AZR 102 - You Can Do What in Windows Azure?!

You already know you can run your .NET based web sites, services, and applications on Windows Azure, but this only scratches the surface of what you can do. Encoding video with Expression Encoder, hosting adaptive streaming video in blob storage, hosting multiple web sites, enabling remote desktop, running php, node.js, and MongoDB, creating a VPN and more are all possible with the Windows Azure platform. In this demo intensive session I'll show you how to do amazing things to unleash the power of Azure.

AZR 105 - Securing Azure Hosted Services, the Easy Way

Authentication and authorization are key components of most line of business applications. However, identity management is not a trivial task, especially when it comes to extending identity management to the cloud. In this session we'll look at how you can use the Windows Azure Access Control Service (ACS) to simplify identity management for applications running on the Windows Azure platform. We'll start by covering the basics of identity management and ACS. From there we'll look at how to do create an ACS namespace, integrate identity providers and relying parties, create token transformation rules to provide consistent claims, establish a trust between ACS and your ASP.NET application, test the integration, and automate the management of your ACS namespaces.
