Upload Website to Storage
Upload your website to a Microsoft Azure blob storage.
The website deployment with C1 CMS Azure consists of 2 consecutive steps:
- The website (all files initially or only those changed afterwards) must be uploaded to a website container in a blob storage on Microsoft Azure
- The website (all files initially or only those changed afterwards) must be deployed from the website container to one or more Azure web roles or Windows Servers within one deployment.
You should take care of creating a website container in your blob storage and uploading the C1 CMS Website there.
Note. You should take these steps when deploying both on Microsoft Azure with a service package or on a Windows Server with the C1 CMSAzureBlobSync tool.
After you deploy the C1 CMS Azure package, you'll configure the deployment to have the website deployed from the website container to one ore more Azure web roles/Windows Servers - and C1 CMS Azure will do it automatically for you and will be doing it every time the changes are pushed to the website container.
We recommend that you use C1 CMS Azure Publisher to upload your website to a website container in your blob storage. (Please see "Using Azure Publisher" for more information.)
Alternatively, you can use any other 3rd-party tool such as CloudBerry Explorer for Azure Blob Storage to create containers and upload files to these containers. (Please see "Using CloudBerry Explorer" for more information.)
Please note that if you want to run more than one website in the same Azure web role or on the same Windows Server, you'll need to upload each website to its own website container in the storage. (Please see "Multiple Websites" for more information.)
As soon as you've uploaded the website to the blob storage, you'll need to configure it to be properly deployed to Azure web roles / Windows Servers.
