Support partial updates to deployments
Each time I need to change any component on my deployments, i need to repackage everything and upload the whole thing. As my packages grow in size & complexity, this becomes quite timetaking and not so well. I suggest to please support selective component updates

It would be create to have such a feature, to reduce deployment time.

Want to a new host header to map to an existing website? Tough as that's part of the service definition file...and can't be changed

It is so painful at the moment. I give up using Worker/Web role due to the slow deployment. I hope MS will be looking at this seriously. This is feedback was created 4.5 years ago but it is still under review

It's really a deal breaker for rapid deployment.

They need to integrate publishing static web files like JS,CSS etc to blob storage as part of the publish operation. This would apps more scableable as statics files wouldn't be served by web roles. It would also allow updates to static files without re-deploying the instance.

Stored WCF endpoints in web.config ... a change means redeployment . Pain.

I agree, the deployment process should be much easier. In order to modify a javascript you need to deploy the application. There should be an easier solution for that.
