Microsoft announced that its Azure cloud computing platform will be launched into production on January 1st of 2010. Chief software architect Ray Ozzie also unveiled details of a cloud computing project, codenamed 'Dallas'.
The statements were made at the annual gathering of Microsoft developers--the 2009 PDC (Professional Developers Conference). To ensure the success of the Azure platform, Microsoft needs its army of independent developers to embrace the cloud computing paradigm, and it took advantage of the gathering to spotlight Azure and get developers interested.
Azure will officially go into production on January 1st, but the platform will be free the first month. Customers will start to be billed beginning February 1st.
