Most of developers are faced with acute problem of the need to do a quick fix to a deployed solution where it is a small bug in one of the assemblies or a small CSS change or maybe just a Typo on the main page. To solve this the only way is to rebuild the project and redploy the package. this is a very tedious operation especially if you want to do the bug fix fast and your azure package file is 50-70 MB. To Add this as soon as you intiated the upload process, you saw another small bug. and you need to now again redploy. If you are not using a high bandwidth connection then, the plight of such a deployment is well known to most of azure developers.
