Windows Azure AppFabric CTP February release – Breaking Changes announcement and scheduled maintenance

The next update to the Windows Azure AppFabric LABS environment is scheduled for February 9, 2011 (Wednesday).  Users will have NO access to the AppFabric LABS portal and services during the scheduled maintenance down time.    

When:

     START: February 9, 2011, 10 am PST

     END: February 9, 2011, 6 pm PST

Impact Alert:

The AppFabric LABS environment (Service Bus, Access Control, Caching, and portal) will be unavailable during this period. Additional impacts are described below.

 Action Required:

Cache SDK and the Cache service are being refreshed in this release. There are a few breaking changes in the new SDK. As part of this service upgrade existing caches will not be migrated and existing Service Namespaces will be deleted. We advise customers to download the new SDK, provision new cache namespaces endpoints on the portal, recompile their applications with the new SDK and redeploy their applications.

There will be no change or loss of accounts or Service Namespaces for the Service Bus or Access Control services.

Thank you for working in LABS and giving us valuable feedback.  Once the update becomes available, we'll post the details via this blog. 

Stay tuned for the upcoming LABS release! 

The Windows Azure AppFabric Team

    When will be available new AppFabric SDK? As I understand 1.0 (October release) does not work with this February release?
