If I install something on my Azure Virtual Machine, lets say NotePad++ and some personal files, will that data be lost if the virtual machine is shut down/rebooted?
I know that on Amazon EC2 that data is lost after the instance is shutdown and trying to confirm if Azure has this same annoying “feature”.
If you’re talking about Windows Azure’s new (in preview) VM feature, which you probably are, the answer is that you won’t lose your storage. VMs are backed by persistent storage.
By the way, the answer is the same on EC2 if you’re using an EBS-backed VM.
