Building a Wiki

Full Title: (The meme or idea that is explicated by the page)

Building of a Wiki on Microsoft Azure with Minimal Effort

The Context:

A team that is working on a single problem or area of expertise but is separated by time or distance yet still needs to share information quickly with little extra effort is given a wiki to collect information as it is generated. Sharing is then automatic.

The Problem:

Constructing a set of description pages on a site that can be modified by any person that is willing to establish a persistent identity.

The Solution:

Parts of this solution were described by CGillum in his Dev Blog.

Creating the Wiki

1. First create a Web "App Service" on the Azure Portal.

Maintaining the Wiki

• Viewing the files on the site is described in the Kudu Service Wiki.
• It is easier to use the Kudu services if you have installed a json viewer on a desktop browser, like this Awesome Viewer from Rahul Barun.
