Deployment to Windows Azure
Posted on June 4th, 2009
Here goes my first real deployment. The first thing you’ll notice is that you no longer need an application id. It looks like that was there for live authentication and so it has been decoupled for those not needing it by default.
To deploy you just upload the application package and service configuration file. By the way, just right click your worker role project and pick Publish to generate your files. Once uploaded, you get this cool staging/production screen.
Once uploaded you can change the configuration xml via the browser which is great! I’m about the hit run and see what happens …
Staging worked perfectly. I can’t find a way to view logs so I’m going to promote it to production next. As a test the service emails me the logs, so I can see it all working.
The promotion seemed to work however I did get a system error from the website. I will say this – the site needs some work, it is pretty slow and bulky. Come on MS make it fly! :)
