Getting Started with Windows Azure Connect

Windows Azure Connect (previously known as Project codename Sydney) is a new feature that enables Windows Azure users to setup secure, IP-level network connectivity between their Windows Azure services and on-premises resources. Windows Azure Connect is currently available as a CTP (invite-only, so if you are interested in trying out you will need to request access through the new Windows Azure portal.

In this first post, we wanted to provide a few links to help you get started with Windows Azure Connect.

• Overview of Windows Azure Connect
• PDC 2010 presentation on “Understanding Windows Azure Connect”
• Step-by-step tutorial that walks through how to setup Windows Azure Connect

If you have questions or feedback, you can post them to the Connectivity forum.   You can of course leave comments on the blog as well. We look forward to hearing from you!
