How to create an Azure based WCF restful API

Question

any tutorials on that?

ideally it would have basic http authentication

can I create a restful WCF web service and deploy to Azure?

Answer 1

Is WCF realy needed? There is Asp.Net WebApi now. It is successor of WCF WebApi. Here is tutorial link:
Getting Started with ASP.NET Web API

And in general there is no difference in actual code for Azure or OnPremise.
