Hotfix application
Kentico CMS 5.5 R2• Difficult process since 5.5 R2 supports only web site• DLLs, libraries and database without problem• Hotfix must be applied locally not on AzureProblem:
Web site doesn‘t contain designer files
Solutions:– Delete designer files of hotfixed files in solution tree (in Visual studio)
and click convert to web application after hotfix is applied– Apply hotfix to web site and then convert to web application whole
solution

Upgrade procedure and version 6.0
Upgrade procedure• Same as hotfix
Kentico CMS 6.0• Native web application support – installation, hotfixes,
upgrades (from 6.0 upper)• You have to still apply hotfixes and upgrades locally

Frequenty asked questions
Q: Why Azure support in 5.5 R2 is limited to only one instance?
A: Application in Windows Azure must be stateless. Web farm module in 5.5 R2 cannot be used for synchronizing of static objects. Also Azure drive works only with one instance for read/write in same time.
