Is it possible to generate a build of a .NET App hosted on an Azure instance?

Current App and website environment;
ASP.NET app written in C# hosted on a Windows web server and linked to from a site hosted on a SharePoint 2010 server.
Purpose of App;
Download link calls a downloader that generates a custom signed build of the app and logs the download to a SharePoint list.
Site has been redesigned and migrating to SharePoint 2013, looking at a provider-hosted solution for the ASP.NET app and I was wondering if it is possible to generate a build with/on an Azure solution.
Thanks!
Yes is possible.
The only thing which you have remember is add in your App a clientWebPart. And configure it with url to your asp.net site.
Because when you add your app in page, you must go add how Client App Part or WebPart.

Web deploy 2.0 vs. Web Farm Framework 2.0

After reading Scott Gu's newest post, I wondered how Web Deploy and Web Farm Framework are different?
Web deploy is how the applications (websites) and server configurations are synchronised between different machines in the farm.
The farm itself is created and managed by WFF - ergo it's not an either/or: WFF relies on Web deploy for part of it's synchronising operation.
In the WebDeploy article ScottGu has stated the below which should clear the confusion:
"Web Deploy can be used together with the Microsoft Web Farm Framework to enable automated deployment across a web-farm. You can install and configure Web Deploy on a primary server in a Web Farm Framework cluster – and the secondary servers within the web farm cluster will then monitor and clone any applications you deploy with it."
So basically, use WebDeploy to update your primary server in the cluster and the WFF will then replicate the same across the entire cluster.
