How to run a Delphi 6 executable on Windows Azure cloud platform (need tutorial/sample)? -
i've been reading on windows azure cloud services lately. problem i'm running microsoft documentation very visual studio centric. second main source of tutorials/samples based on php azure environment. neither of use case scenarios fits needs. have rough idea of configuration files , packages involved creating image compatible azure vm, don't want waste lot of time figuring out exact syntax/setup needed simple delphi 6 exe waits http requests on port , returns documents without of iis. believe app classified of worker role providing http endpoint.
can point me simple tutorial can show me how without bringing vs, iis, or php azure discussion?
any tips/docs on being able remote desktop access in scenario appreciated too, if it's possible use rdp in case.
if want run custom executable, afaik have 2 options:
- create worker role, , "run" custom exe c# code. can run
process.start. need (or doing example) have executable on our blob storage , download on worker role start. need visual studio though. keep in mind, underlying machine still classic windows server 2008 (or r2) machine can save things in local storage etc. - create vm role - have blog post coming on how that, in general, have base image; classic windows server installation, , it's run in cloud. can setup services, etc. , servers run on start. each time provision new instance, copy of vhd deployed , started.
important: in both of these case, do not have state. means logs, etc., lost if not sync them sort of permanent storage (e.g. blob storage).
i opt option #1. if need more info, let me know, i'll happy if can.
edit: forgot mention, store our custom log data in vhd mounted drive that's stored on blob storage - gives application feeling it's writing standard disk.
