We are evaluating DNN 6 for building acommunity site with the key requirements of storing file content in Azure blobstorage, content metadata and relationships in the SQL Azure storage and building the web application as a web role. Wanted to checkif this is feasible with DNN 6.
I had a few questions on the DNN 6 support on Windows Azure platform

1.      Does it follow the same DNN Azure Accelerator pattern with pre-configured virtual hard drive (cloud-drive) image or can we build web applications and then deploy as web roles?
2.      Does it support web farm scenario for scale so that VM or web role instances can be added on demand and they continue to work with same Azure storage and SQL Azure?
3.      When can I download the DNN6 version of the Azure accelerator?
4.      Joe mentioned about fixing the Azure support inhis blog entry “DotNetNuke and Windows Azure: Understanding Azure”“Over the next 4 posts in the series I’ll show youhow we solve the immutability problem and get DotNetNuke running in Azurewithout any architectural changes and just a minimal amount of changes to ourSQL Scripts”. I would like to know the updates on this.

THe DNN Azure Accelerator is the preferred approach for running DotNetNuke on Azure.  We do not ship any other mechanism for running on Azure. The current version of the Azure Accelerator allows DotNetNuke to run on Azure.  It currently supports running DotNetNuke in a webfarm using the FileBasedCachingProvider.  However, the current version of the accelerator is not HA compatible since it still relies on a single worker role to manage disk access for all of the webheads.  The next iteration of the accelerator is scheduled to bring direct DNN 6 support (the current version will require manual steps to upgrade to 6.0 after you complete the install)

Building out your own Azure hosting support would require you to duplicate much fo the work that has already been done for the Azure Accelerator.  David Rodriguez continues to make excellent progress with the Azure Accelerator and has some great new features planned for the next release.

As you may have noticed, my blogging over the last 4 or 5 months was drastically reduced as I was busy focusing on DNN 6 UI changes.
 Now that DNN 6 is done, my time is freed up quite a bit so I can finish my Azure series.
