Friends,

It was really nice sessions for the last 3 days (Sep 28th to Sep 30th), a good technology feed for all the developers and architects who attended the sessions. First let me start with the first and the second day it was really a good day for the Azure Guys who are eager to learn new stuffs from the microsoft team. We had many session with demos on the azure usage and the cloud computing stuffs. Later we had some good sessions on the implementation of Private Cloud as well which helped the developers and architects to think on the stuffs that can be implemented to their organization.

I should really highlight the day 2 session on Security, it was really good and great put together by the Microsoft Security team guys. Also the 3rd day session on the Career Road map and stuffs that give more focus to the developers career where really excellent thoughts bu the Microsoft to include in Virtual Techdays. Over all it was a very good and successful event by microsoft and below are some of the key stuffs which are to be noted down.

Highlight 1 - Next Virtual TechDays Session will start by Dec 14th to Dec 16th

Friends,

The Windows Azure Platform PowerShell Cmdlets 2.0 enable you to browse, configure, and manage Windows Azure Compute and Storage services directly from PowerShell.  These tools can be helpful when developing and testing applications that use Windows Azure Services.  For instance, using these tools you can easily script the deployment and upgrade of Windows Azure applications, change the configuration for a role, and set and manage your diagnostic configuration and diagnostic data.

The Windows Azure Platform Powershell Cmdlets 2.0 changes includes the following

  • Improved Support for Hosted Services Management, Affinity Groups, Storage Accounts, Storage and Instance Management.
  • Enhanced Diagnostics Support: Manage all aspects of Windows Azure Diagnostics from PowerShell.
  • SQL Azure Support: Add/Remove/Update SQL Azure Servers
  • Storage Analytics Support: Enable or Disable Storage Analytics for your Storage Account.
  • The Access Control Service PowerShell Cmdlets have been merged with the existing Windows Azure PowerShell Cmdlets so you can deploy both in a single installation.
  • Some of the cmdlets have been renamed and others have been enhanced in order to follow the PowerShell cmdlets design guidelines more closely.
  • The namespaces in the cmdlets solution have undergone substantial change.
