It is being released as a commercial product, so I would imagine they will make it as stable and reliable as they can.

A:
As other have said you're looking for the Windows Azure Platform. The platform consists of the following components:
- Windows Azure: Cloud services OS
- .Net Services: Services Bus, Access Control Service, Workflow Service
- SQL Azure: Cloud database storage, can store database up to 10GB in size as announced at WPDC '09
- Live Services: Windows Live integration
The pricing for the could services was announced earlier today at WPDC 2009 and in addition they announced that it would become commerically available at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) later this year. Util then these services are available free of charge in the form of a Community Technical Preview.
