The configuration settings for a role are name and value pairs that are declared in the service definition file and set in the service configuration file.

LocalResources

The LocalResources element describes the collection of local storage resources for a web role. This element is the parent of the LocalStorage element.

LocalStorage

The LocalStorage element identifies a local storage resource that provides file system space for the service at runtime. A role may define zero or more local storage resources.

Note

The LocalStorage element can appear as a child of the WebRole element to support compatibility with earlier versions of the Azure SDK.

The following table describes the attributes of the LocalStorage element.

Attribute	Type	Description
name	string	Required. A unique name for the local store.
cleanOnRoleRecycle	boolean	Optional. Indicates whether the local store should be cleaned when the role is restarted. Default value is true.

For more information, see Virtual Machine and Cloud Service Sizes for Azure.

name

string

Required. A unique name for the local store.

cleanOnRoleRecycle

boolean

Optional. Indicates whether the local store should be cleaned when the role is restarted. Default value is true.

sizeInMb

int

Optional. The desired amount of storage space to allocate for the local store, in MB. If not specified, the default storage space allocated is 100 MB. The minimum amount of storage space that may be allocated is 1 MB.

The maximum size of the local resources is dependent on the virtual machine size. For more information, see Virtual Machine and Cloud Service Sizes for Azure.

The name of the directory allocated to the local storage resource corresponds to the value provided for the name attribute. For more information on accessing a local storage resource from code running within a role instance, see Configure Local Storage Resources.

Endpoints

The Endpoints element describes the collection of input (external), internal, and instance input endpoints for a role. This element is the parent of the InputEndpoint, InternalEndpoint, and InstanceInputEndpoint elements.

Input and Internal endpoints are allocated separately. A service can have a total of 25 input, internal, and instance input endpoints which can be allocated across the 25 roles allowed in a service. For example, if have 5 roles you can allocate 5 input endpoints per role or you can allocate 25 input endpoints to a single role or you can allocate 1 input endpoint each to 25 roles.

Note

Each role deployed requires one instance per role. The default provisioning for a subscription is limited to 20 cores and thus is limited to 20 instances of a role. If your application requires more instances than is provided by the default provisioning see Billing, Subscription Management and Quota Support for more information on increasing your quota.

InputEndpoint

The InputEndpoint element describes an external endpoint to a web role.

You can define multiple endpoints that are a combination of HTTP, HTTPS, UDP, and TCP endpoints. You can specify any port number you choose for an input endpoint, but the port numbers specified for each role in the service must be unique. For example, if you specify that a web role uses port 80 for HTTP and port 443 for HTTPS, you might then specify that a second web role uses port 8080 for HTTP and port 8043 for HTTPS.

The following table describes the attributes of the InputEndpoint element.

Attribute	Type	Description
name	string	Required. A unique name for the external endpoint.
protocol	string	Required. The transport protocol for the external endpoint. For a web role, possible values are HTTP, HTTPS, UDP, or TCP.
port	int	Required. The port for the external endpoint. You can specify any port number you choose, but the port numbers specified for each role in the service must be unique. Possible values range between 1 and 65535, inclusive (Azure SDK version 1.7 or higher).
certificate	string	Required for an HTTPS endpoint. The name of a certificate defined by a Certificate element.
localPort	int	Optional. Specifies a port used for internal connections on the endpoint. The localPort attribute maps the external port on the endpoint to an internal port on a role. This is useful in scenarios where a role must communicate to an internal component on a port that different from the one that is exposed externally. If not specified, the value of localPort is the same as the port attribute. Set the value of localPort to “” to automatically assign an unallocated port that is discoverable using the runtime API. Possible values range between 1 and 65535, inclusive (Azure SDK version 1.7 or higher). The localPort* attribute is only available using the Azure SDK version 1.3 or higher.
ignoreRoleInstanceStatus	boolean	Optional. When the value of this attribute is set to true, the status of a service is ignored and the endpoint will not be removed by the load balancer. Setting this value to true useful for debugging busy instances of a service. The default value is false. Note An endpoint can still receive traffic even when the role is not in a Ready state.
loadBalancerProbe	string	Optional. The name of the load balancer probe associated with the input endpoint. For more information, see LoadBalancerProbe Schema.
