Windows 7 Phone Cloud

I read Cloud Computing here and still don't get it. Basically, I want to develop for WP7 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff402531%28v=VS.92%29.aspx#AppPlat_Overview_Arch

Now he mentions everything as being in the "Cloud." Is any server a cloud? If I have a WCF or wsdl service on my server. Can I consider myself a "cloud"? Or is there something that a server emits that checks to see if it is a cloud?

I am sure that Microsoft will prefer you to choose your version of "Cloud", which is Windows Azure , but still, the cloud can mean WCF / WSDL on your server.

The only true “cloud” is telecommunications - everything else is basically someone or some company offering services offered over the Internet.

The Windows Phone 7 dev platform fully supports web services calling (SOAP / REST), so for your scenario, yes, you could think of yourself as a cloud.

Having said that, I think that the notion that everything in the cloud simply means that all the information that you provided to the installed application is most likely stored / managed using the service. This service, we hope, will be installed on a reliable provider of cloud computing (it can be Microsoft Azure or any other provider). This makes sense in light of the fact that the information that we put in telephone applications is usually very valuable. If it is hosted on a trusted cloud provider's website, it will obviously be good in terms of reliability and security. But reiterate that (or any cloud service) is NOT a requirement.

I hope that answered your question.

I compare the cloud with any service available over the Internet. This may include cloud applications such as Microsoft Azure, similar software / platform as a service offers from other providers, dedicated server hosting or public server hosting solutions, which are much cheaper.

There was some confusion for Windows Phone 7 developers when Microsoft's cloud offering was offered to students when the All In campaign started, while the Windows Phone 7 campaign continued to work.

For the developer, the confusion was caused by the question of how I can support the costs of Microsoft or another platform as a service offer, when my application will be free or return income of an unknown amount.

In the much-needed positioning comments offered to Windows Phone 7 developers, Microsoft clearly pointed to Cloud regarding shared hosting services, their cloud services, and Windows Phone 7 applications.

In short, this is a budget challenge. If you have income to cover cloud services (maybe for any provider), then this is the most scalable model. Until then, it is recommended to use traditional hosting services.

This is explained in more detail in this post.
