Microsoft BizTalk Server 2013 in Windows Azure IaaS TechEd Session Online

The session I presented at TechEd 2013 North American on Windows Azure IaaS and BizTalk Server 2013 is now online!

I cover the new MSDN Benefits, using BizTalk with IaaS, creating a new Azure Virtual Machine Multi-Server Domain, and review some sample scenarios that are now possible with the pay-per-hour model.

I am still working on some better PowerShell scripts to automate the domain creation.  I am about 90% of the way along.  I will post them shortly when they are better optimized.  If you want my draft scripts just drop me an email.

If you missed me at TechEd US, I’ll be giving the same session at TechEd Europe in Madrid!  Hope to see you there.

Upgrading BizTalk Server 2010 to 2013 – need to provision permissions on BizTalkMgmtDb.bts_dynamic_sendport_handlers table

In the last week I have already helped out with two issues on a BizTalk 2010 to 2013 upgrade project that had the same root cause and I thought it was worth documenting this so as to save others the headache of having to figure this out themselves. BizTalk 2013 contains a new feature in […]
