Microsoft Introduces Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles

Microsoft has announced the first release of Windows Azure accelerator for web roles . With this free tool, you can create a server farm to support websites running on Windows Azure running IIS.



Accelerator makes it easy to host a huge number of small websites in Windows Azure, as well as easily update and manage them. It also simplifies the management and large-scale projects hosted in Windows Azure.

Accelerator includes a project template for Visual Studio, which creates a web role to host one or more sites. By deploying this template only once, you can almost immediately start hosting sites in Windows Azure using Web Deploy. Placing a site in Windows Azure takes about 30 seconds. Thus, Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles allows you to combine a large number of websites deployed on Windows Azure into flexible hosting with a convenient management interface, thereby reducing the cost of supporting them and allowing you to easily manage traffic spikes even in large-scale projects. .



Windows Azure Accelerator also includes:

• Documentation: it is included in the project template, as well as laid out on CodePlex, which simplifies the study and work with the accelerator.
• Two modules that allow you to embed code in new or existing web roles. In addition, these modules can be used as the basis for developing a new solution.
• Dependency Checker (Dependency Checker): the installer includes a new and improved verification program that allows you to make sure that the accelerator has all the necessary components for successful operation, for example ASP.Net MVC 3 or Windows Azure tools for Visual Studio 2010. Dependency Checker integrated into the Microsoft Web Platform Installer, which simplifies the deployment of sites.
