I am a bit confused about deploying cloud services and especially, is it possible to replace the code

Question

Just used to publishing VS2012 Cloud Services. I currently have one instance of webrole that contains an MVC3 application. I can publish it to Azure without problems, and it creates a Cloud Service> Web Role> virtual machine. Good. It takes a bit.

However, when I make a small code change, how can I transfer only this code change without replacing all the virtual machines that implement WebRole, etc.

It seems that the code and infrastructure are inseparable or I misunderstood. Is there a way to just update the code bit?

Thank.

All of the above answers are correct, and if you are trying to change your code for a production service, you will definitely want to update as described. However, often during the dev / test phase or troubleshooting, I want to make a small change and quickly test it. To do this, go to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/kwill/archive/2013/09/05/how-to-modify-a-running-azure-service.aspx , which describes how to change the code through RDP on Azure VM.
