I have a client willing to move to Azure PaaS with their ASP.NET web service layer. We are likely to move as Azure Web App with some jobs as Web Jobs. Is there any tool that I can run to check whether the code is compatible with PaaS Web App?
I heard a tool called xRay but not able to find it out. Would love to get your suggestions on this?
What about SQL Server On Prem to Azure SQL - is there any similar tool to check compatibility?

I have a web site developed in ASP.NET MVC and used MS SQL Server as a back-end database.
I was trying to host this application on webFaction, but unable do do so as it seems WebFaction does not support hosting of ASP.NET applications.
Can I host ASP.NET application with SQL Server as DB on WebFaction?
The official answer is here: https://community.webfaction.com/questions/17081/asp-as-application/17099
WebFaction only offers Linux server hosting.
If you want to use ASP.Net, you'll have to use Mono. They don't provide an installer for it, so you'll need to build the Mono stack from scratch.
Per MS SQL server, it doesn't (currently) run on Linux. So you will either need to connect your Webfaction ASP app to another hosting service for the database, switch to a new database, or wait for MS to release their linux version of MS SQL.
I have a Web application in Visual Studio 2010 in 4.0 Framework.I want to deploy this app to azure cloud services.The application contains a local sql database as well as session variables.Can anyone please guide me on the steps to follow regarding the same.Do I have to create another database or the local database will do?
You can use a local database for an Azure web application.
However, as mentioned in this article, if you want to reduce the impact that latency will have on your application, you should use an Azure SQL Database.
If you need to migrate your local database to an Azure SQL Database you can look at some of Azure SQL's migration options.
Hope this helps!
Im a beginner that is thrying to setup my first website in Windows Azure. I have published it and made a Sql database inside Windows Azure.

You can deploy it directly from SSMS. Right click a database in the Object Explorer pane select Tasks - > Deploy database to Windows Azure SQL Database command:
In the Deployment Settings click the Connect button, and connect to your Azure Server:
Click Next:
Review summary, and click Finish:
After successful deployment connect to your Azure Server in SSMS and you'll see your database:
EDIT:
If you encountered an error during the deployment check the list of limitations in Azure SQL Database:
