ISSUE:Azure worker role instance recycling. Trying to mount Azure cloud drive on role startup.

Event logs showed the following error:

Application: WaWokerHost.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudDriveException

Stack:

   at Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudDrive.MountAt(String location, Int32 cacheSize, DriveMountOptions options)

I attached a debugger to the worker process(WaWorkerHost). Saw the following exception:

Microsoft.WindowsAzure.StorageClient.CloudDriveException: ERROR_HTTPS_NOT_SUPPORTED ---> Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudDrive.Interop.InteropCloudDriveException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.WindowsAzure.CloudDrive.Interop.InteropCloudDriveException' was thrown.

This was happening because storage was using HTTPS protocol. 
When you are using cloud drive, you need to specify HTTP protocol for your storage.
   
   Role config file:  
   <Setting name="StorageAccount" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;AccountName=abcd;AccountKey=GUID" />
  
   The following article has a note where it mentions that https endpoint is not supported in mounting cloud drive.

   "When defining the connection string for connecting to the storage account, you must use the HTTP protocol. The HTTPS protocol is not supported for creating a drive."
