How can developers use AppFabric?
Ever since we released the first CTP of the Windows Azure™ platform last year, customers have made it clear that connectivity as a service is a key requirement of their modern computing architectures, which include a mixture of cloud applications and on-premises systems. In response to that feedback, Windows Azure platform AppFabric provides secure connectivity via Service Bus and Access Control. From simple eventing scenarios to service remoting and complex protocol tunneling, the Service Bus gives developers the flexibility to connect applications and to choose how they communicate. This helps them build distributed and composite applications while also helping address the challenges presented by firewalls, NATs, dynamic IP, and disparate domains and identity systems. Access Control enables developers to externalize authorization decisions in a federated, claims-based manner, which helps them develop simple, easier-to-manage access control logic for REST web services and Service Bus
