Its more and more getting a game, finding the next db to hack in. I assume they will not stop until all sonypages are security proofed.
Loosing ps3 online system costs 100 million revenue, decreasing reputation on sharemarkets cost 1 billion, getting a security check of companies online systems, priceless.
#Cloud Meeting in Munich @Logica May 19th

There i am invited to explain our concept of developing Sharepoint in the cloud.

#Sharepoint Application Lifecylce #SPALM
Very interesting approach we are using in our latest Sharepoint Project.
#Lightswitch in the cloud. Time for Good News. #Microsoft
I had an eye on Lightswitch last year when it was released. It is a nice framework to build quick Business Apps. Now Microsoft decided to bring it into the cloud. Good idea , as i think. Here you find a very good overview about this issue.
#Amazon EC 2 #Cloud Easter Crash
A sad weekend for all cloud users. With the 21. April 2011 noon the cloud lost its innocence. A lot of trust that was given to Amazon for the EC2 Service swept away in only few hours.
It took Amazon about 3 days to recover the services hosted in their data center in Virgina (us-east-1c). Means a lot of services of Amazons customers were not running partly the whole 3 days. In some cases it had bad follow-up. As one customer runs the monitoring of heart patients in amazon cloud. This examples shows how wrong the decisions could be made, when choosing data for the cloud. Here it was irresponsible, and Amazon did not show a good reaction in not answering the contacting tries of this customer. Even when they had the time to answer a question if the error was caused by skynet. Skynet is a fictional company from the movie terminator.
I wonder what took so much time that amazon lost a complete data center for 3 days. I hope we will see a detail analyze on that events and actions was taken. It seems to be too early to finish the lessons learned session on it. But i would say that this weekend will be a historical moment in cloud history. And we will not remember it in a good manner.
If you like to follow the actual status of your machines then see Amazons EC Status Page.
Update:
There was a data loss. In sum 11 hours of data are missing and will not be restoreable. But i am sure that these involved companies had backups of their data. Or not?
Azure Storage Membership Provider
A helpful Project that i found as brandnew (I got the very second Download) providing what i was searching for. It saves me some hours of work.
Use it as template when you need simple storage Account Membership providers for a Webpage on Azure.
Download and Import it to Visual Studio, run it. Ready.
The rest is adaption.
