Azure SDK 1.3: Error on Web Role Publish…
If you get this error:
-
Azure Deployment - Be careful adding a Remote Desktop connection to deployments that you want to swap staging with live…
Adding Remote Desktop capability adds an external endpoint onto the deployment, meaning it may have more endpoints that your current live deployment. When there is a difference in the number of endpoints between a staging and live deployment, you can’t swap them in the Azure portal. Oops.

Thoughts on Azure – Compute, Storage and SQL
I think Azure is ready to go as a platform for a Software as a Service platform. When we think of cloud-based infrastructures, it has many pieces that make it both viable and attractive from many points of view. For one, it’s hooked tightly into a great development tool in Visual Studio 2010, and the latest SDK and Tools make it a simply process to publish to the cloud directly from the IDE.

Configuration, System.Diagnostics and Medium Trust
In the past, I have widely used, and been a fan of, TextWriterTraceListener and EventLogTraceListener configured via the web.config in order to output diagnostics information from a web app or site. These things have been there since .Net 1, so our main library of code has hooks into System.Diagnostics. We even implemented a messaging aspect to this so that certain critical errors would trigger an SMTP message to us. This has been invaluable in determining what is happening with a site as content changes, or something happens that we need to take action on before a complaint comes in. (Who am I kidding – this is how we find out about bugs that got missed for whatever reason).
