I am new to cloud computing. I created a new cloud solution using Visual Studio 2010.
I need to deploy my solution somewhere in order to test it.
As I saw in my researches, I should have an account on http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/account/
Currently i do not have an account there, so where should I deploy my application, and how can i test it?
If you go here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsazure/cc974146.aspx you can download the whole SDK and other tools which essentially allows you to run Azure on your local machine. It requires you to have SQL Server installed.
Apologies for the lack of details, it's quite a while since I did it myself. But, poke around on that page and you'll find all the tools and documenation you need. It's a big, hairy thing to get your head around so you'll need to set some time aside to just read, sadly.
Best resource to get started is the Azure training kit, get it here:

Watch some videos then dive into the labs, the best teacher is hands on experience.

I am pretty new to flutter.I just developed a reminder app.But that was mostly only front-end.But my next project I want to build a meat delivery service app.But this requires me to work on the backed as well.I have been getting pretty vague answers on the backend part of flutter.
Can anyone explain what like how exactly should I go with backend.I know Python for the start.Also you can use dart as well.I am confused.I just want to finish off things in the optiminum period of time.
I think you can use the App Write.io, this project is open-source and free, you can install the server and everything will free for you. Btw: App Write has the Flutter SDK. And this project has much big community
Can you more information from here
firebase is pretty good but you need to have an API. there is no other way to do backend without API. here is the whole documentation about restApi https://medium.com/swlh/restful-api-documentation-made-easy-with-swagger-and-openapi-6df7f26dcad
I've been digging into the IBM Cloud Services, Watson and NLP. Just installed the CLI and tried with Node SDKs, and a starterkit, unfortunately I did not succeed by trying to get a sample code by default to understand how it works.
After that, I did some research get a better open minded approach to how actually I could use some of their free services to get started, but there's actually to vague information, even though the IBM Docs are pretty extensive and well written, it can get very confusing.
I would appreciate any open source repo, or working/live project that you are willing to share to make a better image in my mind about it IBM cloud services.
A few days ago I wrote a sample application using the Natural Language Understanding service. Check the source code here: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/natural-language-understanding-code-pattern
The README has instructions on how to get the apikey which is the way you will use to authenticate your API calls.
Since you are using Node.js you can start with the sample above and also look at this page: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/natural-language-understanding/natural-language-understanding?code=node which includes examples for all the features in Node.js using the node-sdk: https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/node-sdk/
I've been setting up Orchard 1.8 in an Azure Cloud Service. I've got it working, but I'm now confused as to how to use it.
Installing themes via the gallery fails silently. The devs say this is because Orchard on Azure doesn't support the theme gallery, and suggest adding new themes to the project and uploading a new package (https://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/453688). Ignoring that this requires any designers that want to make minor CSS changes now need Visual Studio, access to the entire source code, and then wait through a 20 minute deploy, this just doesn't seem possible.
This post explains how the Azure emulator doesn't work with Orchard. So now I'm confused; what is the expected workflow for a brand new Orchard site hosted on Azure if I can't make changes to the site in production or staging but cannot run it locally either. I'm aware I could run it without the Azure emulator on regular IIS but that seems to be too far removed from the production environment to be a good test.
I was drawn to Orchard originally because it had great documentation and supports MVC Web API, but this seems so fundamental that now I'm not so sure. I feel like every time something goes wrong they'll always be doubt whether it's working as designed or if there is an Azure idiosyncrasy going on.
I'd love to hear from anyone who's had an Orchard site from scratch in Azure, I'm hoping I've just missed something simple with this.
Thanks,
Tom
You should never install modules or themes on a production server. Instead, install those on your dev machine, build the package and then deploy. If you don't want to deal with the heaviness of cloud services, don't use cloud services. Azure Web Sites are about a million times easier to use, and they work great. They allow for what you're asking for.
How can a deployed cloud service application be debugged?
I am trying to render a RDLC report in my application using Topics & Subscriptions.
Whenever I run the cloud app locally, I don't receive any errors. But as soon as I deploy it over the cloud, I get an error which aren't described up to an extent so that it can be rectified.
I found that the error comes when the report is ready to be rendered and not anywhere else.
I am looking for a possible mechanisms (inserting breakpoints like we do locally, etc.) using which it is possible to debug a deployed cloud app.
Since I am using VS2012 Express & professional, intellitrace does not work here.
You need to enable Remote Debugging for your Role, and you will be able to debug your code in the cloud with any type of Visual Studio.
I don't think you can, however Intellitrace was build for that purpose. You enable Intellitrace in your cloud instances, and then you can "playback" that instance locally, thus debugging and spotting the exceptions thrown.
Here's MSDN's article on that
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/dd264915.aspx
Having Intellitrace only in the most expensive version of Visual Studio makes developing for Azure far more expensive than it is advertised at. There are some situations, such as when a role is starting up, that you pretty much can't do anything without Intellitrace. If you find that you are in one of those edge cases 'evaluate' VS ultimate in a local virtual machine. You may need to re-evaluate at some point in the future, in which case you will need another VM.
Is it possible to deploy custom DataCacheStoreProviders on Azure? I'm currently trying to deploy and test one locally, but I'm not sure how to go about this because the documentation doesn't cover my scenario. Any help would be appreciated.
No it not possible.
You can find all supported features here : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/gg278350.aspx
I think your question is specific to cloud Service, isn't it?
I don't have exact experience on how to get all of that working however during one similar discussion the outcome was that you can use DataCacheStoreProviders with Azure if after building and register DataCacheStoreProviders in your machine, you can access them using Windows Azure Cache modules i.e. using DataCacheFactory.GetCache(String cacheName) and process cache items. IF you try and met any problem in any step I can find some ways to help you after you post your issue.
