced price for data transfers : $0.12 per GB for outbound data transfers for Zone 1 (Europe and North America) $0.19 per GB for outbound data transfers for Zone 2 (all other locations) Service Bus is free for a promotional...

I was working with a customer that wanted to use AppFabric Topics to push notifications to clients. as We all know anyone who wants to listen or send messages using service bus has to authenticate first. Traditionally authentication to the service bus was done by presenting a secret key before a connection was established.It is reasonable to put the secret key in a software package deployed on a server (Some can argue with that and say it is a security violation) but providing the key to numerous...
Recently the AppFabric team released real pub-sub capabilities with the new queues and topics features. Queues are simple. AppFabric provides a queue for durable messaging between senders and receivers. Topics are interesting because they allows to create different subscriptions so different clients can receive only the messages they need. To demonstrate how to use topics I created two helper classes: Senders and Receiver that will send and receive messages using AppFabric Topics. Sender /// <summary>...
In Claim based applications we use token to provide the application (Relying party) with details (a collection of claims) about the the authenticated identity. In ASP.net web sites and WCF SOAP services SAML tokens are used as a container for the claims. SAML is a standard that describe how token and claims are constructed and how they are cryptographically protected using digital signature and encryption. SAML tokens are powerful yet they are large. The size of the token is not a real issue in ASP...
