Red Dog Racing is a 3D driving game that makes use of back-end services hosted in Windows Azure. Sector and lap time data and telemetry data is send from the game to the Windows Azure Service Bus. A worker role is used to de-queue and process the data and store it as entities in Windows Azure Table Storage. Telemetry data is also sent to Windows Azure Blob Storage to provide the game with a replay function that displays ghost cars for the fastest laps driven by other players. The best lap times, overall standings, and driver telemetry data can be viewed on a website.

Windows Azure provides a number of services that allow existing on-premise applications to be extended to the cloud, or migrated to cloud-based hosting. In this demo intensive application an on-premise multi-tier application will first be extended to the cloud using the Windows Azure Service Bus, before being fully migrated to Windows Azure using Windows Azure Websites, Worker Roles and Windows Azure SQL Database. The end result will be a fully cloud-hosted application.
