Common questions for Windows Azure and Kentico CMS
Speaker: Kentico Cloud and SaaS Development Group
Register me
Scenario
I need to run my brand new website using
Kentico CMS. The will be hosted in Windows
Azure cloud. I decided to use PaaS (cloud
services) because:
- I don‘t have any legacy components
- I want to have as much control as I can but I
still don‘t want to maintain operating system
Development
• Which project type should I use for
development of my website?
• Coding best practices (APIs, Customizations,
…)
• Adding production data into my website
(content, images, …)
• Where to store files (database vs. filesystem)?
• How to achieve best performance?
Configuration
• Conversion of project to Azure
• Choosing webfarm notification mechanism
• Choosing session state storage provider
• Where should I put configuration files?
Deployment and maintenance
• How should I deploy?
• Remote desktop configuration
• Staging vs. production
• Windows Azure dashboard
• Don‘t be afraid to ask
Summary
• Start development with website
• Always use CMS.IO for accessing file system
• Store files in file system
• Store configuration in service definition files
• Accelerate your web using CDN and output
caching
• Configure remote desktop for live
deployments
Thank you
