Azure Cloud Service (extended support) deployment provider

Azure Cloud Service (extended support) deployment provider has been released to production.

Just a reminder, Azure Cloud Service (classic) deployments must be migrated to Azure Cloud Service (extended support) before August 31, 2024.

Azure Cloud Service (extended support) provider documentation

Some notable differences of “extended support” provider from “classic”:

  • .cscfg file: <NetworkConfiguration> section must be added.
  • .csdef file: Small, Medium, Large, etc. machine sizes must be changed to Standard_* sizes from “Standard” tier.
  • There are no “Staging” and “Production” deployments slots anymore - multiple cloud services must be deployed instead.
  • Deployment storage for cloud service packages (.cspkg) could be both “classic” and “general purpose” - migrate to ARM-based “general purpose” at any time after migration.
  • RDP is configured in deployment provider settings. RDP configuration in .csdef and .cscfg is ignored and can be safely deleted.
  • WAD diagnostics is configured in deployment provider settings. WAD configuration in .cscfg is ignored and can be safely deleted. “Diagnostics config” in provider settings is <PublicConfig> node of diagnostics.wadcfgx of cloud service project.
  • SSL certificate is stored in Azure Key Vault.

Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks, AppVeyor Team
