Is Solaris SO supported on Azure Virtual Machines?

Question

Am I able to use Solaris to install it on a Azure Virtual Machine? Or I only can use the other non-Windows images like Suse, Ubuntu, etc?

Thanks in advance

That page you referenced is for PaaS VMs, not for IaaS:

Windows Azure Guest OS Releases and SDK Compatibility Matrix

For the question about Solaris being supported, I would instead reference:

Linux on Windows Azure-Endorsed Distributions

And for Windows:

Microsoft server software support for Windows Azure Virtual Machines

Thanks,
Craig

Hi Gerardo,

Unfortunately Solaris is not yet a supported guest OS on Azure

here is a list of compatible Operating systems with Microsoft Windows Azure (Last updated in July 2013)
