Found out what the Guest OS is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee924680.aspx
Looks to be "snapshots" of the Azure virtual image with windows security patches applied V1.0 "Enhancements to and optimization of the Windows Azure fabric layer in which the guest operating system runs" V2.0 "Stability and security patch fixes applicable to Windows Azure Guest OS, as noted below." From: ozazure-boun...@lists.codify.com [mailto:ozazure-boun...@lists.codify.com] On Behalf Of David Burela Sent: Tuesday, 2 February 2010 11:40 AM To: ozAzure Subject: New version of Azure SDK released Microsoft just dropped v1.1 of the tools & SDK http://blogs.msdn.com/jnak/archive/2010/01/29/february-2010-release-of-the-windows-azure-tools-for-microsoft-visual-studio-v1-1.aspx only major updates seem to be 1. You can mount Azure storage to your computer. E.g. Z:\ then just read/write to it 2. "OS Version Support: Allows a Windows Azure application to choose the appropriate Guest OS to run on in the cloud." I haven't heard about this 2nd one, not too sure what they mean by "choose the appropriate Guest OS". Could be related to being able to create your own custom Azure images with Tomcat / mysql installed? But a heads up, it requires VS2010 RC which hasn't been released yet. Must be coming out soon -David Burela
