Existing services built with this technology are still supported through [Azure Cloud Services (extended support)](../cloud-services-extended-support.md). For new development, we recommend that you use a newer service type designed for your specific purpose, such as [Azure App Service](/azure/app-service/overview), [Azure Functions](/azure/azure-functions/functions-overview?pivots=programming-language-csharp), or [Azure Container Apps](/azure/container-apps/overview). For the latest list of available services, see [Directory of Azure products](https://azure.microsoft.com/products/).

 Visual Studio provides a project template that lets you create an [Azure cloud service](/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-choose-me), which is a simple general-purpose Azure service. Once the project has been created, Visual Studio enables you to configure, debug, and deploy the cloud service to Azure.
 
 ## Steps to create an Azure cloud service project in Visual Studio

 After you have created your Azure cloud service, you can add new roles to it or remove existing roles from it. You can also import an existing project and convert it to a role. For example, you can import an ASP.NET web application and designate it as a web role.

 When you update a cloud service that's hosted in Azure, you might need to ensure that the virtual IP address (VIP) of the service doesn't change. Many domain management services use the Domain Name System (DNS) for registering domain names. DNS works only if the VIP remains the same. You can use the **Publish Wizard** in Azure Tools to ensure that the VIP of your cloud service doesn’t change when you update it. For more information about how to use DNS domain management for cloud services, see [Configuring a custom domain name for an Azure cloud service](/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-custom-domain-name-portal).

 Using the Microsoft Build Engine (MSBuild), you can build products in build-lab environments where Visual Studio is not installed. MSBuild uses an XML format for project files that's extensible and fully supported by Microsoft. Using the MSBuild file format, you can describe what items must be built for one or more platforms and configurations.
 
 You can also run MSBuild at the command line, and this topic describes that approach. By setting properties on the command line, you can build specific configurations of a project. Similarly, you can also define the targets that MSBuild builds. For more information about command-line parameters and MSBuild, see [MSBuild Command-Line Reference](../msbuild/msbuild-command-line-reference.md).

 When you need to troubleshoot an Azure cloud service or virtual machine, you can use Visual Studio to more easily set up Azure Diagnostics. Diagnostics captures system data and logging data on the virtual machines and virtual machine instances that run your cloud service. Diagnostics data is transferred to a storage account that you choose. For more information about diagnostics logging in Azure, see [Enable diagnostics logging for Web Apps in Azure App Service](/azure/app-service/web-sites-enable-diagnostic-log).
 
 In this article, we show you how to use Visual Studio to turn on and set up Azure Diagnostics, both before and after deployment. Learn how to set up Diagnostics on Azure virtual machines, how to select the types of diagnostics information to collect, and how to view the information after it's collected.

 With IntelliTrace, you can log extensive debugging information for a role instance when it runs in Azure. If you need to find the cause of a problem, you can use the IntelliTrace logs to step through your code from Visual Studio as if it were running in Azure. In effect, IntelliTrace records key code execution and environment data when your Azure application is running as a cloud service in Azure, and lets you replay the recorded data from Visual Studio.
 
 You can use IntelliTrace if you have Visual Studio Enterprise installed and your Azure application targets .NET Framework 4 or a later version. IntelliTrace collects information for your Azure roles. The virtual machines for these roles always run 64-bit operating systems.

 An Azure cloud service project in Visual Studio includes three configuration files: `ServiceDefinition.csdef`, `ServiceConfiguration.Local.cscfg`, and `ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg`:
 
 - `ServiceDefinition.csdef` is deployed to Azure to describe the requirements of the cloud service and its roles, and to provide settings that apply to all instances. Settings can be read at run time using the Azure Service Hosting Runtime API. This file can be updated on Azure only when the cloud service is stopped.

 Visual Studio can publish an application directly to Azure, with support for both Staging and Production environments of a cloud service. When publishing, you select the deployment environment and a storage account that's used temporarily for the deployment package.
 
 When you're developing and testing an Azure application, you can use Web Deploy to publish changes incrementally for your web roles. After you publish your application to a deployment environment, Web Deploy lets you deploy changes directly to the virtual machine that is running the web role. You do not have to package and publish your entire Azure application each time you want to update your web role to test out the changes. With this approach, you can have your web role changes available in the cloud for testing without waiting to have your application published to a deployment environment.

+
+ [!INCLUDE [Cloud Services](./includes/cloud-services-legacy.md)]

 ## Overview
 When you publish a cloud service, Visual Studio stores configuration information in two kinds of configuration files: service configurations and profiles. Service configurations (.cscfg files) store settings for the deployment environments for an Azure cloud service. Azure uses these configuration files when it manages your cloud services. On the other hand, profiles (.azurePubxml files) store publish settings for cloud services. These settings are a record of what you choose when you use the publish wizard, and are used locally by Visual Studio. This topic explains how to work with both types of configuration files.

 To publish an application to Azure or to monitor an existing cloud service, Visual Studio requires credentials to authenticate requests to Azure, namely your Azure subscription ID and a valid X.509 v3 certificate with a key of at least 2048 bits. You provide these credentials through either of the following methods:
 
 - In Visual Studio select **View > Server Explorer**, right-click the **Azure** node, select **Connect to Microsoft Azure Subscription**, and sign in.

 ## Overview
 
 To filter data in an Azure table that is displayed in the Visual Studio **Table Designer**, you construct a filter string and enter it into the filter field. The filter string syntax is defined by the WCF Data Services and is similar to a SQL WHERE clause, but is sent to the Table service via an HTTP request. The **Table Designer** handles the proper encoding for you, so to filter on a desired property value, you need only enter the property name, comparison operator, criteria value, and optionally, Boolean operator in the filter field. You do not need to include the $filter query option as you would if you were constructing a URL to query the table via the [Storage Services REST API Reference](/rest/api/storageservices/).

 After you install the current release of the Azure Tools (or a previous release that's newer than 1.6), any projects that were created by using a Azure Tools release before 1.6 (November 2011) will be automatically upgraded as soon as you open them. If you created projects by using the 1.6 (November 2011) release of those tools and you still have that release installed, you can open those projects in the older release and decide later whether to upgrade them.
