I want to develop an application using appfabric composite application/model but i was unable to find any latest updates on it. Also very little help related to it is present on web thus creating a confusion that whether this feature is continued after June CTP 2011 or not ?
Is there any update going to be available in future release?
Also I have installed windows azure toolkit 1.7 and after that azure appfabric sdk1.5 but in visual studio project templates I cannot find any template for appfabric as shown in some videos.
What additional installables will I require ?
In Windows Azure, word "App Fabric" is not longer used, instead all the services which were part of "Windows Azure App Fabric *" are named completely different (Service bus, ACS, Cache * etc) specific to their objective. That why you do not see any latest documentation specific to "App Fabric" in Windows Azure. Now when App Fabric term is used specific to Windows Server specific service model.
That's another reason when you installed Windows Azure SDK 1.7 you did not see any thing specific to App Fabric at all.
I am not sure how much it will apply but you sure can take a look at "Building Hybrid Applications in the Cloud on Windows Azure - eBook" and see if that will help you.

I spent many hours trying to find some way to create a new .NET Core 3.1 web app under Windows subscription. I found that if you pick up the Runtime stack as .Net Core 3.1 (LTS) the only option is to create an app under the Linux. I tried to play with different regions and Sku and sizes as well but for all cases, it's just the same. There is no option to configure App Insight during the creation time either when using the Linux.
The interesting thing is that when I created the Web App under .net core 3.0 marked as current I was able to deploy .net core 3.1 web app and it all worked including the app insights stuff.
My question: is it just a bug in the Azure UI that you cannot create .net core 3.1 web app under Windows or there is some specific reason behind it?
This option is going to be available once the deployment of .NET Core 3.1 has been rolled out to all AppServices worldwide. So far, this is only been completed for Linux.

Windows hosted App Service option will be enabled once world wide rollout of 3.1 SDK to App Service backend is complete.
Since Windows AppServices have all required runtimes installed, you can select 3.0 and try to deploy your app regardles of what the portal says. I was able to host a WebApi in west Europe this week with .NET Core 3.1, but from what I read that might just have been luck.
Deploying a self contained version is probably also possible from what I read in the linked Github issue.
edit2:Note that the accouncement talks about the SDK. As of the writing of this post, most of the app services have the 3.1 runtime installed, while the SDK will take a while longer.
edit:
You can also check manually if your AppService has the runtimes installed already:
Go to Kudu (https://myappservicename.scm.azurewebsites.net/)
Open the Debug console (e.g. CMD)
type in dotnet --list-runtimes
I had the same problem. I could not get windows selected in Azure.
What I did was let Visual Studio create the App in my App Services. (Note the app insights!)
When this profile finished creating I went into the created App in the Azure portal. Settings - Configuration and changed the stack from 4.7 to .Net Core (Sorry this is in dutch, I hope you can manage...)
And now I also had the standard documents available which I did not have creating it in Azure portal! I changed it to only have index as landing page :
After I did this the homepage of my website showed up. Hope this helps someone!
When we deploy an ASP.CORE 3.0 on Azure we have this error:
The current .NET SDK does not support targeting .NET Core 3.0
Okay... but do you know when ASP.CORE 3.0 will be available in Azure App Service ?
Thank you
As of now its not deployed and no estimates are provided
But you should be able to do it your self
Install the preview site extension
From the Azure Portal, navigate to the App Service.
Select the web app.
Type "ex" in the search box to filter for "Extensions" or scroll down the list of management tools.
Select Extensions.
Select Add.
Select the ASP.NET Core {X.Y} ({x64|x86}) Runtime extension from the list, where {X.Y} is the ASP.NET Core preview version and {x64|x86} specifies the platform.
Select OK to accept the legal terms.
Select OK to install the extension.
The channel to get the best information about Azure Updates is:
https://github.com/Azure/app-service-announcements
But until now nothing has been posted there.
The MS Dev-Blog https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-net-core-3-0/ is saying that
Azure App Service deployment of .NET Core 3.0 is currently ongoing.
So I suggest you set up a watch on the github repo above to get notified once the work is done.
Work is in progress and will be available in some time. But No ETA at this point.
Having being unsuccessful to find a decent resource I am finally asking it over here. I have a legacy .Net Frmework Windows Service (which is now migrated to .Net Framework 4.7.2) which I want to eventually migrate to Azure PaaS. After looking around I found 3 ways I could do that and not counting the options like hiding it behind a web app hosted in IIS because I do not think that is the correct solution. I think the correct ways are:
1) Use Worker Role: This is provided by the legacy Cloud Services platform and due to its slow deployments and staging costs is out of question.
2) Use Web Jobs: It may need code changes but I am unable to find a decent article or tutorial in the context of windows services.
3) Use Containers: This seems to be the solution most suitable but I want some expert to guide me through it as I am completely new to docker and azure. Since the service is in .Net Framework, the target OS could only be Windows Server Core(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/modernize-with-azure-and-containers/modernize-existing-apps-to-cloud-optimized/deploy-existing-net-apps-as-windows-containers) but when I pull the image I get the message that it "cannot be used on this platform". I am using Windows 10. Does this mean that I need to be working on Windows server family OS to be able to pull image which effectively means that to be able to deploy .Net Framework application in an Azure container, I need to be working on Windows Server OS.
Links to a few good reads or videos are welcome as I am unable to find may be because I am not searching it correctly. I would imagine that windows service migration to Azure is a common scenario but I may be wrong.
Do follow the steps mentioned here

Also for your windows service, you do have a couple of other options as well
1) Convert your app into an Azure Function and run it on timer trigger. But your app must complete execution within 5 minutes.
2) Deploy your app as a timer triggered web job.
i have a web application which is created using .net framework 2.0 which is running on windows server 2003.is it possible to migrate that to Microsoft azure.if so does it require an entire rebuild on azure?
A really useful utility for this case is Azure Migration Assistant.
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/migration-assistant/
It will check all your IIS sites and show you if it can be moved up to an App Service, checking target framework, port bindings, etc.
If everything is ok, it can do the migration for you.
Worst case scenario, you can move your application to Azure inside a VM.
It depends on what you mean by "migrate".
If you think about moving as is, you have an option to choose IaaS, where you'll just get a VM and do what you want on it. That'll give you both full control as well as full responsibility over your app.
Otherwise, if you want to avail of the PaaS offering, you'll have to make minor tweaks to your application (assuming the framework version is supported).
UPDATE: Nevermind I've found it. It's not done via the Azure Portal but inside the Azure Project Properties Dialog inside Visual Studio.
Anyone know where the new Distributed Cache Feature (I'm not talking about Azure AppFabric Cache) that Scott mentioned in his post can be configured for a website?
Adding information for those who may be wondering what is it:
Yes "Distributed Cache" is a instance specific feature which can be configured during development time with Windows Azure June SDK, via Role properties in Visual Studio as seen in this screen shot:
This feature is available only for Windows Azure Virtual Machine and roles but not for "Windows Azure websites (FREE) in Shared Mode".
The distribute cache is not available in the Azure Website Free or shared because you are not alone on your instance. It should become possible on a reserved, but still not available. Don't forget that the distribute cache is still in preview, so always evolving.
