Default Windows 7 Key Ruby on Rails becomes latest open-so

To get a though now, Microsoft continues to be courting open-source software program makers to convince them with the wisdom of providing their wares on Windows. So it;s not as well astonishing that many of those same apps also are becoming moved towards the Windows Azure cloud platform.In the end of November, Microsoft architect Simon Davies blogged that he had gotten the open-source Ruby on Rails framework to run on Windows Azure. By utilizing a combination of new functionality within the November Windows Azure software program improvement kit (SDK),Office Home And Stude/nt 2010, plus some new Remedy Accelerator technology, Davies stated he managed to get Ruby on Rails to run. (The fruits of Davies; labors are accessible at Davies blogged:“One of these (new November SDK) features enables Worker Roles to receive network traffic from both external and internal endpoints making use of HTTP, HTTPS and TCP. This new feature enables a large number of new scenarios, one of then is the ability to run existing applications that receive traffic over sockets in Windows Azure.”There are a bunch of these Azure Remedy Accelerators obtainable for download from the Windows Azure Platform Web site. There are also new SDKs for Microsoft;s recently unveiled AppFabric middleware for Java, Ruby and PHP developers, as well, availble for download.Davies noted that Microsoft has demonstrated quite a lot of open-source apps, including MySQL,Windows 7 Key, Mediawiki, Memcached and Tomcat, can run on Windows Azure. Microsoft has been working on delivering PHP and Eclipse tools for Windows Azure.Recently,Office Professional 2007 Key, CNet open-source blogger Matt Asay expressed some concern that Microsoft;s “super-friendly,Windows 7 Home Premium Key, super-dangerous bear hug” of open-source applications — especially inside the cloud realm — could do open-source more harm than good.Some open-source vendors — SugarCRM comes to mind — have developed their own Azure ports of their wares. But in other cases, Microsoft is the instigator, either moving the open-source applications and tools onto Azure or working with a third-party to do so.I don;t see the same kind of potential danger that Asay does in this scenario, since what really matters is whether developers and customers are interested in employing what;s hosted on Azure,Windows 7 Home Premium Key, rather than who “put” the apps inside the cloud. Do you agree?
