Today we released some great enhancements to Windows Azure. These new capabilities include:
- Active Directory: General Availability release of Windows Azure AD – it is now ready for production use!
- Backup Service: New Service that enables secure offsite backups of Windows Servers in the cloud
- Web Sites: Monitoring and Diagnostic Enhancements
All of these improvements are now available to start using immediately (note: some services are still in preview).
