Cloudy with a chance of Development
-
I'm considering deveoting some time to getting my head stuck into Azure. I've a few questions: 1. Is there anybody learning Azure at the moment? 2. Is there anybody doing fulltime Azure development? [Dont vote just answer]

Good morning Just to divert the conversation in a more positive direction we are using Azure for a couple of large clients websites which have the potential of growing quite large. I know another local company which also using Azure wholly for their client for mission critical solutions as well (if they did not work people would die). One of the reasons we used Azure for one of our sites is the capacity / room to grow. We have our own server farm however this site is a video sharing / social site and potentially could have thousands of videos (if not more) being uploaded by servers. Storage/bandwidth etc is not a worry with Azure and cheaper than us hosting / streaming also. Azure is a great platform, but does not suit all companies/applications. Concerns with data security which have been raised are normally more the normal scaremongering which always get raised in the cloud. Additional security can always be put in yourself if you are really that concerned so even MS would not have access to the actual data. Shane

That's the problem with it for me: it is and it isn't rehashed-stuff-for-the-past. It is in essence a return to the bad old Mainframe Computer model, but this time with added insecurity. Do they really back up properly? How many people have access to our data? Can our data be intercepted?
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together. Manfred R. Bihy: "Looks as if OP is learning resistant."
