Azure SDK and .NET 4.52 - azure

I am not sure if I download Azure SDK 2.7 will it let me target .NET 4.5.2? Currently I have Azure SDK 4.5 and it does not let me publish when I have a worker role targeting 4.5.2.
Thanks

Worker roles currently do not support .NET 4.5.2 without manual installation.
You can either set up VM access to install .NET 4.5.2 onto the worker role's underlying VM or look at usin a powershell script to install it when your application starts up.
See proof in release notes for SDK 2.6 and instructions to how install .NET on cloud services here.

Azure SDK's currently only allow you to target 4.5.1 in PaaS services. Azure SDK v2.5 and on is able to to target 4.5.2 but only if it is a VM instance

.net core v3 beta on azure

Is it possible at this time (end of February, 2019) to deploy a .net core v3 beta backend to azure? I'd like to update some of my play stuff to .net core v3, but I only use it via azure I'm specifically looking at an azure web app that is currently running windows.
TIA.
You can install the runtime as an App Service extension. Look for "ASP.NET Core 3.0 (x86/x64) Runtime"

Updating Azure Cloud Service to OS family 6

I am using Azure DevOps to deploy a .Net Web Application. I wanted to update to the new Os Family which is based on Windows 2019 so i can Update my projects to .net framework version 4.7.2 as seen here. I have updated my cloud service configuration '.cscfg' file to osFamily="6" but when i try to deploy the app even though the Build succeeds i get this error when i reach the Release step in Azure pipeline:
The OS family 6 you are trying to deploy is not supported by the SDK package. The SDK package supported OS families:3,4,5,1,2,98,97. Please try to deploy to a different operating system. To do this specify a different osFamily and/or osVersion in your .cscfg file.
I am using the Hosted VS2017 agent.
According to the error information it indicates that the OS family 6 are not supported by Hosted VS2017 agent.
Based on the link you mentioned that Compatible SDK versions should be Version 2.9.6+.
So my workaround is that you could use the Self-host agent with latest Azure SDK installed. We could download the latest Azure SDK from this link.
or you could have a try to install the Azure SDK on the Host 2017 agent (without test)
You also could give your feedback to Azure Devops team.

Error publishing to Azure cloud service with osFamily=5

I am trying to update a cloud service to use .NET 4.6. I changing the osFamily="4" to osFamily="5" in the .cscfg file as specified here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-guestos-update-matrix
Looking at my file system I have this SDK version installed:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Azure.NET SDK\v2.9
Looking at Web PI, I have these installed:
VS Community 2105 with Azure SDK - 2.9.6
VS Community 2105 with Azure SDK - 3.0
Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2015) - 2.9.6
Microsoft Azure SDK for .NET (VS 2015) - 3.0
I normally use Powershell cmdlets to deploy using New-AzureDeployment/Set-AzureDeployment from a build & deployment server. I will occasionally deploy from my desktop using powershell for testing.
If I leave the osFamily="4" unchanged and deploy with Powershell everything works as expected.
If I use VS2015 and the Publish Azure Application tool to do the deployment it succeeds as expected if I choose either osFamily="4" or osFamily="5".
Checking which module is used:
C:\> (Get-Command Set-AzureDeployment).Module.Path
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Azure\3.8.0\Azure.psm1
Running the deployment Set-AzureDeployment (given an existing package has been deployed) gives me the following error -
Set-AzureDeployment : BadRequest : The OS family 5 you are trying to deploy is not supported by the SDK package. The SDK package supported OS families:3,4,1,2,98. Please try to deploy to a different operating system. To do this specify a different osFamily and/or osVersion in your .cscfg file.
I don't see which SDK "package" the commandlet is complaining about...any ideas?
Try using a newer version of the 2.9 Azure Authoring Tools.
I reproduced this problem with Azure Authoring Tools 2.9.1, but remedied it by upgrading to version 2.9.5.3. Actually it's mentioned as fixed in the release notes for Azure '3.0' SDK (download link):
Visual Studio now supports deploying Cloud Services to OS Family 5
(Windows Server 2016) virtual machines. For existing cloud services,
you can change your settings to target the new OS Family. When
creating new cloud services, if you choose to create the service using
.net 4.6 or higher, it will default the service to use OS Family 5.
For more information, you can review the Guest OS Family support
table.

Windows Azure SDK 2.0 missing in cloud service?

We just upgraded from the Windows Azure 1.7 SDK to 2.0.
This created a lot of problems in the codebase, but we got them ironed out and running locally.
Now when we try to publish to our cloud service machine in Azure, the worker role keeps trying to run but can't start.
My guess is that the cloud service machine is missing the 2.0 SDK.
Is there some way to install this manually on the remote machine? I can RDP and I've been looking around, but I can't seem to a) Verify which version it's trying to use and b) How to install a newer SDK.
I've found some errors about the worker role not running, but they're pretty uninformative.
The solution ended up being pretty simply, but I imagine other people will run into this problem.
We had 5-7 projects all referencing Azure SDK 1.8. Specifically these libraries:
Microsoft.ServiceBus
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Configuration
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Diagnostics
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRunTime
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient
If the project is a cloud service project, you need to right click on the project, go to properties, and upgrade the project. This changes the deployment when publishing. It will create the Azure VM based on the cloud service Azure SDK version. I missed that at first.
All the libraries above need to be upgraded to SDK 2.0 in all projects. Initially I missed some projects that were dependencies - and missing the Microsoft.ServiceBus library.
The last part was moving from Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient to Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage. I guess for SDK 2.0 they changed the library name, which has also introduced some breaking code changes.
After all that the cloud service now publishes correctly. Whew.

Can i manage old web role with new azure sdk?

I already have my azure web role running in cloud using azure sdk 1.6. I want to use sdk 1.7 to try new features. If i install sdk 1.6, can i still manage my old web role?
Windows Azure SDK 1.7 is side by side compatible with Windows Azure SDK 1.6. When you install the SDK and use it to create an application you will be give a chance to choose which SDK you want as below:
On 64bit Windows machine, new SDK 1.7 is installed here:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Azure\.NET SDK\2012-06
This way you can manage your previous Windows Azure SDK 1.6 based code and try and use new Windows Azure SDK 1.7 based features side by side.
You sure can keep running your Windows Azure Web Role with Windows Azure SDK 1.6 however if you decided to upgrade it to Windows Azure 1.7 based Web Role, then you just need to follow the same steps as you do to any other SDK update.
