Visual Studio Unleashed

Microsoft dropped a cloud container to the PDC. This thing is awesome in its size and scope. A couple cool facts:

1. It is designed to run outside … even in extreme heat. You drop it into a secured area next to a cheap power source and let it go. No need to house it in a building or data center.
2. It is water cooled. No air-conditioning … just a water drip.
3. You can walk inside it to change filters, drives, etc. I have a picture of me inside it (pulling a drive) that did not turn out (thanks Lars) … will try and shoot another one.
4. It takes one guy about 4 days to build out the container itself. Very nice process (need to find the video on that).

A picture of me next to the container (back side) … this thing was running (not too loud):
