Learning Labs
In the light of the recent release of the Windows Azure Libraries for Java by Microsoft, we are working closely with Microsoft to help current users of Soyatec's Windows Azure SDK for Java learn about the new APIs from Microsoft.: We provide more information and support related to this transition on our website. Here is the Migration of Windows Azure SDK for Java.
Introduction
In these labs you will review what is available for Java Developers to utilize Windows Azure Storage Services.
The Windows Azure Storage services provide persistent, redundant storage in the cloud. The storage services include these fundamental services:
- Blobs
- Queues
- Tables
The REST APIs for the Windows Azure storage services offer developers a means to access these Blob, Queue, and Table services in Windows Azure or in the development environment.
All storage services are accessible via REST APIs. Storage services may be accessed from within a service running in Windows Azure, or directly over the Internet from any application that can send an HTTP/HTTPS request and receive an HTTP/HTTPS response.
