Failed to upload Azure Service Fabric package to Azure - azure

Question

I cannot upload an ASF package to a remote Azure Image Store. The process fails using the following script at 53.8% with 0/6 replicated files (0/0% complete).
I cannot also publish to a remote cluster using Visual Studio. As I get the following error:
WARNING: Failed to contact Naming Service. Attempting to contact Failover
Are there any alternative ways of pushing up an application? The Azure Service Fabric on Azure experience just isn't working for me and I've wasted days on it.
Thanks in advance!
