Microsoft SQL Azure CTP Available
Yesterday, Microsoft announced the first community technology preview of SQL Azure Database, a cloud-based relational database service built on Microsoft SQL Server technologies. With SQL Azure Database, you can easily provision and deploy relational database solutions to the cloud, and take advantage of globally distributed data centers that provides enterprise-class availability, scalability, and security with the benefits of built-in data protection, self-healing and disaster recovery.
To register for the free trial, visit http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/sqlserver/dataservices/default.aspx.
To learn more about SQL Azure, visit http://www.microsoft.com/azure/sql.mspx.
Additionally, see the updated SQL Azure content in the August release of the Windows Azure Platform Training Kit.
SQL Azure documentation on MSDN is also a great learning resource.
