Windows Azure Cloud Services (PaaS)

Windows Azure Cloud Services is Windows Azure's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering where the application environment is managed for you, allowing you to focus on your application rather than its infrastructure. In this session you will explore the ins and outs of the PaaS application model, comparing and contrasting it with the traditional application hosting model as you go.

Hands on Lab

Deploying Cloud Services
1.5 hrs – 2 hrs

In this hands-on lab you will learn how to deploy your Cloud Services in Windows Azure. The lab walks through the process using a simple application named myTODO, which is a simple list creation and management application built using ASP.NET MVC. The lab shows the steps required for provisioning the required components in the Windows Azure Management Portal, uploading the service package, and configuring the service. You will see how you can test your application in a staging environment and then promote it to production once you are satisfied that it is operating according to your expectations.
