Is it possible to deploy Websites/Cloud services using Releasemanagement

Hi,
I am trying to implement continuous integration and delivery using VSO and RM for my web sites with Sql azure. But I didn't find the way to deploy the Azure PaaS Services. Please guide me how can I achieve this.
I can deploy the website directly from VSO, but I am looking more of release path, approval process.
Thanks for the Help.

Hi Phani,
Since this thread is more related to Visual Studio Online, I will move it to the right forum for a better response. Thanks for your understanding.

Deploying the Cloud service using Windows Authentication

Hi,
I have a VPN Connectivity established to other VM Server where the DB is also installed. Now I a have created an application with DB connectivity
I am able to connect the DB server using SQL authentication but how can I connect using Windows Authentication?
What configuration changes I have to do in web.config or I have to modify any more changes else where?
Thanks & Regards,

Issues deploying a cloud service with two endpoints (HTTP and HTTPS)

I ran into an issue this week in the azure portal when I tried to deploy a cloud service with two endpoints. (I am using the azure sdk 2.2). I deployed the cloud service to production with the following endpoints in the ServiceDefinition.csdef:
<WebRole name="NameChanged.Web" vmsize="Small">
<Sites>
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn" endpointName="HttpsIn" />
<Binding name="HttpIn" endpointName="HttpIn" />
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpIn" protocol="http" port="80" />
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="NameChangedCertificate" />
</Endpoints>
<Imports>
<Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
</Imports>
<Certificates>
<Certificate name="NameChangedCertificate" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" />
</Certificates>
</WebRole>
I followed the directions here (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-configure-ssl-certificate/)
in Step 3 for deploying the cloud service to the azure portal. And HTTP worked just fine, but the HTTPS endpoint didn't work, we would get a 502 error whenever we tried to access the service via HTTPS.
We spent a lot of time to debug and see why HTTPS wasn't working, but everything we tried resulted in the same result: 502 error code when accessing the site
via HTTPS.
The only way that we were able to get HTTPS working for the cloud service in azure, was to completely delete our instance in the azure portal, and then do a two step deployment:
Step 1 - Remove the HTTP endpoint from our ServiceDefinition.csdef, like so:
<Site name="Web">
<Bindings>
<Binding name="HttpsIn"
</Bindings>
</Site>
</Sites>
<Endpoints>
<InputEndpoint name="HttpsIn" protocol="https" port="443" certificate="staging" />
</Endpoints>
</WebRole>
We then deployed the service to the azure portal. AND THE SERVICE WORKED WITH HTTPS!!!
Step 2 - We added the HTTP endpoint back into the ServiceDefinition.csdef, redeployed and both HTTP and HTTPS worked on the site.
I wanted to post this to help others that may have the same issue, and to see if anyone else has experienced this same thing? Is this an issue in the azure 2.2 SDK? This seems like a work around for getting both HTTP and HTTPS endpoints for a
cloud service, and it seems "wrong". Does anyone have a better way to do this?

Hi Tim;
This seems to be an very useful workaround thanks for sharing it. Hopefully this will come in handy for many of us.

Urgent: Is it possible to deploy a web service EAR/JAR to a container other than WebLogic?

Hi,
Is it possible to deploy an EAR/JAR created using JwsCompile to any J2EE container?
Ideally, I would like to make use of the features that are only provided by WebLogic
Workshop, like State Management, Callbacks too. If possible, what are the steps
involved?
There is an example for interoperability included in the samples that demonstrates
the use of a WebLogic Workshop web service from an ASP.NET web service, participating
in a conversation and accepting a callback. Is it possible to do the same using
a normal C# windows or webforms app instead of using an ASP.NET web service? So,
I would like to access the WebLogic workshop generated web service with state
management and callbacks from a C# windows app.
Thanks in anticipation,
August

Accessing/processing geospatial data types in Azure cloud services using Python

Hi
We are creating a cloud-services in Azure using Python and Django,
and are trying to store the geospatial data into SQL Database,
however Django doesn't not have a built-in spatial data support (unless we use GeoDjango, which doesn't support sqlserver through odbc)
scenario:
1. user saves current location, stored in column (geography/geometry type)
2. user will also do some geospatial query (intersect)
what is the preferred solutions for this? Python or .Net for azure ?

Based on what you wrote, my understanding is that you will need to craft the queries yourself no matter whether you use Python or .Net (C#). Python might appear to be a simpler approach because you can stay in the same development environment. The benefit
of the Microsoft .Net/C# approach that I can see is that both layers in your stack are then officially supported by Microsoft.

Cloud service using two machines, PC and Mac?

I know that I can use the Cloud service on two computers, one at a time. But can one be a PC and one a MAC?

Yes.
That's one of the advantages of the Cloud license over the traditional, perpetual software license.
http://www.adobe.com/au/products/creativecloud/faq.html
Are there any unique benefits that come with my paid membership?
Yes, as a member of Creative Cloud, you get many benefits that you do not get when you purchase a traditional shrinkwrapped product:
An ever-expanding membership that provides access to Adobe's latest products, services, features, and workflows as soon as they are available. You no longer have to wait 12, 18, or 24 months for the latest innovations.
Access to both the Mac OS and Windows® versions of the desktop applications and the ability to install them on your primary computer and one backup computer. So, if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, you can install your applications on both as long as they are not running at the same time.

Is it possible to call asynchronous Web Service using Adaptive WS model?

Hello,
I was trying to call asynchronous web service and after execution exception has arised
java.lang.NullPointerException

    at at.gov.bmf.demo.comp.employee.wdp.InternalEmployeeDemo.ok(InternalEmployeeDemo.java:285)
I have NWDS 7.0.
How can I set model, to avoid binding web service response to model?
Thanks.

I just ran into this issue, same exact problem.
The quick and dirty workaround I did, after trying out several other things to make sure I didn't do anything wrong to cause this problem, was to just catch the nullpointer, and then go along my merry way.
try{
     query.execute();
catch(NullPointerException e){
     //we get a worthless error here from Webdynpro, so we just ignore it. Not pretty. But unavoidable
If someone else has any other solution, I would love to hear them.
This is on NW7.0 SP15

Loading 32 dll in cloud service used to work

Hello, I have a dll which I call in my mvc app. This works locally by setting the app pool to allow 32 bit.
I had done a version of the site for azure a few years ago using Azure Tools June 2012 SP1 and was able to call the dll by setting enable32BitAppOnWin64 from a startup script.
However this does not seem to work in the current version of the tools and emulator. Has anything changed in this regard?

Hi,
Did your startup script not work after updating azure SDK? Did you receive error message? I suggest you check with below article. Please write cmd content in notepad to avoid junk character.

How to develop and deploy multiple worker roles in single azure cloud services?

I am Manikandan, From Myeasydocs.com.
We have developed our application as web projects. Now we are going to move to azure cloud services, i have successfully migrated our application in cloud services and it worked fine. I am having difficulties with back ground task. i have nearly 12
schedule tasks in our applications. I need assist on creating multiple worker role creation and deployment.
Is there is any site on explaining the worker role process in details?
Thanks in advance .. !!

Hi,
In Worker role, Applications hosted within worker roles can run asynchronous, long-running or perpetual tasks independent of user interaction or input. It is a service component that is useful for generalized development, and may perform background processing
for a web role. A worker role is frequently used for long-running tasks that are non-interactive, but you can host any type of workload.
I suggest you to follow the below article which explains about Creating and Deploying of Web Roles and Worker Roles in Azure Cloud Service using Visual Studio.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj618299.aspx
Hope this helps !

Cloud Services deployment stuck in 'The deployment is being created.' for 2 days.

Deleted the deployment. Then tried to publish to it, it was stuck in 'The deployment is being created.' then eventually the publish fails with 'The deployment allocation failed due to an internal error. Please retry later or in a different region.'.
This is the case for 2 days now.
Please fix my subscription/deployment.

Hi,
Hope the issue is resolved and you are able to Deploy the service.
If you are still facing issues, I will need more information to troubleshoot this issue.
1) How exactly are you Deploying the Cloud Service, is it using Visual Studio, Powershell or Portal.
2) Can you post a Screen-shot of the error screen.
3) What is the Size of the Package, How long Does it stay on "The Deployment is being created" before failing.
4) Are you deploying with ReservedIPs.
5) Have you tried Deploying to any other Region. It could be a Transient issue at the Data-Center backend.
6) Try deploying using other methods like Powershell or Visual studio.
If you are still facing issues, it could be a timeout issue, caused due to large package or other backend issues.
I would suggest you contact Technical support by creating a Case at
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/support/options/ Since Private/Subscription details might be required to investigate the issue.

Nithin Rathnakar.

Windows Azure Cloud Service Downtime alert

Hi,
One of the Cloud services that we have deployed on Windows Azure Cloud services using Azure Worker role is unexpectedly transitioning to Stopped state. There doesn't appear to be any valid reason behind this and it runs normally after we switch to
running state from portal.
Is it possible to develop some alert service which informs the Administrator or configured alert users that the Cloud service has shut down ? We tried to configure the Windows Azure alert but the metrics & logging doesn't seem to match with Cloud service
downtime. Please let us know what is the diagnositics or logging option which we should make use to come up an optimal design for the Alert system.
Thanks in advance,
Deepesh
Thanks & Regards, Deep

Hi,
From my experience, several operations in the Service Management API permit you to manage your cloud service either by referencing a deployment by its deployment name, or by referencing the deployment environment (staging or production) in
which the deployment is running. Refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460812.aspx for more information about Operations on Cloud Services, we can do lots of things via this API, in “Get Cloud Service Properties” section, it has a “RoleInstanceList” property, refer to
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee460806.aspx#bk_roleinstancelist for more information about
RoleInstanceList. In this article it has PersistentVMDowntime property, the detail information as following.
PersistentVMDowntime
Specifies information about when the Virtual Machine has been started and stopped.
The PersistentVMDowntime element is only available using version 2012-03-01 or higher.
Hope this helps, if this didn’t give you help, please feel free to let me know.

Azure Cloud Service Stuck in "Stopping" state for a long time (12 hours)

Does anyone have suggestions what to do with the issue I have. I tried to stop my Cloud Service the service is now basically stuck in "Stopping" State and been there over 12 hours. In my Cloud service there is 16 Virtual Machines I am using in
testing.
I tried to start Cloud Service but it also failed with error "Could not start the virtual machine deployment.".
Is there something I could do or some way to get Microsoft Support (without paying extra)? I have "Visual Studio Premium with MSDN" so i have no other support but billing from Microsoft :(

Managed to find the solution. I stopped and deallocated all the Virtual Machines. After that the Cloud Service status changed to stopped state. After that it was possible to start the Cloud Service again.

Monitor Cloud service instances

Hi,
I have two questions:
- is it possible to monitor the Cloud Service Instance past states, like when its restarted, and if this restart was from an error, in windows server i know it give the ability to create memory dump files, is this applicable in Azure, and if it is applicable
is it recommended ?
- in any way is it possible that Cloud service automatically roll bock it self and get an earlier version from the deployment, what i mean if we deployed a release 1.2 to cloud service and then after a few day we deployed release 1.4 is there any possibility
that the cloud service roll back last deployment and redeploy release 1.2 ?? consider that 1.4 release deployed and been stable for 2 -3 days.
Thanks,
Khalid Abdlqader.

Hi,
As far as I know, we could get the roll past state from azure operation logs, refer to
http://blog.ict.eu/2013/04/windows-azure-operation-logs/ for more information about the details, operation Logs is a Windows Azure Management portal feature which allows you to view historical
logs of all Create/Update/Delete (CUD) operations performed on your Azure services.
Please note, we usually define at least two instances of a role for that role running without downtime, if there are some issues in one of the role instances, Azure Fabric Controller will perform a roll back for this instance, and this issue
will be fixed automatic, details on Rollbacks can be found here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windowsazure/hh472157.aspx#RollbackofanUpdate. If we do some change to this cloud service, such as redeploy a new version application, this cloud service will running with this new version, cloud service roll back
will not let this applicaiton reback to the old version, if we only do something in azure cloud service instance, after the roll back, the changes we have made will disappear.
