As organizations transition their applications and infrastructure to the cloud, a common path is migrating an ASP.NET web app running on Microsoft's IIS to Azure App Services, ensuring the CI/CD process remains reliable. The blog post by Rob Pearson outlines the steps to update the deployment process of an existing web application, using Octopus Deploy, from on-premises to the cloud. The migration involves maintaining a script step to update the database and transitioning the deployment step to a cloud-based Azure App Service, replacing IIS. It also details the optional migration from an on-premises CI/CD platform to Octopus Cloud, emphasizing the self-service project export and import support, and configuring Azure accounts and deployment targets. The updated process includes configuring cloud-based infrastructure, modifying deployment steps to accommodate Azure App Services, and updating configuration variables for cloud compatibility. Additionally, the post highlights the potential use of runbooks for automating tasks such as infrastructure provisioning and database maintenance in a cloud environment, reflecting a broader trend of moving away from traditional virtual machines to modern cloud solutions.
