Azure Cloud Services projects

Any news on this?

Rider should be able to open and build such projects, but running and debugging are not supported yet. Please watch this issue for updates and feel free to vote and add comments.

Is it possible to create a package of Azure Cloud service project yet? So that one could publish it manually through Azure portal. In Visual Studio the package option creates two files that are needed (cspkg and cscfg file). Better yet, publishing directly to Azure would ultimately be a better option. If none of these options are possible then we are forced to use the command line option. But couldn't Rider also use these command line tools to generate the files? Or is there some post-build option to call command line tool with arguments? My understanding is that this can be achieved with MSBuild, but the process could be automated.
