Lab: Implementing PaaS Cloud Services

Scenario

You want to evaluate the potential of PaaS cloud services to host A. Datum web applications. Your development team has provided a simple cloud service project that you can use to investigate Azure functionality. You want to show how staging and production slots can be used to ease the deployment of new versions of the PaaS cloud service. You also want to demonstrate that you can monitor the service to get clear information on resource usage. This will help the administration team evaluate service performance during its staged deployment.
