Answer 4

Hi swetha9,

Thank you for your post.

Seems you are using TFS preview now, and there is a wondows azure project inlocal, you want to know whether could use tfs preview to deploy this local project to windows azure. If I have misunderstood anything, please free feel to let me know.

As you know, there is a workaround "DeployToAzure" in ColdePlax, is discribe how to deploy project to windows azure through TFS 2010. The key information is install some SDK on build server, install a certificate in build server. Add .dlls and build template to version control is not a problem.

TFS azure have two build system, configure build service in local, use build service in cloud.

If you configure local build system, build server is in local, of couse, you can install SDK, certificate on local build server. Local build support deploy project to windows azure.

If you use build in cloud, whether the SDK have installed on the Hosted build controller is not known. Create certificate and install it to the build server in cloud is a problem.

So, you may try to configure local build system to deploy project to windows zure.

Best regards,
