The Windows Azure Experience

A few weeks ago, I embarked on a task to move one of my sites from a traditional hosting provider to Windows Azure Web Sites. I did this for a few reasons and it has nothing to do with the hosting provider.

1. I was helping out at one of Global Windows Azure Boot Camps, so I felt I should see what it’s like first hand.
2. The site I moved needed to be able to scale up on certain days/weeks.
3. I’m a geek and wanted a new “toy” to play with.

This blog post is the first in a few that will talk about the different parts of the overall “Migration”

• Part 1: Creating the Account
• Part 2: Management Portal
• Part 3: Creating the Web Site
• Part 4: Customizing the Web Site
• Part 5: The Database
• Part 6: Publishing
• Part 7: Subdomains
• Part 8: Monitoring

The “Parts” will be updated as the posts are published.
