Uhuru Cloud - My First App

I recently had a chance to test a newly release cloud service provided by Uhuru. The service is named Uhuru .NET Services for Cloud Foundry and you can find all information about it by accessing Products page of Uhuru website.

Uhuru Cloud support JAVA, .NET, php and other web applications but I'd like to start with the simplest one, my company website, a single html/js webpage.

To deploy app to Uhuru Cloud you will need either install a MMC (Microsoft Management Console) or Uhuru Visual Studio plugin. I choose MMC because the multi page user guide for installation of Visual Studio plugin is quite scary. Uhuru gives a very detailed PDF doc to help deploying app through MMC and the whole process is very straight forward.

One thing worth mentioning, when pushing your app to Uhuru CloudFoundry, it will automatically identify the suitable framework and runtime version for your app. In my case, since it is just a html/js site, CloudFoundry treat it as a php app (fair enough, compare with JAVA and IIS, php host cost less).  While after couple of mouse clicking and filling one small windows form, my first app is officially online now.
