I have successfully implemented Jenkins to deploy to a server hosted locally, but now I need to create a job to deploy to a Azure hosted website running on PaaS. Both the Jenkins host and Website hosts are Windows machines.
I have found a link for setting up a virtual machine template for Azure Slave plugin, but there is no VM because it is IaaS and I dont have additional slaves in this case.
I am asking about the plug ins and process flow please.
Which Azure Plugin should I use in Jenkins (if any)?
E.g. Azure PublisherSettings Credentials plugin
Do I use the Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile and Import-AzurePublishSettingsFile ?
Would these contain all the relevant details required for Jenkins to know
where to copy to?
Would I create a zip file of the build, upload the zip to BLOB storage,
and then extract it to the website?
Is it possible to upload a zip file and then proceeding to extract the files once the whole file has been uploaded?
If the connection is interrupted at any stage while uploading 1000 individual files then the website will be unstable and therefore I need to investigate a single file upload with extraction thereafter.
