TFS 2012 or TFS Azure (Preview)

http://serverfault.com – We want to migrate our current TFS 2010 solution that's hosted today in one of our own servers to TFS 2012 hosted somewhere else. We don't want to handle the servers any more, and therefor are looking at alternatives. TFS preview / Azure is one alternative, hosted in the cloud, but I'm not that happy with forcing users to use live id, and we don't have an AD. My second thought was to create a Azure virtual mashine, and there install and host TFS 2012. Is there any downsides with this? Compared to the price of bying a VPS this is cheap and feels reliable in Azure? Do you have any other (HowTos)

I've just taken over a web project hosted on Windows Azure.

We've been having performance problems, and I noticed today that our SQL Azure server is in the West Europe region, while the instances hosting our site are in the North Europe region.

How big a problem is this? Assuming it's a problem (and I assume it is at least a problem from a bandwidth billing point of view!) how do I fix it?

It is adequate for just serving a small website with SQLExpress. However it is very, very slow in all other cases. It shows 98 to 100% CPU usage while installing any new software, opening, closing, configuring the various tools and servers.

Im planning to move to Azure VM XS instance. It will cost about the same, once Azure VM goes GA.

Let's say you have a Windows Azure Virtual Machine preview account.

I would like to know if there is an easy strategy for migrating a Windows Server 2008 R2 installation from Amazon EC2 to Windows Azure. I would like to avoid reinstalling applications and recreating all the user accounts with the proper permissions.

I have setup a couple or Windows 2012 instances on Azure VM. I am trying to configure DFS-R, which requires the instances to be members of a domain.

I signed up for Azure Active Directory, which does not seem to be the right solution.

Do i have any other options? I do not have an on premise Active Directory connected to Azure.

Microsoft has released WebMatrix 3, the latest version of its free web development tool. The new version now comes with deeper Windows Azure integration and support for GitHub. WebMatrix users can now sign in through Windows Azure and create up to 10 sites for free.

We have a database hosted by SQL Azure, and accessed via a REST service that itself is accessible only via https. We wonder though whether we should encrypt all or part of the database in case it was to be accessed by a hacker (we are not a prime target, but students will know of the system).

Last Thursday at the Meet Windows Azure party in San Francisco, attendees learned how developers can use Linux on Windows Azure.

first of all, I couldn't find a StackExchange site on Cloud Computing.

We use a few Azure SQL servers. Each server has one database (partitioned per application modules). Almost each server has something sensitive.

Right now we've got protection per the following
