    Is there a limit to the size of cspkg file that can be deployed?  We’re trying to deploy our service and received this error:

    The size of the package is 644960571 bytes, which is too large to be deployed.

    The maximum package size that can be deployed is 600 MB (600 * 1024 * 1024 bytes).

    Anything that can be moved to Windows Azure Storage and retrieved from there, instead of deployed as part of the package, ought to be separated out. A big component of the time required to spin up a new instance is the time required to get the package there; contents will come from Windows Azure Storage "on demand" much faster.
