Both articles mention using the azure accelerator. I'm correct that is not needed anymore now that Azure websites is an option. But ofcourse I can be wrong :-)
It should just work. Deploy from VS or WebMatrix and it will do what's needed. You MIGHT have to copy over the SQL CE database manually, I can't remember exactly. I think the tools will give you the option to create a SQL Azure database but you can go into the Kudu console and upload your database to the App_Data directory manually instead.
Nope, should work. But Examine might be a little bit slow as it has to read the index files from a fileshare (that's just how Azure Websites work). So you can configure Examine to pull the indexes to the local disk in temporary storage.
You can configure it like in this issue adding the useTempStorage attribute and setting it to Sync (keeps it in sync with the fileshare) or LocalOnly (will rebuild the indexes every time the application pool starts).
Yup set them in the ExamineSettings.config file, so if you update an Indexer then you also have to update the corresponding Searcher (or just do them all).
Umbraco 7 and Azure websites
Hi,
I want to run a (small) blog website on Azure websites. I will be using SQL CE as a backend for the moment.
Any things I need to consider or does Umbraco work out of the box on Azure Websites.

Hi Dave,
I have just found a guide on how to run Umbraco on Azure.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/hh551143.aspx and try also to see https://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008/installing-umbraco-to-sql-azure
Hope this can help you.

Hi Sebastiaan,
I think I read somewhere something was needed for the Examine indexes to work, but can't find it.

Are these settings in Examine config files ?

Yup set them in the
ExamineSettings.configfile, so if you update anIndexerthen you also have to update the correspondingSearcher(or just do them all).is working on a reply...
