I have an Azure VM which recently have been resized to D2 size form A2 Basic so it has a new SSD local disk (a temporal disk with no persistence guarantee).
Now it has the swap file, but I think it can be used for more temporary things. What can be moved safely to this disk? For example is safe to move the /tmp folder?
It is an Ubuntu server, used as a web server (Apache, MySQL).
I allways use control version to develop webs and apps. Now we will make an java web app and deploy it in Microsoft Azure and I've seen that you can upload content with git. But in the case of java webs, I think that you need to upload the war and I don't want to add the war to my control version as for my point of view it isn't a good idea.
For now I use the classic ftp approach.
Is there a way to use git to publish a java web app into Azure without adding the war?
