The SDK and MAML stack and what you can expect in each layer

Available via NuGet

independently major revisions

infrequent and with minimal

breaking changes sole

dependency for each MAML

library

Contains HTTP authorization

context amp cloud context

abstractions

Implemented as Portable Class

Library (PCL) so any PCL-

compliant platform is supported

Completely open source

Each platform (Windows Phone

Windows Desktop Windows Store

Apps and Silverlight) is tied to the

SDK common via a NuGet-

installed wrapper

Platform-specific support for cloud

credential implementations such

as AAD Token or X509

Certificate-based implementations

Completely open source

Each Azure resource type (Web

Sites Compute SQL Storage

etc) is represented by an

individual management client and

NuGet package

No interdependencies and partner

teams are enabled to ship at their

own cadence

Completely open source though

parts of each operation are

generated by a tool wersquore

planning to release with an open

source license later in 2014

Think about the evolution of the Azure API sort of like this
