如何在Azure中部署多个Web角色

Question

I had gone through multiple articles and SO Questions like - this , this , and this (and many others)

However none of them serves my issue. I would like to deploy two web roles in one cloud service. I tried deploying the same but found one is running whereas other web role throws – Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage / connection timeout in firefox.

Here is what I tried so far: -

I have two web roles (App and Service), when I deployed either App or Service to a cloudservice for eg http://xxxx.cloudapp.net , it works fine.

But when I tried deploying both App on port 8080 & Service on port 80 in http://xxxx.cloudapp.net , and tried browsing - http://xxxx.cloudapp.net , it displays Service page.

Whereas, while browsing App using - http://xxxx.cloudapp.net:8080 , it throws error – Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage / connection timeout in firefox.

But my app works fine when just App is deployed on port 80.

Here is the ServiceDefinition file : -

<ServiceDefinition name="AppServiceAzure" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ServiceHosting/2008/10/ServiceDefinition" schemaVersion="2013-03.2.0">
  <WebRole name="MyService" vmsize="Small">
    <Sites>
      <Site name="Web">
        <Bindings>
          <Binding name="Endpoint1" endpointName="Endpoint1" />
        </Bindings>
      </Site>
    </Sites>
    <Endpoints>
      <InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="http" port="80" />
    </Endpoints>
    <Imports>
      <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
    </Imports>
    <Certificates>
      <Certificate name="mycert" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" />
    </Certificates>
  </WebRole>

  <WebRole name="MyApp" vmsize="Small">
    <Sites>
      <Site name="Web">
        <Bindings>
          <Binding name="Endpoint1" endpointName="Endpoint1" />
        </Bindings>
      </Site>
    </Sites>
    <Endpoints>
      <InputEndpoint name="Endpoint1" protocol="http" port="8080" />
    </Endpoints>
    <Imports>
      <Import moduleName="Diagnostics" />
    </Imports>
    <Certificates>
      <Certificate name="mycert" storeLocation="LocalMachine" storeName="My" />
    </Certificates>
  </WebRole>
</ServiceDefinition>

What I am missing here?

Each Windows Azure Compute instance represents a virtual server of either of following role.

Windows Azure Compute instance
|
|_______[front-end] web server (Web role)
        |
        |
        |_____Site1
        |
        |
        |_____Site2
        |
        |
        |_____Site3 etc.

or

|
|
|
|_______back-end/.NET] application server (Worker role)


or

|
|
|
|_______VM

I suggest two approaches: 1) create Multiple sites in one role.(you will get different endpoints) 2) Or deploy one webrole to staging and other role to production . (again you will get different endpoints)
