We’re introducing a new section in the Windows Azure technical library called Real World Windows Azure Guidance, which features articles written by MVPs and other members of the community. The articles provide useful information based on real-world experience with Windows Azure. More guidance will be published soon, so bookmark this page and return later to see what’s new.

The first article in this section Real World: Startup Lifecycle of a Windows Azure Role was written by Cory Fowler, a Windows Azure MVP. Cory’s article explains how role startup works in the Windows Azure so that you know what to expect when you deploy an application.
