Vault is fine on Windows Azure VM. Make sure to assign a tier able to handle the workload.

Vault with SQL Azure is an unsupported configuration due to lack of testing. As far as I know, SQL Azure won't give you enough rights to set up the databases, but someone at Azure could maybe help with that. I had heard of one user trying it, but we have no idea how that user tried it or if he was successful. I do know what user moved to a different service. You can feel free to try it if you'd like and let us know your results.

Thanks. Just found this reply now!
I'd like to try the SQL and see how it works. So what do I need for IIS /website? can I just copy the folders in IIS just now to new Azure site?
I see my current server which had .exe run has a few folders in IIS. Which are needed for Vault?
Are there other things the .exe sets up or is it simple copy/paste of folders in IIS to Azure?

I'm assuming running the installer isn't an option? I was under the impression that the installer could be run there.

There are multiple steps to manually setting everything up. Could you send an email to support at sourcegear.com (attn: Beth) with a link to this forum thread? Then I'll send you what I know.
