Выдержка из Q&A онлайн чата 08.06.12 (сгруппировано по IaaS, Open Source, PaaS, Разработка и Другое)
IaaS
Q: Durable VM means that it never could lost its state?
A: We persist the content stored to the OS and Data disks.
Q: Now that full versions of SQL can be installed does this mean we could host our large DB instances on Azure?
A: Yes
Q: Will it be possible to deploy an Active Directory Domain and network multiple VMs together?
A: yes!!!
Q: Is it possible to run Lync Server 2010 in VM role?
A: Sorry this scenario is currently not supported
Q: Is this IaaS or still PaaS, cause my VMs are automatically patched and moved to new nodes, when there is a hardware failure?
A: We have both offerings… Virtual machines is an IaaS solution
Q: Are SharePoint Farms supported?
A: Sorry that scenario is not supported during preview
Q: Can you add other Microsoft products like SQL Server 2012 to your VM with a click of a button, or do you have to upload the install file?
A: The SQL Server 2012 Evaluation Edition image is already in the gallery so you do not need to upload it
Q: Is there going to be Red Hat Enterprise Linux support?
A: Sorry at this time we have no announcements to make about this
Q: How are Virtual Machines Patched? Say I have a SQL Server on a VM, who patches the VM / SQL and when?
A: VMs are not patched by Microsoft directly but you can take advantage of the traditional Microsoft services in the Vm yourself
Q: Is automatic patch management performed on the VMs?
A: no — you own the VM therefore OS on the VM and you need to manage pathes unlike Web and Worker Roles which are patched for you.
Q: REASKING: Is static IP adress supported now, or even on the road map?
A: Thanks for your feedback. This is in our roadmap in the future
Q: why not Redhat VM, can we expect this in near future
A: Sorry we have no announcements about this at this moment
Open Source
Q: Are there plans to allow the provisioning of services such as RavenDB/MySQL without the complexity of doing this from scratch on a vm?
A: Absolutely. we have partnered with cleardb to provide a comprehensive MySQL service for building scalable web solution.
Q: Will Azure support Drupal out-of-the-box
A: Well the great news is that Drupal is supported as it is a powerful PHP CMS — we just don't have a one-click experience.
Q: Can i run databases on SQL server VM larger than 150GB? Are SQL clusters supported?
A: The Data disk in any Vm can be larger than 150GB. Sorry, we do not support clustering at this point
Q: Is data stored within mysql also replicated to three locations?
A: If you use a data disk as we recommend to store the data… yes it is…
Q: Does Azure supports Java Frameworks like Apache Tapestry with Hibernate Daos?
A: Yes! If it runs on Windows or Linux, it runs on Azure.
Q: Will you be able to as easily have web and worker roles for non .NET deployments and outside of VS?
A: Absolutely. You can start php web apps using web role or java apps using worker role using program entrypoint primitives.
Q: Is there an anti-virus software available to secure the farm?
A: You can bring your own Antivirus solution to run on top of your VMs
Примечание можно для веб\воркер-ролей использовать так же Microsoft Endpoint Protection for Windows Azure
Q: Any future support for Java Web sites (e.g. JSP)?
A: Not planned yet but we are looking into it!
PaaS
Q: Is new Windows Azure Management portal based on HTML5? So it will be avaliable on any platfrom\OS (like Ubuntu)?
A: Yes it is — manage.windowsazure.com
Q: With the 10 free websites you can create, you still have to pay for outbound data charges I assume?
A: Hi Dylan, No, the 10 free sites include a quota of outbound bandwidth. Go ahead and play…
Q: Is it possible to use a sticky-IP load balancing scheme as opposed to the standard round-robing scheme that was the only option previously?
A: as of now, no. However load balancer will keep connection alive for 60 seconds.
Q: Can I as a Sys Admin resize web roles machines, provide SSL certs and header files without the need of my developers repackaging?
A: Hi, You will be able to use our REST APIs through the Azure SDK to do that. Check out www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/overview/
Q: Are any new changes/enhancements coming to Access Control Service?
A: We are adding beta support for the JSON Web Token (JWT) format and also launching a developer preview for Azure Active Directory.
Q: Will the web sites feature allow for migration path of on premise ASP.NET solutions to Azure?
A: Yes, you can use Web Deploy to package your existing apps and push them to Web Sites check out www.iis.net/download/WebDeploy
Q: Can I connect to the VM over something other than RDP / Port 3389? ie is there any web only interface that allows me to connect?
A: you can open any port you want to the Vm but default connection is only through Rdesktop or ssh
Q: Will you support SSL on shared mode or should I switch to reserve? piggyback, SNI or ip-based?
A: Hi, The shared and reserved mode are now under a wildcard SSL cert. Ability to upload you own cert is coming soon!
Q: Will this update introduce cache roles?
A: Indeed. Please download Azure SDK 1.7 with Visual Studio that has support for Cache role
Q: Can you set your websites to auto-scale based on custom KPIs?
A: Thanks for your feedback on AutoScale. currently we do not support autoscale based on custom threshold values.
Q: Is the distributed cache *replicated* across the nodes, or merely divided across them?
A: Yes you can specify the number of copies of data you want to have
Разработка
Q: When publishing through tfs/git, where is the code compiled? client or in azure? and when doing an incremental change?
A: In the GIT case the compilation will happen on Azure. For TFS it would be on the TFS online server
Q: Will the Compute and Storage emulators be supported on other platforms (e.g. Mac OS X)?
A: Currently only supported on Windows.
Другое
Q: Will Web Sockets work within a Windows Azure Website
A: Web Sockets is not currently supported in Windows Azure sites. You can use WebSockets however in a Linux/Windows VMs via node.exe direct.
Q: Where is SQL Reporting Services located in the new portal? Are there any new features / UI planned for SQL Azure reporting?
A: Sorry Sql reporting is not enabled in the portal at this moment

за то что новый портал работает на айпаде, отдельное спасибо:)
Официальная доступность Windows Azure в 89 странах (включая Россию!)А free trial как не был доступен для России/Украины, так и остался.
кто зарегистрировался — подскажите, как это вообще можно сделать, не прибегая к помощи softline?
..."(а теперь супер-новость – в ZIP-формате!)"…
Да она и раньше была в zip формате. Вас же не-".zip" расширение не останавливает надеюсь?
Лучше бы спецификацию этого формата выложили и зафиксировали, а то там разбираться задолбаешься — «яйцо в утке, утка в зайце, заяц в шоке».
Новый портал прекрасен (хоть и неправильно показывает регионы баз «ФягкуSQL» ), но все то же отсутствие fixed IP — расстраивает.
А не в курсе стало ли что-то лучше в «эмуляторах» в новом SDK, можно ли их как сервис на тестовом сервере поднимать?

Wow, прошу прощения. От двух дней недосыпа крыша, видимо, уезжать начала. Убрал.
В новых версиях эмуляторов добавилась поддержка некоторых фич (об этом сказано в статье), в остальном же пока не вижу разительных отличий. Несмотря на то, что я люблю и уважаю Microsoft, но косяки в новых версиях эмуляторов, к сожалению, всё-таки есть, поэтому я думаю, что надо выждать хотя бы недельки полторы перед развертыванием.

Когда появится поддержка UDP? Пока нет поддержки UDP нельзя делать очень много полезных вещей. Так что ждемс…
Поддержка UDP это дело такое, местами сложное. Слухи о UDP и некоторых других интересных фичах ходят и я все-таки уверен, что оно есть в To-Do разработчиков. Но, как видите, этот мажорный релиз итак содержит множество вещей, которые активно будут допиливаться, поэтому о каких-то сроках говорить рано. Если появится какая-то информация — я обязательно опубликую.
А о каких полезных сценариях вы говорите? Некоторые из них я себе представляю (возможно), но, может быть, что-то новое откроется. :)

Скажем так: UDP — это основа realtime коммуникаций, как аудио, так и видео :) а сценариев их использования может быть масса
Ну значит я не ошибся в своих думах. :) Ждём, я думаю, всё будет!
На TechEd North America, которая прошла 11 июня, Марк Руссинович как раз обратил внимание, что «UDP Traffic Supported in Windows Azure». А так же в документации сказано, что для WebRole Schema, WorkerRole Schema и VirtualMachineRole Schema можно указать UDP —
