Video Introduction: Windows Azure Web Sites – Start for free, enjoy unlimited possibilities

  1. This post is about Azure Web Sites.
    • Get started for free and scale as you go
    • Azure Web Sites is a cloud platform across shared and reserved instances for greater isolation and performance.
    • Use any tool or OS to build a web site with ASP.NET, PHP or Node.js and deploy in seconds.
    • It’s easy to deploy web sites to the cloud as-is.
      • If your site is built with ASP.NET, PHP or Node.js, it will run on Windows Azure Web Sites.
    • Get a head start using open source
      • Launch a site with a few clicks using popular open source apps like WordPress, Joomla!, Drupal, DotNetNuke and Umbraco.
    • Take advantage of integrated source control
      • With Windows Azure Web Sites you can deploy directly from your source code repository.
      • Simply ‘git push’ from the Git repository of your choice or connect your Team Foundation Service projects and enjoy continuous source integration.
      • Automated deployment has never been so easy.
