DTUs, SUs, CU(s) - OMG!
There are a lot of units in Azure to forecast cost for various services. Yeah, even for pay-as-you-go in the cloud, a decent idea of projected cost is required to justify adoption of a new service.
The most recent for me was CU(s) in relation to Azure Fabric Capacity, which was indeed quite baffling. The usual mistake of thinking it must be something similar to other baffling units like DTUs, SUs etc, could cost us. Especially, as a start-up who have been given certain fixed credits by Microsoft for a year.
Thankfully, The Fabric Guy has written an amazingly detailed article on this matter and this should be a must read for anyone even uttering the word “Fabric”.
With that confidence of having understood what CU(s) (not CUs) are, it’s time to hit the road to get a real feel for it.
ASP.NET MVC1.0 installer and VS2008 AddOns
Today I tried all things in vain to try and install ASP.NET MVC 1.0 on to my machine and it just kept failing.
Possible causes, upon Binging focused on conflicting Visual Studio 2008 addons. Among the list of such addons, I had PowerCommands. But, despite uninstalling it, mvc installer complained.
Then I begun uninstalling other possible addons (not listed in the mvc installer readme file). The first to go was SlickEdit gadgets.
Lo and behold, the MVC installation was successful.
