Foreword:
This post is for Windows Azure users who are using Windows Azure PowerShell cmdlets to fool around with your Azure Service's
Tally ho:
In case for some reason Publish-AzureServiceProject returns a bunch of cryptic errors that you don't care to understand. I would strongly recommend using Set-AzureDeployment.
Set-AzureDeployment requires a properly rebuilt cspkg Package. There are various ways that you can google to know how to rebuild the cspkg. I simply issue a Publish-AzureServiceProject command and when it reaches the uploading part, I ctrl-c and that exits the process prematurely without it going through the whole rigmarole and then getting stuck at those aforementioned cryptic errors.
Oh and make sure you use the -Force command when calling Set-AzureDeployment.
And here's a bloody good example (or so I like to think):
The above command (change paths and project name etc where ever applicable [like D'oh]) will do its mumbo jumbo and then ask you to enter a Slot. You have a choice, Production or Staging and you choose whatever the hell fits your bill. (Red pill/Blue pill sorta thing). Like so...
That's it. Hope this helps you peoples!
