    <p>Well,</p> <p>I want to clarify some things, becasue there is missleading information. First of all, and all correct - PHP is indeed first class citizen in Windows Azure. But from then on, there are two approaches:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/cloud-services/" rel="nofollow">Windows Azure Cloud Service</a> (a.k.a. WebRole and everything mentioned in the <a href="https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/php/" rel="nofollow">PHP Development Center</a>)</li> <li><a href="http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/home/scenarios/web-sites/" rel="nofollow">Windows Azure WebSite</a> (a.k.a. Azure WebSites)</li> </ul> <p>Taking the cloud services approach none existing PHP shopping cart can be run without modifications. Because the Cloud Services are PaaS offering, with a <strong>stateless</strong> roles. (you can learn more on terminlogy - i.e. cloud service / role / role instance, from <a href="http://blogs.staykov.net/2011/12/windows-azure-basics-part-1-of-n.html" rel="nofollow">my blog post here</a> - it all concerns PaaS and Cloud Service). If you chose Cloud Service - take <em>any</em> existing PHP shopping cart and begin modifying it - from how it stores Session, to how it writes and reads files to persistent storage. </p> <p>Taking the Windows Azure WebSites approach - you can literally take any existing PHP Shopping cart and run it in Windows Azure WebSite. You can either do it so, or chose some of the gallery - you can install for example WordPress with couple of clicks and then add some <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/shopping-cart" rel="nofollow">shopping cart plugin</a>. You can do the same with <a href="http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/e-commerce/shopping-cart" rel="nofollow">Joomla</a>, or even <a href="http://www.ubercart.org/" rel="nofollow">Drupal</a>. </p> <p>All of them are supported from within the website gallery in Windows Azure WebSites. Once installed you can customize them.</p> <p>One thing to note is that Windows Azure Websites is currently in preview, so there is no SLA for it, and no commercial projects are supported to run on WAWS.</p>
