elastacloud = azurecoder + bareweb

Thanks to all those that came to the third meeting of the user group. We had a fantastic talk by Vas Kapsalis with demoing by Antonio Zurlo in New York. Great evening. Room was packed with about 80 people or so and a good time was had by all, especially me as I got to the beer keg first!

We’re fairly expert in HPC and Azure these days and would love to hear from anyone who attended the user group with an interest. We’re currently testing a managed grid in Azure to allow adoption of HPC by Joe Schmo (anyone know him?) in the street rather than large organisations with even larger IT budgets! We’re all about elasticity for the masses. We’re not called Elastacloud for nothing!

Anyone if you missed the meeting here are Vas’s slides. For those that are interested in the Tip of the Month I did this on how to use WIF and certificates to encrypt cookies on more than one role instance. Down with DPAPI! You can find the slides here if you’re interested. Happy trails and all that!
