Enterprise Library 5.0 Integration Pack for Windows Azure
Some days ago the Enterprise Library 5.0 Integration Pack for Windows Azure was released, this integration pack includes two application blocks: automatic scale for Web and Worker roles and transient fault handling. The complete set of features included in this pack are:
- Autoscaling Application Block ("Wasabi") to help you to automatically scale both Web and Worker roles in Windows Azure.
- Transient Fault Handling Application Block ("Topaz") to help you make your Windows Azure application more resilient to transient errors.
- Blob configuration source to load configuration information from a blob in your Azure Storage account so that you can modify it without having to redeploy your application to Windows Azure.
- Windows PowerShell cmdlets to browse and manipulate the Autoscaling Application Block settings directly from Windows PowerShell.
- Protected Configuration Provider to allow you to encrypt sections of your configuration files in Windows Azure.
- Updated database creation scripts so that you can migrate your code using the database trace listeners of the Logging Application Block and the Caching Application Block.
- A substantial collection of experience guidance is available to help you ramp up quickly, including:
- Reference documentation
- Developer’s guide
- Tailspin Surveys sample application (reference implementation)
- On-premises sample application for hosting the Autoscaling Application Block and exploratory testing (included with source)
- Planning worksheet for Wasabi to help you understand the interactions between different timing values governing the overall autoscaling regime
