Make StorageClient library more unit test friendly
Currently, a developer has to jump through hoops to unit test code written against the StorageClient library. There is no official guidance for unit testing your apps, and after looking around for what others were doing I settled on creating custom interfaces and objects that wrap the library like the guys did with: http://cloudstorageapi.codeplex.com/.
How about making official interfaces for the library and providing us with an testing-oriented in-memory implementation that we can use to immediatly begin unit testing our apps without any hassle.

Provide API to access vmName in service config and the ability to do reverse lookups based on IP of role
It would be very usefull to get hostname from ip. The current RoleInstance API's provide access to the IP Address of the endpoint, however none of the Dns methods will resolve the IP back to a host name. In addition, a simple API to to get the vmName specified in the service config would be very useful.

Create NuGet packages for all assemblies in the Windows Azure SDK
Today there are official NuGet packages for some of the assemblies in the Azure SDK like Service Bus and Configuration Manager. Others are missing, like Service Runtime. There are some community contributed packages, but I prefer official ones.
The motivation for NuGet packages is the same as always:
* you automatically get the needed changes in your app/web.config
* you can more easily change the version number of the assembly that you like to use, in the package.config and then push to your VCS. Compare this with reinstalling a new version of the SDK on every developer/CI/build machine.
* the…3 votes
