Microsoft’s WF/WCF host server codename “Dublin” now has a new cool name and a promise of a great future.

Windows Server App Fabric as it is now known since it has been merged with the product formally known as “Velocity” is to be the foundation for internal hosted scalable application farms, with the ability to migrate projects (Hinted, not yet promised) to the cloud (Azure)

I have been waiting a long time for Microsoft to see the light over service hosting, what makes this step so good is the tooling and monitoring provided.

the management is provided inside IIS Manager which will in my opinion help its adoption in the IT community, along with a great dashboard App Fabric is set to move into the hearts and minds of the whole community.

Get it here along with a ton of related resources , tutorials and hands on labs.
