16 Demo

17 Running on Azure Create a new website The Choice for Leaders in Digital

18 Things to know You need to setup an Azure account! A specific cloud enabled license is required Mirroring, Workflows are not supported (yet) Add- ons must have support for SQL Azure ApplicaSons and Modules must be designed for the cloud Media should be stored in the Azure BLOB storage (to enable scaling)

19 Create an EPiServer Website h_p:// 1. Be sure you are using the latest Visual Studio Extensions (7.7+) 2. You can use either Web Forms or MVC 3. Do not install EPiServer Search (See the blog for more informason )

20 Prepare Your Site ü Upgrade the site to ü Install EPiServer.Azure

21 NOT IN THE BLOG h_p:// You can add this to the run;me sec;on or let Visual Studio do it for you <configuration>.. <runtime> <dependentassembly> <assemblyidentity name="microsoft.windowsazure.storage" publickeytoken="31bf3856ad364e35" culture="neutral"/ > <bindingredirect oldversion=" " newversion=" "/> </dependentassembly> <dependentassembly> <assemblyidentity name="episerver.applicationmodules" publickeytoken="8fe83dea738b45b7" culture="neutral"/> <bindingredirect oldversion=" " newversion=" "/> </dependentassembly>.. </runtime>.. </configuration>

22 Prepare Azure Get into Azure 1. Create a WEBSITE with a new linked DATABASE 2. Setup STORAGE (This is where the Media is stored) 3. Setup a SERVICE BUS (handles messages between the site instances) Website SQL Server Storage Service Bus

23 More Code Settings 1. Add the <blob> and <event> providers under <episerver.framework> 2. Add the connecson strings for the blob and event providers Update the Blob s AccountName and AccountKey Update the Event s connecsonstring 3. Update the EPiServerDB connecson string with the sehngs in Azure be sure keep, MulSpleAcSveResultSets=True in the connecson string. check to make sure you updated your password! 4. Remove the workflow persistence configurason I searched for, SqlWorkflowPersistenceService"

24 Deploy! 1. Import your profile and validate the connecson 2. Be sure not to Precompile 3. Select Update database > configure it by removing the Auto schema update 4. Add the script found under../packages/episerver.cms.core /tools 5. Then Publish Important The EPiServer.Cms.Core.sql script is a one- ;me schema load. So you want to remove it Re- check Auto schema update and then resave the profile once publishing is completed.

25 It Works but guess what? 1. You can t log in J 1. Run you applicason in Visual Studio 2. There is a license yelling at you! 2. Log in using your machine credensals 3. Create, at least, the WebAdmins group 4. Create a user and assign the account to the WebAdmins group A couple of other issues: a. Security b. The license issue is STILL yelling at you!

26 Set Access Rights So that you can actually use the sopware: 1. Go to CMS > Admin > Set Access Rights 2. Add the WebAdmins group to the ROOT folder with all permissions 3. Enable the Apply sehngs for all subitems flag 4. Save it. The license issue is STILL yelling at you!

27 Fix the License Issue CMS > Admin > Config > Manage Websites The license likely shows up but you need to acsvate it 1. Click on the Cloud Licenses tab 2. Find your site and click AcSvate
