I have a web service hosted on azure as a web role.
In this web role I override the Run() method and perform some db operations in the following order to basically act as a worker role.

  1. go to blob storage to pull a small set of data.

  2. Cache this data for future use.

  3. Kill some blobs that are too old.

  4. Thread.Sleep(900000);

Basically the operation repeats every 15 minutes in the background.
It runs fine when I run on DevFabric but when deployed the azure portal get stuck in a loop of stabilizing role and then preparing node.

Never actually starting up either instance.
I have enabled diagnostics and it isn’t showing me anything to suggest there is a problem.
I’m at a loss for why this could be happening.

    I don’t typically like to answer my own question when someone else has made an effort to help me however I feel that the approach I used to solve this should be documented.

    I enabled intellitrace when deploying to Azure and I was able to see all the exceptions being thrown and investigate the cause of the exceptions.

    Intellisense was critical in solving my deployment issues. I would recommend it to anyone seeing an inconsistency between deploying devfabric and deploying to azure.
