What are the new features being introduced in the latest November CTP release of Service Bus and Access Control?
The November CTP focuses on making some key design changes to Service Bus (SB) and Access Control (ACS). With the November CTP, the Service Bus and the Access Control services now include the feature set that will be available when we enter commercial availability early next year. Notably, Service Bus and Access Control are now run on Windows Azure. Updates and changes for the November CTP are: • Access Control: With the November CTP, we are focusing on addressing the large, unmet need around access control for REST web services and delivering a robust infrastructure for REST web services authorization and support. • Service Bus: The Service Bus now offers message buffers to support persistent, asynchronous messaging. It also provides for more ‘clients’ and ‘services’ per solution, as well as an increased number of connections per solution.
