Recently a couple of new data centers have become available to host your cloud based applications using Windows Azure.
The Sitecore Azure deployment module has been implemented in a flexible way so that the module doesn’t need to be updated when a new Azure region becomes available. If you want to add a new region simply open the App_Config/AzureVendors sub folder under your Sitecore website root and edit the Microsoft.xml file:
- Navigate to the
<datacenters>
node - Add new
<datacenter>
nodes for each additional region
The name of the node needs to exactly match the region name which can be found here:
Windows Azure Regions
- Save the file and re-open the Sitecore Azure dialog from the Sitecore desktop.
