Exploring the Rock, Paper, Azure! Challenge

Posted on: Apr 19 2011 5:40 PM

Date: Wednesday April 27th, 2011 Location: Microsoft Charlotte Campus This month we explore the Rock, Paper, Azure! Challenge with Microsoft Developer Evangalist Brian Hitney. Summary: In this presentation and hands on event, we'll take a technical look at the Rock, Paper, Azure (RPA) project. In the first half, we'll look at the technical details - starting from the project origin to taking the original git codebase and migrating it to working Azure solution. Then, we'll dive into the specific problem areas of the project: scalability and security - while simple to say, these were both perhaps the most time consuming parts of the project. In the last half, we'll play a round - bring your laptop! Outline: - Overview of the project - Migrating to Azure - proof of concept o What works and does not work in Azure. - Issue #1: Scalability o Original app had limited scale o Needed to identify and re-engineer for performance - Issue #2: Security o Original code was surprisingly resilient o We discovered a few vectors o Needed to protect against unfriendly code * P/Invoke, Reflection, Diagnostics/Process, etc. o Security of website and PII * Strong legal requirements - Issue #3: Legal review (optional) - Time to play the game. Reminder: This meeting will be on a Wednesday, not Thursday, and we will be back at the Microsoft Charlotte Campus location. Food and drinks will be provided.
