after updating azure sdk2.5 sdk 2.6, had same problem when trying publish azure service vs2013: any deployment effort using visual studio fails after minutes 500 internal server error.

as found reason very slow upload of azure package cloud - between 30kb/s , 50kb/s. deployment fails because of timeout explains, azure instance logs show no sign of deployment...

work around: deploy azure storage

1: package azure solution, either via visualstudio or via command line:

msbuild /t:publish /p:targetprofile=cloud /p:configuration=release

2: create azure storage container upload package to.

continue using azurepowershell cmdlets:

3: login

add-azureaccount

4: upload package azure storage container

$ctx = new-azurestoragecontext -storageaccountname "yourstoragename" -storageaccountkey "yourkey"

set-azurestorageblobcontent -file "...\app.publish\yourservice.cspkg" -container "yourazurestoragecontainer" -blob "yourservice.cspkg" -context $ctx -force

determine packageurl of uploaded package.

5: deploy cloud service referring package uploaded azure cloud storage.

set-azuredeployment -upgrade -slot "staging" -package "packageurl" -configuration "pathtoyourcloudconfiguration.cscfg" -label "somedeploymentinfo" -servicename "yourservicename" -force

(of course entire process scriptable. kemp brown wrote great article: script adapt explictly upload package: continuous delivery cloud services in azure)
