Recently we made an update in CDN network, so right now it’s 29 nodes all around the world ( more than before ) and there’s some changes in locations. Full list of Azure CDN nodes is here Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN) Node Locationsand also you may take a look on them here – CDN node locations on bing map
For some people ( who doing Azure-related presentations and slides a lot like me :-) ) this may be useful – now we have two more datacenters in Japan and China, as well as CDN location map is changed, so here’s updated map :
- Windows Azure CDN locations : 24 locations for February 2012 – also see list of Windows Azure CDN node locations

For those who like to use Azure instead of AWS :
Guys from EC2 announced micro instances – it costs 2 (two) cents per hour for linux and now it’s will costs less than traditional dedicated hosting with root access – monthly payment for EC2 micro instance will be about 15 USD, and price for root/linux on dedicated hosting will be about 30 USD/month. It’s really good news – you can have 100 boxes cluster just for two usd per hour! Bad thing is that micro instances don’t have their own disk space – EBS only, looks like this best ever use case for this type of instances will be highly-distributed computational grid with all data stored in RAM. And don’t forget that EBS will costs you some money – $0.10 per allocated GB per month Amazon EBS also charges $0.10 per 1 million I/O requests you make to your volume . Fredrick Poller’s already check out micro instances performance by sysbench : Amazon EC2 Micro instance, how fast is it?.
By unknown reasons Sun JDK was moved to partner repository, so to use sun jdk you need to do this steps
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
and then enjoy :
sudo apt-cache search jdk | grep sun
