VBox Instance on the Azure Platform

Post by bluesFish »

Is it possible to put a VBox instance on Windows Azure?
I am not a 100% IT person and sorry if this is a dumb question.

I have a free account with a MSDN subscription and would like to have an Internet installation of VBox,

Infrastructure as a Service seems to relate to all of this somehow.

Thanks for any help you can provide

Most unlikely. Azure provides virtual machines, and VirtualBox needs to run directly on the hardware.

If Microsoft did decide to offer virtualization software in is unlikely they would use a competitor's product.
