Hosting your website on a Windows Azure VM is as easy as
doing it on your own infrastructure. Compared to the private setup, all it
needs is couple of additional steps involving creating endpoints and copying
your content to the VM. The following tutorial demonstrates how to quickly
provision and setup a web server in an Azure Virtual Machine.
Step 1: This step expects that you already have a VM
configured in Azure and can access it via the azure management portal. Open the
VM from the management portal and navigate to the Endpoint sections.
Step 2: Add a new Endpoint to the VM for the port 80 and 443
as given below. You can avoid the https endpoint if you don’t want to access
the site over 443.
Step 3: The final structure should be looking like
Step 4: Connect to your VM using remote desktop management and
then install the roles for Web Server
Step 5: Open IIS and add a new site with the port using 80
and configure the virtual directory location. Since the default website is
using the port 80 you may need to stop the default site to access the new
website created.
Step 6: Move the contents of your website to this virtual
directory.
That’s it now you can access your website by using the cloud
services url as given below.
