How do I figure out on which particular IIS version my Azure application will be running?

Can I choose to run my application only on a specific minimum IIS version in Azure, for example 8.0 or higher?

Azure Websites is running on Microsoft-IIS/8.0. If You are using Cloud Service with instances, IIRC You can choose Windows OS version, but only from CLI (not from portal) - but I'm not sure.

Wouldn't the IIS version depend on the version of Windows (2008, 2012 R2, etc.)? For Cloud Services, you control the Windows OS version.

  • Ah, ok I did not know you can choose OS in Azure. – IT Hit WebDAV Jan 07 '14 at 17:54

    Yes - you control the Windows Azure OS family. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/ee924680.aspx for info on how the Windows Azure OS family maps to a Windows Server OS version, .NET, and SDK version. – mcollier Jan 07 '14 at 19:21
  • What about Azure Websites? You don't get any of these choices in that scenario, apart from .Net framework version. – JMK Jan 07 '14 at 23:46
  • Thank you for the comments. Looks like this question needs some more clarification for the case of Azure Website. I have asked a new question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20999982/on-which-iis-version-azure-website-is-running-on – IT Hit WebDAV Jan 08 '14 at 15:42
