Best of MSDN Blogs–Building Large Scale Elastic Database Tiers with SQL Azure

I ran across a blog on federations with SQL Azure, and then happened on a cool video that shows how easy it is to create a federation. More importantly I guess, the video shows all of us where Microsoft is in all of this cloud stuff, and gives us a feel for the features and how far along they are with the technology.  I tried to embed the vid but it’s a Silverlight, so I skipped searching for it and just enclosed the link. It’s below.

I do recommend the vid. Pretty cool stuff! Think I’ll go dork with one now.

Love this scale-out stuff, but wish all of the splitting and whatnot was automatic
