A few days ago, we updated the CTP (Community Technology Preview) of Project Codename Austin, the Windows Azure service that provides StreamInsight-based event processing in the Cloud. Apart from the service itself, we also updated the client bits and the sample.
The new features in this version are:
- Service and query level restart upon Azure node reboot
- Monitoring of Austin instances, automatic restart of unresponsive instances
- Built-in HTTP-based ingress endpoint
- StreamInsight v1.2 feature parity: LINQ improvements, UDSO (excluding checkpointing)
- Various bugfixes
CTP participants can download the package including new client bits, samples, and documentation from the Connect download page—look for the Austin February CTP download. If you cannot see the Austin material, let us know, so that we add you to the StreamInsight Advisory Group. If you are already in the Advisory Group and can access the material, but haven’t participated in the CTP yet, we need to enable your Azure subscription before you can provision Austin. Again, let us know and we will take care of it.
Regards,
The Austin Team
