Microsoft has recently announced the BETA release of Amazon Web Service (AWS) SDK for Windows Phone 7 Development. Microsoft has provided this SDK as an open source, which provides developers to quick integrate the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Application development with the Amazon Web Service. This SDK provides support with the 3 main component of the AWS (Simple DB, S3 and SQS Service) at present which will get enhanced in the future releases as well.

Terry Wise, Director of Business Development for Amazon Web Services says about the Microsoft Release on AWS SDK for Windows Phone 7

“Our approach with AWS is to provide developers with choice and flexibility to build applications the way they want and give them unlimited storage, bandwidth and computing resources, while paying only for what they use. We welcome Windows Phone developers to the AWS community and look forward to providing customers with new ways to build and deploy Windows Phone applications”.

Jean Paoli, General Manager of Interoperability Strategy at Microsoft says about the Microsoft Release on AWS SDK for Windows Phone 7

“The release of the Windows Phone Toolkit for AWS Beta proves that Microsoft’s goal of building a Cloud-friendly phone is true across vendor boundaries. It literally takes minutes to create a Cloud-ready application in C# with this toolkit. We look forward to this toolkit eventually resulting in many more great apps in the rapidly growing Windows Phone marketplace.”

Posted by Karthikeyan Anbarasan on September 28, 2011

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.
