SSAS on Windows Azure Virtual Machines
Reposted from Chris Webb's blog with the author's permission.
You may have already seen the announcement about Windows Azure Virtual Machines today; what isn't immediately clear (thanks to Teo Lachev for the link) is that Analysis Services 2012 Multidimensional and Reporting Services are installed on the new SQL Server images. For more details, see:

SSAS 2012 Tabular is also supported but not initially installed.
