Cloud Scenarios Hub on TechNet

If you haven’t seen it, TechNet has a Cloud Scenarios Hub.

I like the focus on scenarios – it’s a great way to bring together a problem and a solution in context, while pulling together all the relevant guidance.  It’s a focusing anchor-point in action.

Here’s a quick tour of the scenarios they have so far …

Public Cloud Scenarios

• How To Build and Manage a Business Database Application on SQL Azure
• How To Collaborate Securely with Business Partners Through SharePoint Online
• How To Grow Your Business in a New Region with Exchange Online

• How To Manage Server Costs with Windows Azure
