How can an IBM Worklight project be deployed on Windows Azure? - azure

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).

Node.js installed on your system (version >= 10.3)
Azure account
A CircleCI account
A GitHub account
Azure CLI installed on your system (version >= 10)
Then need to Set-up a virtual machine on Azure to run Node.js.

Is there any alternative service like in Amazon Appstream2.0 and Amazon Workspace in Azure

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

How to Create cloud service with Ubuntu OS on Microsoft azure

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.

How to create publishing profile for azure virtual machine?

How to create publishing profile for a website running on azure virtual machine?
I know how to do it for Azure Web Site, but can this be done if I have IIS running on a VM in azure?
I also have a console application running using task scheduler on this VM, it would be nice to automate that deployment too.
( After working with Rails and Php frameworks, I miss the common config file used by the website and CronJob to connect to the DB)
You need to set up Webdeploy in the azure VM. it is same as an on-premises server.
Web Deploy Installation.. You need to install prerequisites - .net framework.
Configuring IIS 7 with webdeploy / Or with IIS8
Set up endpoints on azure vm to do webdeploy. Port 8172 for Webdeploy.
Then you can create a publish profile in Visual Studio 2012/13 to deploy to this endpoint.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465337(v=vs.110).aspx
or You can do it using Powershell scripts.

Window Azure vs Citrix Xenapp vs Citrix XenDesktop over Windows Azure

Current my company delivers our software to our customers through a Citrix Xenapp Server. As administrators we are able to launch instances of the servers and our customers are only able to launch their specific application
My Question is does Windows Azure also offer this type of environment. I am looking to deploy a new version of our application and I am leaning towards Azure, but if that is the direction we go in I would like to migrate all of our existing system to Azure and not maintain both Azure and Citrix ?
Or If directly not possible, then can we have alternative like
Windows Azure with Citrix XenDesktop ?
I mean Citrix has released XenDesktop 6.5 & 7. Same time Microsoft allows Guest OS which now combined will resolved the purpose ?
Will it be Virtual Desktop as a Service over Windows Azure ? Will it possible & solve the purpose ?
Yes, Citrix XenDesktop 7 can be deployed on Windows Azure, with support for features such as live session roaming, multiple device types and formats, and rich user-interface media experiences.
For the announcement refer to Citrix Enables High-Performance App and Desktop Delivery from Windows Azure.
For an explanation refer to Hosting Citrix Desktops from Windows Azure.
This ability is supported by Microsoft's RDS (Remote Desktop Services) Subscriber Access Licensing (SAL) available for Azure. For more information about licensing refer to this blog article: Remote Desktop Services are now allowed on Windows Azure and also to the latest Microsoft Product Use Rights docs.
