Moving Applications to the Cloud, 2nd Edition. How do you build and deploy applications to be scalable and have high availability? Along with developing the applications, you must also have an infrastructure that can support them. You may need to add servers or increase the capacities of existing ones, have redundant hardware, add logic to the application to handle distributed computing, and add logic for failovers. You have to do this even if an application is in high demand for only short periods of time. The cloud offers a solution to this dilemma. The cloud is made up of interconnected servers located in various data centers. This guide is the third edition of the first volume in a series about Windows Azure. The guide is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates applications and services that are appropriate for the cloud.

Introduction Azure is Microsoft's operating system for cloud computing, which enables hosting and running applications on cloud.

Cloud is nothing but Microsoft's datacenter. Applications are hosted in cloud in the form of roles. There are two major kinds of role: Web role and Worker role. Web role: A part of any application which we host on IIS, should be created as web role while hosting it on cloud. Worker roles: Worker roles, as the name suggests, accomplishes tasks assigned by web roles. Note: More information on web role and worker role can be found at the following links: Objective The objective of our little exercise is to show how a non .NET EXE can be executed from a Windows Azure web role.
