I'm wondering if anybody has any success stories for running Umbraco 4.5 on Windows Azure? I've seen some old post that discuss this, but not anything recent.
Now I need to handle the writing to media, css, scripts etc side. Does anyone know how to either setup azure to allow writes to those directories or how to modify umbraco to keep these in an azure-friendly manner? With the MSDN post referenced above I'd think we are really close to this working.

Well, I was able to install Umbraco on Windows Azure, running with Azure SQL.
However, when trying to make some changes, the deployment crach since Umbraco tries to write to the Azure VM file system, which is not always allows.
It seems thant it can be changed since Azure is supporting writing to the file system

I have umbraco installed in an azure web role with the database converted as described in http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008/installing-umbraco-to-sql-azure.
