Cloud Hosting Journal on Ulitzer
Yesterday a friend of mine was asking me what I’ve been doing lately in my spare time. When I mentioned that I’d been doing a lot of messing around with Windows Azure, he was naturally curious. After explaining what Azure is, he asked me what the difference was between Windows Azure, a cloud computing environment, and traditional web hosting scenarios.
On a really high level, he’s got a valid point : With Azure you can develop your application offline locally and then when you’re done you can publish it to a remote host. To the casual observer, this looks exactly like what you might do with a web hosting company that provides space on an IIS box and let’s you use ASP.NET and maybe even a little SQL server database.

Azure completely changes the way people think about building scalable and reliable web applications available on the Internet
