There are some big ideas in software architecture that are particularly relevant for cloud platforms. In this talk we will cover a few of these big ideas - eventual consistency, scale out, and design for failure - to understand them and their implications for building applications for the cloud. Examples will be drawn from the Windows Azure Platform to see the impact of these ideas on cloud application architecture, and point you to patterns and cloud services that will help you implement your own cloud-native applications.
