Sorry but no, it is not currently supported though we do support SqlAzure for the db.

Re: windows azure

I haven't gone through the docs but just thought to followup on this thread to know the latest status on windows azure compatibility.

Re: windows azure

If the VM is treated like a true server yes it can. That is how Amazon EC2 works.

Re: windows azure

Hi,

We don't currently support Windows Azure but it is something we intend to look into in the coming months.

Best,

Joe

Re: windows azure

With the release of mojoPortal 2.3.7.5 we now have some guidance for running mojoPortal on Azure.

Re: windows azure

Hi Joe,

Went looking for the AzureHost Release package per the instructions:

Download the AzureHost release package from codeplex and extract the contents from the .zip file

but that project has no releases ... has the procedure changed?

Re: windows azure

Hi Bill,

Thanks for letting me know. I did make a release on Nov 29, 2011 but somehow it was marked as hidden and I did not realise it.

It is there now.

Best,

Joe

Re: windows azure

Hi Joe,

Any chance at some point you can also publish a Azure Host release built for Small instances (vmsize=Small)?

Re: windows azure

Hi Bill,

What makes you think the vmsize is pre-determined or determined at all in Azure Host? I don't think it is and am pretty sure I was using small instances in my testing. I think that is something controlled by your Azure account. I'm pretty sure my account only has small instances available because it was one of those free trial deals but I ran past the free time period.

However, whether a small instance really has enough resources (ie available memory) to run it well is another question. If memory is too low it will cause constant recycling of the app pool just like in any other low memory hosting environment and that will kill performance.

Best,

Joe

Re: windows azure

Hi Bill,

Thanks! I had not noticed that the instance size was baked into the package. I've updated the AzureHost zip to have sub folders with packages to support each of the possible WebRole Instance sizes, and I've updated the document here to mention choosing the contents of the folder based on the instance size you want to deploy. 

Best,

Joe
