Suppose my Azure role is notified that it will be terminated soon and technically can clean up local resources after itself (temporary files for example). Should it do so?
I’m not asking about whether someone will see my leftover temporary files – just how my role can be a polite good Azure citizen.
Does it make sense for the role to clean up local resources or should it just leave everything as is?
Like Stuart said, there’s no reason to do any local storage cleanup. You either leave it for yourself to use in the future (which is not guaranteed), or you have the local storage cleaned up automatically after your role instance shuts down.
What you do want to do during shutdown is relesae blob leases, close open sessions, shut down database connections, etc. You won’t have this opportunity if the Guest OS (or Host OS) crashes, but you always want to handle graceful shutdowns when possible.
