Summary

We've now completed the cloud services topic we started in the previous chapter, and we've taken a closer look at using diagnostics, remote debugging, and IntelliTrace, to help us debug our applications that run in the cloud. We've also looked at detecting configuration change so that our cloud services can dynamically respond to changes without the need to redeploy or manually recycle. Finally, we looked at start-up tasks, which allow us to customize the cloud service environment before a role starts.

In the next chapter, we're going to look at building an ASP.NET Web API web service and a production management application, which we will integrate into our system using Azure Active Directory.
