Windows Azure Guidance - Part 1
Speaker: Shy Cohen | Technology: Azure
Cloud Computing is “the next big thing” in the evolution of the computer industry.
It levels the playing field by offering every developer and company in the world
virtually unlimited, aggressively priced, and readily available computational, storage,
and communication resources. But what’s the best way to use all the new goodness?
In this fast-paced session we will explore some of the best practices for migrating
existing applications to the Cloud, creating new Cloud applications, and creating
hybrid application that combine on-premises and Cloud assets. In addition to discussing
various technological aspects of Cloud Computing, we will also briefly survey the
budgetary and organizational aspects of Cloud Computing, as compared to on-premises
software.

Windows Azure VM Role
Speaker: Amir Shevat & Noam King | Technology: Azure
Come and learn about the single most exciting new feature in Windows Azure - Up
until now Windows Azure provided two distinct types of roles that work on Azure
– A Web Role for web application and a Worker Role for asynchronous and batch processes.
With the introduction of the VM Role, you can now easily run your own customized
VM in the cloud while keep the benefits of the Azure service model, where Microsoft
hosts and maintains your service. We will show the process of choosing a base operating
system instance, installing your software/other tools, snapshot the VM to a VHD
and supply it back to Azure to run on the fabric.
