I've been curious about Azure and cloud computing since Microsoft started rolling out this initiative last year, and I've trying to understand how experienced .NET developers could put this technology to work. In a series of interesting blog posts, Microsoft Developer Evangelist Maor David-Pur answers these questions and provides a concrete, step-by-step example.
The first blog in the series is entitled "Creating and Executing First Cloud Project with Windows Azure." Here, David-Pur walks through a brief description of Azure, explains the prerequisites for its use, and then jumps right into the real meat: an annotated series of screenshots that show how to find and use Azure-based project templates in Visual Studio. He takes a standard ASP.NET Web application and modifies it to work with Azure, then sets up a cloud-based Web service to match. He concludes with an illustration of the Azure development fabric.
The second blog in the series is shows how to deploy an Azure project to the cloud. Here, David-Pur takes the ASP.NET application he created in the first blog and walks readers through the steps necessary to host it on Azure. He begins with a login to the Windows Azure Services Developer Portal and the creation of a new Hosted Service Project. Next the project gets a label, a description, and a name, after which it becomes both visible and usable as a service. Next, he walks through the steps involved in deploying the project from Visual Studio to the cloud, after which it's possible to deploy it to a staging server and ultimately to a production server. You can try out his Azure sample application yourself ...
