Azure is fast - Win trip to Las Vegas

Microsoft made a daring move by teaming up with NoClue - the current Guinness Book of World Records' fastest rapper. He has been clocked at 723 syllables in 51.27 seconds. 

So what does Microsoft want with NoClue?
Well to demonstrate the speed of Windows Azure, Microsoft asked NoClue to create one of the fastest raps on Windows Azure. Here were the results.


Didn't catch that?
We thought not, so here's the lyrics:

Somebody better ... Stop me,

Wait a minute ... They're not me,

Windows Azure got my back can't stop me,

Now ... Watch me,

Scaling web applications so promptly,

Organizing everything in a platform cloud,

Keeping everything together floating around,

Moving at the speed of light never slowing us down,

Comprise three recourses holding it down,

SaaS, software, paaS, platform, IaaS, infrastructure, together it last

We're thinking outside the box,

Staring though Windows,

Secured in a Microsoft data center,

Files send those,

Hosting storage see they commend those,

Management compute,

That's Azure Windows,

Modern day Manzoni, only in my prim and leaving them lonely,

Lonely oenone, there's nothing better you can show me homie,

I'll be using it and moving quicker then anybody,

It's not a hobby, and if you know... me, you know that

Put them in the back of an online backpack,

Moving... this quick so we don't lack,

Wait a minute..., no we gone quick, and that's that

Window Azure moving forward never back,

Staring through windows looking at hadoop, mongoDB, java, were on top

php, python—you can run them quickly.

Hosting storage they commend those.

Content Delivery Network, it's in those.

Creating websites in seconds Azure Windows.

Spinning VM's

NoClue

Now you can travel light and at that same speed.

Cacheing

Azure Windows, we in this.

Ride with me to the future at full speed.
