What is Windows Fabric and how to host services in it?

I don’t actually think that Windows Fabric is open product. It is used for infrastructure purposes, and not for deploying custom services. For your custom services you have to use platform built on top of Windows Fabric, like Service Bus, Windows Server App Fabric. I think Windows Fabric is for internal use by Windows Azure and Private Cloud for clustering, load balancing and so on.

UPDATE: I’ve started developing Windows Azure application and here is what I’ve found. I’ve added a Service role to Azure application and started it on local development machine (under Azure emulator). And my service was published in and started under Windows Fabric!

So the conclusion is: Windows Fabric is a platform for running YOUR Cloud Services.
