TechEd NA: Enabling On-Premises IaaS Solutions with the Windows Azure Pack

I am live blogging so hit refresh to see more.

Speakers: Mark Umeno and Eric Winner

I missed the first 10 minutes of the session.  This place is huge and it can take over 30 minutes to walk from one end to another.  Doesn’t look like I missed anything: user experience demo once again.

Virtual Machine Role Deep Dive

The top line is conceptual.  Virtual machine role is the deployed instance.  The gallery is a catalogue of templates.  There are artefacts under each gallery item.  Main 3:

  • Role view – refers to UI
  • Role resource definition – refers to config
  • Role resource extension – refers to apps

A cloud service (hidden) is a VM role container.  In the container, is one or more VMs.

The viewdef is about the presentation layer.

Then stuff was shown and said.  Confused smile  Lots of “JSOC” (or something) code.  It wasn’t pretty.
