13. Storage: How do we keep secrets secret? Proxy the requests Client sends data to web role Web role sends data to storage (1) (2) Web Role

14. Storage: Using Shared Access Signatures Client makes request of Web Role for SAS Web Role sends client SAS Client makes Read Request or Writes direct Client gets response (1) (3) Web Role (2) (4)

16. Next Steps Optimize storage calls of CreateIfNotExist Larger files upload blocks in parallel to the blob Windows Azure CDN Windows Azure Media Services Use CloudConfigurationManager to allow portability between WAWs and Cloud Services

17. Geolocation Add Point of Interest Radial Search

18. Location Basics

19. Demo

20. using System.Data.Spatial; namespace GeoLocation.Models { public class PointOfInterest { public Guid Id { get; set; } [StringLength(200)] public string Description { get; set; } public PointOfInterstType Type { get; set; } public string Url { get; set; } public DbGeography Location { get; set; } } } public class LocationContext : DbContext { public DbSet PointOfInterest { get; set; } } using (var db = new LocationContext()) { return db.PointOfInterest.Where(p => p.Location.Distance(origin) <= radiusInMeters); } EF 4.3.1 vs >= 5.0 with Spatial Data
