Should you move your data to the cloud? — 3 Comments

  1. James – nice post!. The point about firing up a server quickly can’t be stressed enough.

    Have worked on a number of projects where we faced some serious performance issues after releasing to production because we didn’t have time to thoroughly stress-test the code and HW configuration. Being able to spin up a large(enough) server in a few minutes and start testing the code/config would have would have definitely helped alleviate the pain. It would have also been a fairly easy sell to the business since we would only be on the hook for usage costs while waiting on the real HW to come in.

    On a related note, when are we going to see APS (or some form of mpp hw) in the MSFT cloud?
