How to deploy App_Data files with Azure cloud service (web role)
问题 I have a read-only data file (for IP geolocation) that my web role needs to read. It is currently in the App_Data folder, which is not included in the deployment package for the cloud service. Unlike "web deploy", there is no checkbox for an azure cloud service deployment to include/exclude App_Data. Is there a reasonable way to get the deployment package to include the App_Data folder/files? Or is using Azure storage for this sort of thing the better way to go? (cost and performance wise) Am
