Practical Azure #20 - SQL Reporting Services

One of the many values of the cloud is the ability to leverage services that on-premises would require non-trivial hardware and software configurations and to be able to tap into those services in a just-in-time and pay-as-you-go manner. SQL Reporting Service is just such a capability, offering a feature set commensurate with (and in some ways exceeding) that of its “behind-the-firewall’ cousin. Join me on this episode for Practical Azure for a quick overview of the feature and a demo showing just how easy it is to leverage reporting in the cloud.
