Running .Net SP in Azure web role

[Eric Kool-Brown]

Hi Randy,

Microsoft terminology, as always, is confusing. In the beginning (of Azure, the group I worked in before leaving MS) there were web roles and worker roles. Those are now labeled as parts of a cloud service. MS has added the new web role as a stand-alone lightweight hosting facility. I am referring to the former web role within the cloud service. With it you can have startup scripts specified in the service definition file. The new web role is a complete non-starter because it doesn't yet support SSL. Anyway, you probably knew all of this but I hope the explanation clears up any confusion that may have existed in this thread's readers.

I am pretty confident I'll be able to get this working. I found the documentation on running the SP MSI unattended and I'll give that a shot soon.

You could run the SP on an Azure virtual server but I don’t see how you could add the SP with its service process to an Azure Web role.  The Azure web role is intended to host IIS applications.  The SP is more than a web application.

Sorry, total brain fart on my part. I know there is no .Net SP. I meant the Microsoft IIS version and somehow .Net came out.

Looking over the source, may have more questions...

Thanks,

    Eric
