Now you have SQL Azure Reporting Services in the Cloud

At the PDC on October 28th Microsoft announced two new features for SQL Azure Reporting CTP and SQL Azure Data Sync CTP2.
You can embed cloud based reports using SQL Azure Data. You use the familiar SSRS to author reports and use it on-site or, up on the cloud (you can have your cake and eat it too!).
SQL Azure Sync CTP2 enables synchronization between on-premises SQL Server and SQL Azure. Now you have it both ways.
If you are new to SSRS I strongly recommend my book,

New things in the works for SQL Azure

 This is what I am hearing....and cannot wait.

Not only Windows Azure platform will be getting new stuff in the coming months, SQL Azure will also be enhanced by the end of the year. You will have SQL Azure Reporting as well as SQL Azure Analytics. Perhaps a CTP will appear first.

The SQL Azure Reporting will support embedded WORD, EXCEL and PDF to Windows Azure applications.

SQL Azure Data Sync-  Geo location to SQL Azure data for both cloud and mobile applications will be in place by the end of 2010.

A web based Database Manager for SQL Azure will be available by the year end, perhaps an improved version of the gorgeous looking 'Houston Project'.
