Windows Azure Usage Experience

This article just makes a record of the superficial use of Windows Azure, which is a simple primer.

First, the portal site

Windows Azure actually has two versions, what we say or use in the country is different from the international version, the main reason I think you also know, after all, where the data storage is more sensitive. Of course, two versions of the services provided are also different, mainly international version of the service is more, more comprehensive, and update is also the most timely, which we can see from its official website:

The international version of Windows Azure is http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/

　　

Domestic version of the official website for http://www.windowsazure.cn/

The domestic version has two data centers, presumably should be in Mordor (northern China) and the Royal Park (east China)

　　

With so much to say, where is the portal for Windows Azure? is the "portal" (upper right corner), click to enter (you will be prompted to enter the user name password)

Second, the development environment

With the account password, in fact you can do all the operations on the portal, such as the creation of Web sites, virtual machines, storage, etc., but as a developer, involved in the code and database aspects, I believe or to start from the local. So here's a brief look at the software development environment.

• Install Visual Studio Ultimate with Update 4
• Installing SQL Server Management Studio 2014
• Install the Windows Azure SDK
• Read developer Considerations for Azure applications in China

This is the VS2013 interface after successful installation and you will see Azure options

Third, import subscriptions

In order not to enter the account credentials each time, we can import the Azure subscription, the steps are simple, enter the URL https://manage.windowsazure.cn/publishsettings/index, automatically download the subscription file, my "1 RMB Trial Subscription -3-30-2015-credentials.publishsettings "

The usage instructions on the above site are for a specific release project only, if you need global configuration can refer to the following settings: Right click on Azure, Pop-up menu select Manage Subscription

Switch to the Last tab and select Import

Click Browser to find the previously downloaded file and click Import.

IV. Website Development

Here's how to create a site from the portal and how to create a site locally and publish it to the Azure cloud

Portal Creation site is simple, follow the wizard configuration

Enter the name of the site you want in the URL, select the area according to the actual situation, then click "Create"

　　

We click on the website to see

Other pages I will not show, if you are interested can directly try, its function is quite strong, not only the instrument panel, monitor, can also be arbitrarily configured, custom work, and even the scale of the site, backup has.
