You can follow and interact with the show at @CloudCoverShow. In this episode, Nathan Totten—Technical Evangelist for Windows Azure—talks to Steve about using the Windows Azure Accelerator for Web Roles to quickly and easily deploy one or more websites across multiple Web Role instances using Web Deploy. When using this accelerator with Web Deploy, deployments only take about 30 seconds and are durably stored in Windows Azure storage.

Just a correction - Wade's video was done in 1994, so he was probably 15. That makes it pre-Claw. lol

Keep up the good work!

Okay, so maybe I was slightly off when I said Wade was in his twenties. Smiley

Thanks for sharing the video!

It seems like a waste of a compute instance for something that won't be used all that often.

Edit: I watched a little bit further, and I think I have a better understanding of this. Does (or could) the WAAWR web application share the same web role instance with all the websites that it manages and deploys?

Sucked how it took ages every time you had to deploy a role in Azure

Still have issues around setting up DNS for all the websites. Any pointers?

Similarly the deployment of web sites where we supply the Remote Desktop credentials, does this require securing?

You would just configure SSL like any regular web role. You may want to put the admin portal on a port other than 443 though otherwise you will not be able to use a different cert for any host sites on the accelerator. The other option is to use a cert with multiple domains.

You should also use SSL when doing webdeploy to secure your credentials as well. This should work by default.
