Raphael Simon - Senior Systems Architect, RightScale Shivan Bindal - Product Manager, RightScale. Deploying Windows-based applications in the cloud has historically been challenging because the available machine images were often inconsistent across regions/clouds and they lacked simple remote control. Add in the inflexibility that comes with pre-baked application stacks along with a lack of consistent automation, and you have the recipe for a sudden onset migraine. With RightScale ServerTemplates™, you can dynamically configure, launch, and manage your Windows software stacks in the cloud. We'll showcase a proven setup for a scalable, production .NET web application and present a live demo in which we'll use ServerTemplates with built-in Microsoft best practices to launch a SQL Server-based web application.
