Terrence, Sure. I've asked Chris Patterson to look at this. He's our expert on the Azure CD integration.

Maybe I am missing something, but when we Connect an Azure website with a "TFS Project" that tfs project has many soultions, of which may have multiple websites. How do I select the website project from the TFS project that I want to deploy to the Azure Website?

@Joe

You need to be a member of the Project Collection Administrators group for now. We are working on a fix that will allow Project Administrators to setup the integration and expect it to be deployed later this month.

Sorry for the inconvienence

I'm also getting the same error on the portal when I try to link my cloud service with TFS:-

Failed to link TFS project '{ProjectName}' with your cloud service '{CloudServiceName}'

Access Denied: {user} needs the following permission(s) on the resource StrongBox to perform this action: Create a StrongBox Drawer.

My live account is part of the administrators group as well as build administrators. Any thoughts?

Thanks much!

@Saca

right now the best database story for our solution revolves around Entity Framework Migrations. However, this is something we are looking to improve. A second option is to customize the workflow to run the sql command line tools to execute your scripts against your target database. Finally you could use the sql server data tools to manage your schema then deploy it with their tools which are installed on the build machine.

For the entity framework solution I did a talk at TechEd that goes over it channel9.msdn.com/.../DEV362

For the other two I don't have great examples but I will work on some and get links posted to Brian's blog.

Lexej.s, I've not heard any issues with that. What are you seeing in the log files?

Unit tests in solution stops run after I used "AzureContinuousDeployment.11.xaml" instead of "Defaul template",

has anybody ideas why this happens?

Anything in the roadmap for Continous Deployment to SQL Azure?

I'm trying to figure out how a deployment that involves both changes to website and the database would play out with this. You would us CD for the website but still roll out the SQL Azure changes manually (log in and run whatever insert/update/alter scripts)?
