Azure/Cloud

Post by AbleNovice » Wed Nov 10, 2010 12:32 pm

I was wondering if anyone has had experience with putting Able in the cloud or using Azure. I didn't find much posted in the board already just some SSL issues...and not sure if they were resolved.

Microsoft Azure is currently not PCI DSS compliant and there is no ETA or official statement from Microsoft regarding the issue. For merchants using third party payment processors like
Paypal and Google Checkout this should not be an issue, but merchants using their own merchant account won't be able to get PCI certification.

From technical perspective you may experience licensing issues because Azure Web Role binds to DNS CNAME record, not IP address and AbleCommerce verifies licenses against both IP and
server physical path.
