Common Windows Azure Pitfalls, and How to Avoid Them

This technical webinar will explore real-world cases of Azure development and deployment using an Agile approach. We will present several common Azure implementation scenarios and discuss how to implement quick, effective resolutions. This webinar is intended to save developers days or weeks of development time. We will explore some of the following scenarios of Azure development:

• Designing for Scalability, including caching best practices, sessions and when to use them, Blobs for session storage, and session clean-up approaches.
• Web Roles, including Dynamic File System interaction, Logging Event handling strategies, and why full package deployments.
• Migrating Legacy Applications to Azure, including asynchronous design, queues, multiple data stores, integrations and OData, and security.
• Certificates, Certificates, Certificates, how to manage them across multiple physical and virtual machines.
• VM Roles, including how surprisingly useful they are, scale out considerations and persistence.
