I am trying to deploy Umbraco v. 7.1.8 in my Azure space and it has been too hard.
These are the steps I follow, after reading a lot of samples that didn't work:
Create my template in VS2013 with VS2012 MVC4 templates (MVC5 is not supported)
Delete some of the incuded files (Global.asax, files inside App_Start folders)
Install Umbraco Cms version via nuget administrator
After that I did not find any way to following steps:
If I install locally the deploying to Azure does not work
If I deploy before installing into Azure give me dll version problems and it is not working
My goal is having a MVC project with Model and Controller folders and have options to create and scaffold my models inside the Umbraco project.
If I create Umbraco Web Site in Azure and the download to edit in local place, I loose some of that features, beacuse it is not a Web application but a Web site, and I can not use Model folder.
I am a bit loosed because I am a newbee in Umbraco.
After you've download the Umbraco site from Azure, you could always convert the Website to a Web Application project. This article seems to explain how to do so.
Another option would be to create a stand alone class library which references the UmbracoCms.Core NuGet package. This will allow you to create your models and controllers. Once compiled you could then upload it to your Azure Website.
I could not deploy yet an Application to Azure, but I am writting Controllers in App_Code folder and it is working. My new poco models are under "poco" folder, and my EF dbcontext and models under "Models" folder. Now I can connect to 2 different DBs and 2 different ORM's.
Even it is still a Web Site, not an Application Web, it deploy and run on Azure.
Now my battle is making views and templates works properly. There is an inconsistency between UmbracoTemplatePage and strongly typed view and are not working together:

I will appreciate some light on this,

Hi Karl,

Thanks, Dan.
Karl, I feel your pain. I'm facing the exact same challenges.
Have you tried the article linked in Dan's reply?
Thanks Dan, hi Mitton

@inherits UmbracoTemplatePage @model IEnumerable
