I was surprised to find an Amazon Web Services booth at the Microsoft PDC yesterday. They had nothing specific to say regarding additional Windows support or capabilities – at least not officially. What I did get was a wink-wink, nudge, nudge when I commented on Azure’s integration with Active Directory and other touchpoints. “This is coming soon,” I was then told. Then they saw that I had a media badge and that ended the discussion…
Looks like the enterprise is the battleground – which was only a matter of time. Following the great enterprise roadmap preview I saw last week at the RightScale user meeting in Santa Clara, this is quickly becoming a great market for business computing.
