On my recent appearance on Cloud Cover my demo failed

Sad to say but it happens. Especially, when you don’t test your demo after rebuilding your laptop. That’s OK though. The beauty of the Internet is you can always make up for it later by posting a working example

So here it is in it’s entirety a script that deploys a Windows Azure solution to two data centers and configures Traffic Manager to balance traffic between the endpoints.
