Is there a way do do dynamic elasticity in Windows Azure? If my workers begin to get overloaded, or queues start to get too full, or too many workers have no work to do, is there a way to dynamically add or remove workers through code or is that just done manually (requires human intervention) right now? Does anyone know of any plans to add that if…
Ever since I came up with the crazy idea of creating an Azure application that would spin up 256 worker roles (please vote if you like it ) to render a 3D animation created using the Kinect depth camera I have been trying to think of something useful to do with it. I have also been busy working on developing training materials for a Windows Azure…
first of all, I couldn't find a StackExchange site on Cloud Computing. I think this is the most appropriate site, because some of you might be using Azure.
So I just wanted to know:
The Windows Azure Pricing Page shows Linux Virtual Machine Price as $0.013/hr for an extra small VM.
The monthly price comes up to about $10.
Is this price charged…
I know this question has been asked on various forums before, and that all the answer were negative, but many of the answers are quite old, and with Azure developing so quickly it seems useful to ask it again.
Can we run a mail server (such as mailenable) on an Azure VM? And if not, why not?
I've seen one posting on the MS forums (here) that…
Just as I wrote up a blog promoting the Oracle VM Ebusiness suite templates, we also pushed out 2 other products :
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c
Oracle PeopleSoft FSCM 9.1 and PeopleTools 8.52.03
They can be downloaded from edelivery.
Same advantage... you download the template, import it and you have a completely…

I'm developing a Flash app that saves files to the Azure Blob Storage API.
I've learned that you should use the REST API directly rather than a go-between WCF service as this is the most efficient (using a web role is a bottleneck).
The problem is that Flash can't do PUT or DELETE methods over Http and has to…
The following code throws an error on the "CreateIfNotExist" method call. I am attempting to connect to my Azure Blob storage and create a new container called "images"

Hi,
I have a created a sample web role application using cloud service. Before hosting my application in cloud, i want to test the application in dev fabric. I am sure that when we run the application from VS, it creates an environment that simulates the cloud.
But if i want to give my application…
Ok, I see that people have asked this question before, but I'm seeing some conflicting statements.
Can I, or can I not, connect directly to my SQL Azure database from SSMSE 2008? I see posts from before November that the SSMS 2008 RC would be able to connect directly - so I don't understand why the…
Hi, I've got a very simple question (I hope!) - I just want to find out if a blob (with a name I've defined) exists in a particular container. I'll be downloading it if it does exist, and if it doesn't then I'll do something else.
I've done some searching on the intertubes and apparently there used…
I followed a tutorial on creating a blob on windows azure. But when I do that, I get an exception error:
Error while creating containerThe server encountered an unknown failure: The remote server returned an error: (300) Ambiguous Redirect.
The code is :

Ok, so I can't seem to find decent Windows Azure examples. I have a simple hello world application that's based on this tutorial. I want to have custom output instead of JSON or XML. So I created my interface like:

Today I vmotioned 5 MS SQL 2005 servers over to a new DRS Cluster. All SQL servers use the "Production_LAN" network and a single virtual NIC of type "VMXNET 3".
The first 4 SQL VM (Windows 2003 Standard or Enterprise x32 bit) vmotioned over without a hitch.
The last SQL VM I vmotioned…
I want to achieve following:
(Note I'd like to get this done first of all with Win7 as both host and vm OS)
Install Windows 7/xp/Windows 8 VM on Windows 7/Windows 8 host machine
Configure it so that I can connect to it via remote desktop.
This is because I use a screen reader…
After search and search again, my VM still can't recovery. Does somebody know how to retrieve the files from the VM?
My VM is XP, it can't boot up anymore after my forced quit. In the Mac OS 10.6.2, I try to "get info" the VM file, I can see it is still using 25G space. I try to…
I'm trying to do some testing of Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 Server in a VMWare environment. The host is XP, and the VM software is VMPlayer.
Problem is, I want to be able to see the VM from the network, not just from the host. I can SSH into the VM from the host, but from any other…
