I will ass-u-me… 1. You know what “the cloud” is 2. You have an inkling about Amazon Web Services and Windows Azure cloud platforms 3. You understand that such cloud platforms include compute services [like hosted virtual machines (VMs), in both Iaa. S and Paa. S modes], SQL and No. SQL database services, file storage services, messaging, DNS, management, etc. 4. You are interested in understanding cloudnative applications and why that’s better than deploying my old-school app to the cloud “as is”

Roadmap for rest of talk… … 1. Overview of Windows Azure Platform Ø Multiple programming models 2. Selectively dig into newer areas 3. Decide on other topics on the fly ? • Q&A during talk is okay (time permitting) • Q&A at end with any remaining time • Okay to reach out through email or twitter
