Scenario: Web Sites

Contoso Toys maintains a number of web-based .NET and PHP applications developed in-house

Applications are developed on a rapid release cycle with weekly interim releases

The development team struggling to maintain clean dev and test environments

The inability to quickly deploy an interim release translates to lost productivity and delayed releases

In a discussion with the Contoso Toys application development team, we learned the following:

Requirements: Web Sites The application development team is looking for a solution that will

enable quick and easy deployment of interim releases of their web applications

with minimal responsibility for care and feeding of a hosting environment

with minimal expense (pay-for-what-you-use is very desirable)

IaaS or PaaS?

PaaS

IaaS

WAP: Web Sites install requires 7 servers at minimum

Pay attention to the prerequisites…they are critical Verify WinRM is enabled on other nodes from the Controller

winrm id –r:<servername>

Logging…know where to find error messages WebPI logs at %localappdata%\microsoft\web platform installer\logs\Windows Event Logs – Windows Azure Pack

Do-overs Take a snapshot before install…and another before you begin configuration To start over, apply the snaphot and delete the Hosting and ResourceMetering databases

PaaS: Notes from the Field

No Internet connection Local copy of WebPI Update manually
