Member	jeff.magill-fleishman - 8/7/2012 10:22:51 AM Deployment takes over an hour I'm working on a Kentico 6 Azure project and any kind of deployment seems to take 60-90 minutes. Is this normal? Is there any way to cut down time? I have tried the "Publish" and "Package" actions in Visual Studio and exporting the site in Kentico. Each method takes agonizingly long.

RE:Deployment takes over an hour

Hello.

I would say it is normal. However, it depends on your internet connection and upload speed. Data which needs to be uploaded to Azure may have several hundreds of MB, possibly almost 1GB. When deploying it from VS, it does nothing else than upload data on Azure server. So I am not aware of any other way how to speed it up, other than reduce size of the package or have faster connection speed.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik

I have deployed other Apps to Azure and since Kentico has so many files, even a fast connection is slow. We have +100MB upload and were sending up 9000 files. Azure is fast once you get it there, but I think you will find the first upload is painful.


Member	jeff.magill-fleishman - 8/8/2012 4:32:02 PM RE:Deployment takes over an hour Thanks guys. I just needed a sanity check. egarrison, it sounds like you don't always use the Package or Publish actions in Visual Studio. Is that correct? If so, what is the alternate method?
