The differences between Azure Service Configuration(.cscfg) and Azure Service Definition(.csdef) Files
Remembering the differences between Azure Service Configuration(.cscfg) and Azure Azure Service Definition(.csdef) files can be challenging. Not only do you need to know how to configure the Cloud Services for the Azure 70-532 and the 70-533 exams, you need to be able to implement it for you real world projects ;-)
I have complied some of the major configurations that each file contains. Having all the optional configurations for each file in one location really helped me remember the differences and have one place to go when I needed to look it up. Hope it helps!
