Files in future after Cloud Service deployment
Hello, We have a problem in Azure, and we expect that Microsoft guys can answer or advise it soon. We found recently that after deploying our Cloud Service to Production, many files have date an...
Hi Sergei Kamnev,
In general these things happen when processes running at the wrong time create files. So it is unlikely that any of the processes on the same box as where the files are stored would be creating these files.
You would probably need to look at where these files came from?
e.g. If you create a file on a remote file system while the file system and your system don't run t the same time then you might get some unexpected results. Same of course if you create a Virtual Machine set the time to somewhere in the future and then create a template from that VM you will see files in the future.
So finding the source of the files will probably give you the answer.
Pieter,
Thank you for your input. I understand all this, so I wouldn't raise the issue if I wouldn't be sure.
Today I did another PROD deployment, and these files get valid time in Azure. So I can tell definitely that _sometimes_ Azure Cloud Services break timestamps of files during deployment. I don't know exact case, and it is not my job to test Cloud Services. The worst thing is that this can affect behavior of our product, which is bad for our customers.
Thanks,
Sergei.
