Azure deployment

[rsanford]

Could anyone that has successfully deployed a uniGUI ISAPI dll to Azure please provide the steps and example that you used to create the package and service definition schema? I'd like to deploy my app to an Azure web role instead of VM but having a difficult time doing it.

 

Thanks!

What are details of your setup?

For curiosity I signed up for an Azure cloud a few hours ago and I could set up one of our demos successfully.

In general there is no difference between Azure Cloud and any other VPS.

 

I chose Windows Server 2008 R2 as my OS.

Hi Farshad,

I understand the proces to deploy to a Azure VPS/VM, which is basically direct access to a server and configure ISAPI module on IIS.

I would like to try to deploy to an Azure cloud service - web role. Azure manages the instance for you such as OS patches and security updates. The web role is basically IIS except that you don't need direct RDP access to configure the server. The web application (ISAPI, ASP.NET, etc.) is packaged and uploaded to the web role instead. I understand that ISAPI applications can be packaged in a cloud services package, just cannot figure it out and thought someone might have already been succeeded.

Hi Farshad,

 

Same as rsanford for me: I can easily use an Azure VM, no problem.

But I would like to deploy my ISAPI dll directly to an "Azure Web Role", using Visual Studio package (or something like that).

 

I didn't find usable explanations on how to do that from Delphi world...

 

Thanks a lot.

I'm not sure, but it seems that those options are only valid when you deploy a dot net application.
