This section focuses on applying Enterprise Library functionality in a Windows Azure scenario. First, it describes at a high level what Enterprise Library is and how ready it is for the Windows Azure platform. In the second part of the chapter it highlights how to apply these features in a Windows Azure scenario and what is added to Enterprise Library to solve specific Windows Azure problems. In the last part of the chapter, we will demonstrate how we can solve the problem of automatic scaling inside the Geotopia scenario. It is expected that the load on Geotopia will grow over time, and we will outline a growth scenario combined with unexpected spikes in the load on the system and how these different growth patterns can be supported with Enterprise Library.
