Windows Azure Web Sites

5.
Web Sites in SecondsStart Simple Your way Go Livestart free, scale up and out with asp.net, php or deploy live in seconds,as you go, friction-free node.js, develop on easily monitorand without the headaches Windows, OSX or performance, rapidly Linux diagnose and fix issues

Architecture

8.
Web Sites are not in IIS until a request comes in!

9.
Load balancerLayers 1st layer: Windows Azure load balancer 2nd layer: IIS + ARRARR “Reverse proxy” Verifies hosting database (plans, quotas, …) Negotiates best node to run your site on Site not used much? Put it on a highly loaded machine

10.
Web servers%SYSTEM32%inetsrvconfigapplicationHost.config is taken out of the loop SQL Azure No refreshing of all app pools when file is savedStorage “File share” hosted on other machines Using “WA drive” on blob storageDynamic website activation service Verifies runtime database (plans, quotas, …) Site not used for a while? Remove it from the server

11.
1st request (cold site) Web Worker IIS ARR (LB) Azure Runtime Other LB DB databases Storage Controller

12.
xth request (hot site) Web Worker IIS ARR (LB) Azure LB Other databases Storage Controller

13.
Your app not being used for a while?

14.
Provisioning, publishing, meteringProvisioning and publishing Storage and database != launching a website on web farmMetering By web servers once a site is loaded Reported back to runtime database

15.

What I find awesome…Windows Azure Web Sites runs on Windows Azure Cloud ServicesARR nodes are in fault/update domainsWeb Workers are in fault/update domainsStorage nodes are in fault/update domainsData is on SQL AzureFiles are on blob storage

24.
Log streamingAll logs from the LogFiles/Application folderOr configure it when querying: azure log tail <site> -p httpSettings DIAGNOSTICS_LASTRESORTFILE -> file to log to when diagnostics go wrong DIAGNOSTICS_LOGGINGSETTINGSFILE -> settings file (json) DIAGNOSTICS_TEXTTRACELOGDIRECTORY -> default folder DIAGNOSTICS_TEXTTRACEMAXLOGFILESIZEBYTES-> log rotation (bytes) DIAGNOSTICS_TEXTTRACEMAXLOGFOLDERSIZEBYTES -> max log size (bytes)

demoMulti-tierDeploying a specific project file

28.
Multi-tier remarks…One .deployment file per branch [config] project=MultiTier.WebApi/MultiTier.WebApi.csprojHow do I deploy all tiers in a separate website? .deployment file per branch and every tier in a branch or customize the build

29.
Customizing the build processCheck https://github.com/projectkudu/kudu/wiki/Deployment-hooks.deployment file [config] command=<whatever command>Write in batch file, bash script, PHP, JavaScript, …

30.
demoCustomizingdeploymentsAn introduction

31.
What can I do in scripts?A lot  (but not too much… there’s a sandbox)Environment variables: DEPLOYMENT_SOURCE DEPLOYMENT_TARGET DEPLOYMENT_TEMP MSBUILD_PATH + everything you feed it through the management portal

32.
demoCustomizingdeploymentsSample deployment script

33.
Great… but why?We’ve seen the multi-tier scenarioWe can download stuff (NuGet package restore, pull in external Git reposbefore build)We can run stuff (msbuild, nuget.exe, curl, php, node, …)

34.
