Windows Azure: July CTP released

Microsoft released a new CTP for windows Azure. From the first view it does not look like having tons of features, but it has one very important feature implemented. The new feature is gonna help the complex application developers utilize the powerful feature of having multiple types of web roles and worker roles.

I was developing one framework and faced the same issue, I couldn't create multiple types of worker roles under one cloud service. But, the July CTP is actually helping me resolve the design complexities.

New Features in SDK:
1. It allows to create multiple types of web roles and worker roles with multiple instances of these worker/web roles.
2. New project creation window.
3. Suport for building cloud services from TFS builds.
4. Enhanced robustness and stability.
