Now you can create and deploy RSSBus Simple Services on Windows Azure! RSSBus for Azure is a pure
.NET implementation of RSSBus designed exclusively for deployment to the Microsoft cloud.
RSSBus for Azure facilitates the creation of simple services and service based web applications
using the Microsoft Windows Azure. RSSBus for Azure includes the RSSBus Engine, a library of RSSBus
Connectors, the Admin Console, and a set of Simple Service demo scripts.
Due to the security restrictions of the Windows Azure platform some RSSBus Connectors may be
unavailable for deployment to the Azure Cloud Service. For a complete list of RSSBus Connectors available
for RSSBus Server, please visit the Connector Gallery.
RSSBus for Windows Azure Will Help You:
Connect to information sources with the library of pre-defined services.
Define new services and access data sources through RSSBus Connectors.
Create custom feeds, widgets, and services that are accessible through simple standards-based interfaces including SOAP, REST, HTML, RSS, ATOM, JSON, XLS, CSV, and more.
Developers can enhance RSSBus for Azure with additional data sources with the Extensible Connector architecture.
Building and Deploying Custom RSSBus Connectors
Although RSSBus for Azure comes with some pre-made Connectors, developers can build and deploy their own custom Connectors.
You can learn more about extending RSSBus with new Connectors via the Developers Guide to Extending RSSBus
To deploy an RSSBus Connector, simply drop the Connector dll into the /bin folder of your Azure application. The new RSSBus Connector will be loaded upon the next execution request.
