Azure Tooling Update - November 2009
There were a couple of Microsoft releases last week that provided updates to Windows Azure tooling that I wanted to make you aware of in case you hadn't see the news.
First Microsoft released the November CTP of SQL Server 2008 R2. This is an important release on the SQL Azure front because SSMS now supports SQL Azure. There are a number of limitations (i.e. no designer support), but it's a step in the right direction of making easier to work with SQL Azure.
You can download the CTP here.
Brent Ozar has a great overview of SQL Azure and SSMS support here.
Second the Cloud Computing Tools Team released Windows Azure Tools and SDK v1.0 last Friday. Highlights include:
You can download code samples here.
You can read more about the tools on the team's blog here or on MSDN here.
