To deploy the .NET cloud computing application, you need to log into the Windows Azure Management Portal, with steps as follows:
-
Open http://www.windowsazure.com in your browser, and click PORTAL on the top right corner.
-
After jumping to the logon page, input the correct account and password to enter the Windows Azure Management Portal.
-
After successful logon, upload the certificate first and then deploy the application.
In the section called “Developing .NET cloud computing application”, you have created or selected a certificate in Step 6, for encrypting the login credentials for the remote desktop connection. Now you will need to upload this certificate.
In the Windows Azure Management Portal, select Management Certificates on the left menu bar, and then upload the certificate file.
In the section called “Developing .NET cloud computing application”, you have packaged the application into two files in Step 8. Now you will need to deploy these two files.
In the Windows Azure Management Portal, click Hosted Services on the left menu bar, and then follow the wizard to deploy the files.
After the deployment, the virtual machine instance is automatically created. Then you will need to enable the remote access to the virtual machine instance in the Windows Azure Management Portal. After that, you can log into the Windows Azure virtual machine via the remote desktop connection, just like how to log into an ordinary PC.
