Windows Azure Platform での Beta プログラムについて

2011/05/18 現在

■ Windows Azure Connect
The Windows Azure Connect CTP provides secure IP-level connectivity between Windows Azure and on-premises IT resources. Please see  Virtual Network  for more details.

こちらは amazon AWS VPC 同等の機能提供でしょうか。

■Traffic Manager
he Windows Azure Traffic Manager CTP is a new feature that allows you to load balance traffic to multiple hosted services. You can choose from three load balancing methods: Performance, Failover, or Round Robin. Traffic Manager will monitor your hosted service on any http or https port you choose. If it detects your service is offline it will send traffic to the next best available service. Please see  Virtual Network  for more details.

これは、昔の inktomi Traffic Server 同等の機能提供をするのではないか？と期待を込めています。

■VM Role
The VM Role Beta Program includes a new Windows Azure role that allows you to upload a custom virtual hard disk image of a Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machine and run it in Windows Azure.  By checking the box to opt-in to the VM Role Beta program, you accept the  license terms  for your use of the Windows Server 2008 R2 software in the VM Role Beta Program.

これら３点を Management Potal から申し込んだところ Pending となりました。
