Publishing time

Question

Hi,

I have published the web role in azure. Again when i publish without any changes it takes more time. How long it will take normally to publish the web role? While publishing, site was not getting affected, how site works that time? 

Answer 1

 Hi,
 
 There are 2 ways to push your project to the cloud. Publish or Package.
 Publish usually takes time due to various factors like network latency and traffic.
 the other option to Upload the Package (.cscfg and .cspkg) are uploaded directly from the Management portal and is much faster. The package approach is best practice as the deployment method since you can maintain a backup too.
 refer to the following link: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-how-to-manage/
 
 You site will not be down as long as the SLA requirement of atleast 2 instances are met.

Hi Nithin,

I actually pushed my project to cloud through publish concept. During publish, my application is not running. Reason why am going publish instead of package is time. Package takes more time. 

Why my application is not running during publish? Do you have any idea?
