Description

Workflow Manager 1.0 builds on the continuum of hosting options that the .NET framework provides today with WorkflowApplication and WorkflowServiceHost, to provide a brand new, managed host for executing workflows. The cloud provides a great opportunity for us to provide an "always on" environment for running, monitoring and managing workflows. With a cloud offering, organizations can focus more of their energies on the design of the workflow logic itself - and integration with their applications - instead of spending time on building infrastructure. Workflow Manager 1.0 will take care of many of the challenges customers have today in managing their workflow artifacts, building out their hosting environment, configuring it for scale and high availability, managing a farm of machines running their applications, and so on. The service also provides new capabilities for SaaS ISVs to provide user extensibility to their applications in an efficient, secure, multi-tenant way.
