How does Windows Azure perform load balancing?

Ok to give a correct answer here - Azure DOES support load balancing in front of both web and worker roles (so the answer marked as best on this thread is completely wrong), but it does not support Affinity load balancing which is what jvenema was asking for I think. The current implementation uses round robin behaviour.

Azure handles load-balancing for table storage and SQL Azure by distributing traffic across the instances you set up.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
