          At PDC 2010, we announced a number of enhancements to the operator experience on Azure. These include a completely redesigned portal, access to new diagnostic information, a vastly simplified sign-up process, and scenario-based forums to help answer questions and facilitate knowledge sharing.

          These Windows Azure enhancements will be generally available by the end of 2010.

          Please continue to let us know how we can improve the deployment experience on Windows Azure for you.

              At PDC 2010 Microsoft announced the Extra Small Instance, which will be priced at $0.05 per compute hour in order to make the process of development, testing and trial easier. This will make it affordable for developers interested in running smaller applications on the platform. A beta of this role will be available before the end of 2010.

              Please let us know if this addresses your needs for a more cost effective Azure offering.

              The extra small instances are OK but I would really want extra extra small instances designed for running one small site on.

              Also SQL Azure prices are too high, step wise. A 50mb/100mb step before 1GB would be great, most sites I design when small only have say a 20mb database size!

              Smaller sizes of cache as well or can you split this out and share across many clients?
