Mike Amundsen Posts Sample SQL Server Data Services Provisioning Application
Mike’s New Provisioning Client Example Web App thread of July 4, 2008 in the SQL Server Data Services (SSDS) - Getting Started forum includes a link to the SSDS Provisioning Client Web service that lets you manage authorities, containers, and entities.
For those of you without an SSDS beta account, here’s a retouched screen capture of Firefox 3 showing the Manage Containers page listing the containers created by my SSDSNwindEntitiesCS.sln sample project with the Container per Entity checkbox marked:
And here’s a capture of the first Customers entity:
If you have an SSDS beta account click here to log in and test-drive the service. You can download the source code from Mike’s site. (He promises to post in to CodePlex shortly.)
Note: It was my understanding that beta users would only be provisioned a single authority, but I was able to create another with Mike’s service. (My demo app assumes an existing authority, so his services is a good way to create one.)

Hey Roger,
A quick comment. Authorities are the unit of geo-location and billing within SSDS. In the beta you can create as many as you would like. When the service goes live, you will receive a bill per Authority.
@Dave,
I'm aware of purpose of Authorities, but was under the apparent misconception that beta testers were limited to one. Perhaps that limitation applied to Google App Engine or SimpleDB that I was testing earlier this year.
Anyhow, I'm glad to see that I can create as many Authorities as I like, but apprehensive about receiving a bill if I don't clean them out before SSDS goes commercial.
Enabling and potentially billing for multiple authorities makes it all the more important to be able to obtain a list of them.

Just a ping to let you know I updated the Provisioning example app to support caching on the proxy side. Now all GETs return ETags and all PUTs require the If-Match to make sure the update does not overwrite someone else's changes.
Once SSDS supports caching, I'll update the proxy to get it inline.
