re: Windows Azure: Improvements to Virtual Networks, Virtual Machines, Cloud Services and a new Ruby SDK

With Azure connect I can rdp between 2 on-premise clients that are in the same group. Is this also possible with point-to-site connections?

I find tutorials ans articles on connecting from an on-premise client to a vm in the virtual network but nothing on connections between clients.

Is this possible? How is it done?

Thanks

I have to say first off, great release! I do, however, have some concerns regarding the plethora of "publishing" options this SDK is pushing *inside* Visual Studio. While it's convenient and sharp to demo this functionality, it's making a rather large assumption: that all developers within an organization are/should be trusted to deploy whatever/whenever. I don't think it's a stretch to say that is not the case at many shops. So, are there any controls around these publishing features available, i.e., a way to "turn them off"? Seems a bit presumptuous if not...

Next time you release a new version of the SDK, please have the files available on the TFS service first.

Scott what I would really like to see, is the ability to increase the size of the virtual machine OS disk, 30gb is not enough. Is this on the cards?

Thanks

@Wouter there are no imminent plans to raise the message size limit from 256Kb for Service Bus, the pattern Jack Bond mentions is fairly common but would love to hear if you have specific requirements that are not satisfied by that.

@Paul we have published a sample using the OnMessage APIs: code.msdn.microsoft.com/.../OnMessage-programing-model-58451157

The worker role templates will be updated in the near future.

I am working on a offline mode for a project in C#.

After disconnecting from internet also VPN Client is being alive for sometime for reconnecting attempt. In this situation all c# method says "Internet Connectivity State as True".

I am using the below method to detect whether i am offline or not.

bool isConnected = System.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetIsNetworkAvailable();

The above method is giving status as True when I disconnect from internet and vpn client try to re-connect the server. Normally VPN Connectivity is not going to offline immediately after internet disconnects. VPN Client is taking extra 1 minute to change it status to fully offline. It tries to reconnect to establish a new connection in this time. In between, this 1 minute the above method gives InterConnectivity value as true. But this should give status as false. What is the best method or property to get the correct internet state on this situation?

WebMatrix is grate, better if microsoft focus on a developing tool for distinct purposes. As we have Visual studio, WebMatrix, Blend from microsoft only to develope similar type of applications

Why releasing under Apache license and on Github?

Is this sending the message that the Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL) and CodePlex are not good enough for the Azure SDK?

Hi,

Any update on when are we going to have the hosted build agents for TFS Azure ready for the new SDK? We've upgraded our project but all our builds are failing!

We need this to be fixed asap!

@Wouter

Don't know if it's an option, but one way to handle that problem is to upload the image to blob storage and then just send a link to the blob in the BrokeredMessage.
