March 31, 2011Mar 31, 201103/31/11In order to set up Windows Azure Connect, you need to install a piece of software called Azure Connect Agent in each server/machine from your datacenter that you want to access.
In order to do that, you usually have to access Azure-Portal in order to get a specific agent for each server.

I publish this error as its cause was really weird:
I was getting an error when trying to start any Management Console related program (mmc.exe based admin tool), like Certificates, Event Viewer, etc.
The error was:
“The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

March 12, 2011Mar 12, 201103/12/11I just wanted to record a few options I found for Windows Azure Storage backup-restore (I’m not talking about SQL Azure, in this case).
If you have any other option for this matter, please tell me and I’ll be happy to update this post.

One of the typical issues is getting the error “One of the request inputs is not valid” that occurs when testing the application with empty tables in development storage. This is because Development Storage currently requires the schema for an entity stored in a table to have been previously defined before you are allowed to query it.
