Which IIS version Azure is running on?

Question

How do I figure out on which particular IIS version my Azure application will be running?

Can I choose to run my application only on a specific minimum IIS version in Azure, for example 8.0 or higher?

Answer 1

Azure Websites is running on Microsoft-IIS/8.0. If You are using Cloud Service with instances, IIRC You can choose Windows OS version, but only from CLI (not from portal) - but I'm not sure.

Answer 2

Wouldn't the IIS version depend on the version of Windows (2008, 2012 R2, etc.)? For Cloud Services, you control the Windows OS version.
