New Post: On azure deployment recieved issue: 'The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding'

You didn't post StackTrace but I'm guessing you are getting a SqlException with an error Number of -2.  As far as I can tell, the SqlAzureTransientErrorDetectionStrategy does not treat this scenario as being transient.
