Automate Creating, Developing and Deploying Azure Websites

摘要

Microsoft Azure is a quick and easy way to create and deploy Web sites or APIs for your cloud consumers. Much has been written on different aspects of Azure Websites, including security, deployment and so on. It's always a challenge to bring this information into a real-life implementation. In this article, I've pulled together these various facets to help you quickly create a production-ready Azure Website. I'll walk you through the end-to-end lifecycle of creating, deploying, configuring and monitoring an Azure Website. I'll start by creating a Web site with Visual Studio 2013 and deploy it to Azure. Then I'll set up continuous integration from my source code repository to Azure, establishing authentication using the API key or certificates. Finally, I'll show how to create and deploy the site to a production environment using Windows PowerShell.
