Git Rid of Windows Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) SDKs with .NET + Git + AppHarbor Deployment Revolution

By Adron Hall on March 14, 2011

I’ve been wanting to do a quick write up on the state of cloud apps from my perspective.  What’s my perspective?  Well I’m keeping up with  the SDKs from the big players; AWS and Windows Azure.  I’m also working on several cloud applications and providing consulting for some people and companies when approached related to […]

Windows Azure SDK Unit Testing Dilemma — F5DD Plz K Thx Bye

By Adron Hall on January 19, 2011

I’m a huge advocate for high quality code. I will admit I don’t always get to write, or am always able to write high quality code. But day in and out I make my best effort at figuring out the best way to write solid, high quality, easy to maintain, easy to read code. Over […]

Windows Azure and the PaaS Context

Windows Azure and the PaaS Context

By Adron Hall on January 11, 2011

PaaS stands for Platform as a Service.  The new concept around Devops* (Developer + Operations) has allowed cloud computing to reach an apex of agility for business.  For developers PaaS provides an ultimately clean and agile experience around staging and deployment.  PaaS is also the highest level of cost savings for most prospective enterprise and […]

Windows Azure and the IaaS Context (or lack thereof)

Windows Azure and the IaaS Context (or lack thereof)

By Adron Hall on January 10, 2011

Windows Azure has several primary competitors in the IaaS Realm, even though they aren’t technically an IaaS Cloud Provider at all.  Some of these competitors in this space are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Rackspace, GoGrid and VMWare.  Each of these providers offer virtual machines with either Windows or Linux Operating Systems, multiple data centers for […]

Cloud Throw Down: Part 4 – Perspectives on PaaS

Cloud Throw Down: Part 4 – Perspectives on PaaS

By Adron Hall on January 7, 2011

Alright, time for the battle o’ clouds to roll on. In this throw down I’m going to compare platforms from the infrastructure and platform perspective. Windows Azure takes a very distinctive, and unique, Platform as a Service (PaaS) model and Amazon Web Services takes a very Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) model. Each of these […]

Amazon Web Services Windows Azure Previous Throw Down… Ok, in this edition the fight gets graphic!  Let’s jump right into the bout.  (I’ve also been thinking about adding Rackspace or another cloud provider in the future.)

Amazon Web Services Windows Azure The clouds available from Amazon Web Services, Windows Azure, Rackspace and others have a few things in common.  They’re all providing storage, APIs, and other bits around the premise of the cloud.  They all also run on virtualized operating systems.  This blog entry I’m going to focus on some key […]

By Adron Hall on December 27, 2010

Time for a lunch time blog entry… Information Management recently put together some cloud predictions for the cloud industry.  Here’s my 2 cents for the key points I picked out. You will build a private cloud, and it will fail.  Thank goodness.  Get rid of the whole premise, it’s kind of stupid.  The basis of […]

Microsoft and Cloud – they just don’t get it, do they?

By Martijn Linssen on December 21, 2010

On Twitter, Jon Reed pointed me to a Microsoft commercial for Cloud. I checked it out, but low and behold: the above picture is what I got. I’d like to draw attention to the fine print there: To view this video, download the free Microsoft Silverlight plug-in (install Microsoft Silverlight) I myself think it is […]

Rackspace Cloud Makes It Easy For .Net Developers

Rackspace Cloud Makes It Easy For .Net Developers

By Krishnan Subramanian on September 8, 2010

After releasing Windows Cloud Servers last month, Rackspace is now focussing on getting .NET developers use their cloud. When they released their Windows cloud servers, I was skeptical of developers moving to their servers instead of using Azure platform. In my opinion, their Windows based offerings may fill the gap in catering to their existing […]
