I have a PHP application which runs on Ubuntu.
I am looking for Cloud service on Azure which has Ubuntu OS so I can deploy my application over there.
I am able to find WAMP (Windows + Apache + My SQL + PHP) Cloud service on Azure but I am looking for LAMP (Linux + Apache + My SQL + PHP).
Appreciate for Any help.
I assume you're talking about Azure Virtual Machines rather than Azure Cloud Services, which are two different compute options. You can check this article to get the details about the different compute options on Azure. Cloud Services are a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) concept and only run on Windows Server. Azure Virtual Machines are basically hosting of VMs and these come in both Linux and Windows Server.
You can find ready-made Ubuntu-based VM images containing the LAMP stack in the Azure Marketplace or you can check the VM Depot, which contains community-provided VM images.
Alternatively, you can prep your own Virtual Machine and save it as a VM image, which you can then use to create new VMs off of it.
Azure Cloud Services (worker and web roles) are Windows only. Virtual Machines can be Windows or Linux.
However, if you are just looking to host your web front end you could use an Azure Web App (previously named Azure Websites) which has first class support for PHP, but the underling OS is still Windows.
In addition to the answer from Nick Trough you might want to try an ARM Template, e.g. https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/b1908e74259da56a92800cace97350af1f1fc32b/lamp-app
This allows you to deploy a simple LAMP server (like marketplace or VM Depot) but has the added benefit of providing the configuration as an ARM Template (i.e. code) so you can easily modify it.

I am trying to search for an alternative of Amazon Appstream2.0 and Amazon Workspace(DAAS) in Azure. Those services in Amazon really provide the solution for remote purpose but I am really handy with azure. If I can get the solution in azure I can move to azure for the solution.
I believe there is no native service similar to Amazon Appstream2.0 in Azure.
Cloud compare also doesn't show any alternatives:
EDIT:
As #Pradyumna mentioned substitute of Amazon Workspace in Azure Cloud could be Window Virtual Desktop(WVD).
Here's what you can do when you run Windows Virtual Desktop on Azure:
Set up a multi-session Windows 10 deployment that delivers a full Windows 10 with scalability
Virtualize Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise and optimize it to run in multi-user virtual scenarios
Provide Windows 7 virtual desktops with free Extended Security Updates
Bring your existing Remote Desktop Services (RDS) and Windows Server desktops and apps to any computer
Virtualize both desktops and apps Manage
Windows 10, Windows Server, and Windows 7 desktops and apps with a unified management experience
can anyone help me with Microsoft Azure cloud service and Virtual machine connection? My nodejs app is running live on VM but not outside virtual machine. How can I deploy nodejs app to my cloud service using virtual machine?
Note : I have added endpoints as well. Please help. Thanks
All I did now is used port forwarding using endpoints in azure. Secondly I ran the nodejs app locally on VM, it is now accessible outside VM as well using VM's public IP address. Now I dont use cloud service anymore since there is no need. Thanks everyone
When we create a virtual machine in Azure manage portal From Gallery, after selecting image and VM size, it will ask us for creating a new cloud service or selecting an exist cloud service to contain the VM.
So when you create a new one, you can put it into an exist cloud service you want.
But once the VM created, we can’t move it to other cloud service.
However, we can capture your exist VM with node.js application and environment. Then you can create a new VM using this image into the destination cloud service without redeploy environment and applications.
For more information, we can see at Capture an image of a Windows virtual machine created with the classic deployment model and How to Capture a Linux Virtual Machine to Use as a Template
First of all, I have never used Amazon EC2 neither Windows Azure. But I have a task to move application from EC2 to Azure. App is a REST api written in node.js. Currently I know that there is one EC2 instance with ubuntu with runing app on it. App is deployed to server/instance using tool called Capper. App uses some database and redis. This api is used by mobile clients.
My question is what is the simplest way to move app from EC2 to Azure and what type of service to use on Azure for hosting such app?
You will need to either deploy a Linux-based VM in Azure's "Virtual Machines". Check this article out for assistance: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/tutorials/getting-started/
Alternatively, you can deploy a node.js app on Windows Azure Websites, by adding a new "Web site" thru the management portal, and pick the node.js template from the gallery of predefined templates.

How do I deploy an IBM worklight project on Windows Azure?
Worklight works on Windows.More details available at the link below.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27024838
To my knowledge IBM worklight only works on Linux. This means you'll need to exclude Windows Azure Web Sites and Windows Azure Cloud Services (Web Roles, Worker Roles, VM Roles).
The only way to run Linux in Windows Azure is by using Windows Azure Virtual Machines (IaaS). The deployment of IBM worklight on Windows Azure Virtual Machines will be similar to a deployment on Amazon EC2. Follow this guide, but instead of creating the VM in Amazon EC2, create it in Windows Azure (by using the gallery for example).
I am new to Microsoft windows azure cloud and want to run my node.js app in azure cloud. I read the windows azure Node.js Developer Center site ( https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/ ) and it seems my app can run in azure cloud multiple ways.
Which azure option is good for my node.js app if i want to deploy quick with less azure knowledge?
If you are new to Windows Azure but knowledgeable a Node.js developer, you sure can use Windows Azure to write your Node.js application.
You have following choices:
Windows Azure Websites (Preview) –
FREE only if shared and if RESERVED there is some cost associated with it
Great if you are a Linux or Mac User
Your node.js application will run on Windows Server Farm
You can use git to deploy your Node.js Application
Windows Azure Cloud Services
Ideal for applications that separate logic into multiple tiers using both Web and Worker Roles
It is a PAID service
You can use PowerShell to deploy directly from a Windows Machine
Your Node.js application will runs on Windows Server 2008 OS
You will have capability to RDP your Windows Azure VM.
Windows Azure Virtual Machines (Preview)–
This way you can create run your node.js application on a Microsoft Windows or Linux (Suse, CentOS, Ubuntu) machines or upload your own Linux VM already fully installed with Node.js application
With Windows machine, you can RDP to your machine and install your Node.js application
With Linux machine you can use Putty to connect your Linux Machine on command like and then install your application and other packages
Currently even with Preview mode, there is some price associated with it
As you are new to Windows Azure, I would suggest you to give a try using FREE Windows Azure Websites Shared because this way you really don’t need to learn a lot about Windows Azure and you can start running your application instantly. This could be the easiest method among above 3 options and then you can jump to other by just migrating your application If needed.
IF you decide to use Cloud Service, you can use Cloud9 IDE to publish your Node.js application directly to Windows Azure Cloud Services in your subscription.
You can find a decision tree here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/jj991974.aspx
What are the options you're considering? I can think of two: "cloud services" or "web sites." The latter is probably the easier and cheaper option, assuming you're building a web app. The former gives you full-blown VMs backing your app, on which you can run anything (including "workers" that process data in the background or apps that communicate via web sockets or even raw TCP). It's more powerful, but it's also more difficult to use, slower to deploy, and costs more money than a shared "web site."
Sign up for the Windows Azure 90-day free trial https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial/
Login into the Portal at: https://manage.windowsazure.com
Click the Virtual Machines tab then click Create a Virtual Machine to create a Windows VM.
On the slide-out panel, select Quick Create then specify your DNS Name, Image [Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1], Administrator Password, Size [Small (1 core, 1.75GB Memory)], Location (West US). Finish by clicking the Create Virtual Machine button.
Once provisioning is complete, you can connect to your VM via Remote Desktop Protocol by clicking the Connect button on the toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
Be sure to install a modern browser like Firefox to avoid the annoying default security settings of IE then proceed to download and install the node-js msi like you would on your desktop.
Happy hacking!
The fastest way to get started is to use Windows Azure Web Sites. You get a web site that is already configured to run node.js. You merely use ftp or git commands to push your code to the drop folder for your site.
You can use a Mac, PC, or Linux as your development machine. This tutorial (using a mac) shows the fastest way to get started: https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/nodejs/tutorials/create-a-website-(mac)/
