Is the file system distributed across multiple Azure sites?

Quick question. I am looking to deploy a site on Azure using websites.

I read a comment that says the file system is shared between multiple instances of the website?

  • It's true?
  • Does this mean if I upload the image to the file system in one case, all requests of the second instance will have access to the file?
  • Are the files synchronized across instances or are they all running point to one drive, i.e. somewhere in the memory block?

We will be deploying the Umbraco 7 site, so I still need to check for any problem that may occur when indexing lucene, etc. Does anyone know of any complications with Umbraco 7 and this deployment method?

Thanks in advance

The answer from bedane is incorrect. This question is about Azure websites (not Azure Web role)

1) Yes, that’s true. Azure websites store your content using Azure Storage units, which are mounted and presented on the website as a read / write share.

2) By virtue of 1) when you upload a file, you upload it to a shared resource, and therefore all instances will immediately see the download.

3) All instances point to one drive (just repeating point 1)

This Azure website architecture has been specifically designed to include applications such as Umbraco, Wordpress, etc. that install plugins and make changes directly to the site’s content directory. This design point fixes an issue in Azure Web Roles.
