We are taking the lessons from running cloud services and feeding them into our products to make them better. During our planning for Windows Server 2012, we spent a lot of time with our cloud services to understand what worked well and where their pain points were. When you run services at the scale we are running things, every little problem gets amplified and every improvement helps enormously. These learnings are translated into dozens and dozens of features in the areas of performance, automating everything, supporting datacenter topologies, continuous availability, and minimizing mean-time-to-detection (MTTD)/mean-time-to-recovery (MTTR). In today’s blog, Mukul Sabharwal, a software development engineer on the Bing team, describes a few of the features of Windows Server 2012, their effect on the Bing Service, and why Bing is adopting and deploying Windows Server 2012 as fast as they can. As you’ll see, Windows Server 2012 is truly a cloud-optimized operating system.
