Add Metrics, Logging, Leasing to Your Windows Azure Storage
Steve Marx, Microsoft Technical Strategist for Windows Azure, has put together a set of source code and example that shows how you can add support the new storage analytics API.
It uses smarx.WazStorageExtensions, a collection of useful extension methods for Windows Azure storage operations that aren't covered by the .NET client library.
The examples in his post show how with a few lines of code you can:
- enable metrics with a 7-day retention policy
- try to lease a blob and write "Hello, World!" to it
- check the existence of a blob
