Azure-docs: This page may be obsolete and should either be updated and or abandoned in favor of the development kit

[xtianus79]

this is not helpful towards doing a more manual interaction with truffle to test and write contracts outside of azure until there is deployment. I feel like this should be rethought so there is a process that can work with an azure blockchain service still bound by local development.

Thank you for your feedback @xtianus79 .
I will let @PatAltimore share any future changes planned to this doc, though please understand that the Azure Blockchain Development Kit is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows developers to leverage familiar tools like Truffle Suite to build smart contracts whether the intention of this Quickstart is to use Truffle alone to connect to an Azure Blockchain Service default transaction node and use the interactive console to return the current blockchain block number.

Thanks!

Hi @xtianus79,

I agree with you. I chatted with the dev team. We're going to retire this article. The dev kit is a better option. It helps you install the prerequisites and Truffle is configured when using the dev kit. Thanks for pointing this out. An update should by live by 3/27/20.

Thanks,
Pat

@PatAltimore thanks so much. I am slowly starting to see how I can utilize the devkit. I posted a few questions to this thread. Would you be able to help with those questions (really just a main question) regarding how can I manually manage user accounts on my network manually.

@xtianus79,

For dev kit questions and issues, the dev kit repo is the right place (where you opened your issue). https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-azure-blockchain-ethereum/issues. I added a comment with a link to an AD article in your open issue.

For general questions, feedback, and support, here's a list of resources: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/blockchain/service/overview#support-and-feedback

Hope that helps,
Pat
