<strong>Kentico</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> <strong>7.0</strong> <strong>RC</strong> <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> <strong>Deployment</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
1 Introduction<br />
1.1 About this guide<br />
The main purpose of this guide is to describe the steps that need to be taken to successfully deploy a<br />
<strong>Kentico</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> website to the <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> cloud computing platform. It also provides information about<br />
the differences between an application deployed on <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> and one that is installed and set up<br />
for on-premise hosting. You can also learn about the additional configuration options available in <strong>Kentico</strong><br />
<strong>CMS</strong> that are related to <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> and its various services and components.<br />
To follow the instructions in this guide, you will need to have general knowledge of the <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong><br />
platform and a basic overview of the development principles that apply to <strong>Azure</strong> applications. Another<br />
requirement is access to an active <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> subscription. If you are new to <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong> and<br />
need to create a subscription or are looking for information, please visit http://www.microsoft.com/<br />
windowsazure/.<br />
If you are not familiar with <strong>Kentico</strong> <strong>CMS</strong>, we recommend that you get to know the system and its<br />
features before attempting to deploy a website to <strong>Windows</strong> <strong>Azure</strong>. First-time users can go through the<br />
<strong>Kentico</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> Tutorial, which describes the standard installation in a local environment and the basics of<br />
its administration interface. If you need additional information about any parts of the system, please refer<br />
to the <strong>Kentico</strong> <strong>CMS</strong> Developer's <strong>Guide</strong>.<br />
