Upgrade Windows Azure web role to Server 2008 R2 to use IIS 7.5

Question

I just launched my test website in Windows Azure this weekend with a single web role. I didn't see any options to specify what OS to use. It is currently using Server 2008 (IIS 7). According to this article though, Server 2008 R2 web roles are available (IIS 7.5). I want to use some specific functionality of IIS 7.5 - how can I upgrade my web role to use Server 2008 R2?

Answer 1

Just specify osFamily="2" in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg.
