Service configuration file - The cloud service configuration file (.cscfg) provides configuration settings for the cloud service and individual roles, including the number of role instances.
-
Service package - The service package (.cspkg) contains the application code and the service definition file.
For more information about using the cloud service package, see How to Create and Deploy a Cloud Service.
