How to get Console Apps as a cloud serviceMostafa Elzoghbi

Sr. Technical Evangelist @ Microsoft@MostafaElzoghbi

Legacy application challenges

Can’t scale without re-writing big chunks of code. Code Architecture changes to scale. Managing threading and resource contention is hard. Avoid resource deadlocks. Scheduling requires synchronization challenges.

Possible migration options for scalable cloud services

Wrap your exe as Azure Web Jobs. Wrap your exe as Azure Worker Role. Wrap your exe as Azure Worker Role in Cloud

Services.

Option 1: Wrap your exe as Azure Web Jobs

100% code reusability. The exe is hosted on a web application in Azure. Easy to configure since all configs are managed

through the web app configs. Easy to scale up or down as needed. Scheduling is so easy pre and post deployment.
