Azure Web Sites Secrets, Exposed

• Introduction/who I am

Azure is Huge

• This talk is just going to aim at Web Sites and some of the nooks and crannies of that
• What is Web Sites really?
  • Just IIS and Kudo
    • Prove it's ISS by doing a remote connection
      • url-to-scm-site:443
  • Compare to other options?
  • The only thing that really 'connects' the Kudu site to the real site is the file system, and that works regardless of what process or machine they each run on.
  • Still PAAS

Cover authentication somewhere in here?

Deployment is the Killer Feature

• Fast and flexible
• Customize SCM
• Customize Build
  • Create custom build script w/ unit tests?
• Customize Post Deployment
  • Demo a phone call?

Logging

• Lots you can do
• Leverage the existing ecosystem too

Site Extensions

• What is applicationHost.config
• Demo with applicationHost.xdt
  • Put outercurve.svg in 🏠/site/wwwroot
  • Put applicationHost.xdt in 🏠/site
• Show off compression
• Build full example to set the homepage "hero" mascot
• Mention/show samples
• Demo Analog HTTP Log Analyzer
