Azure worker role - prevent recycling

Question

I'm trying something a little weird with the azure cloud service technology. I want to use the autoscaling for both up and down changes.

I'm going to have some instances that are "In Use" though.

Is there any way in a cloud service to either: Mark an instance as non-recyclable or Abort the teardown of an instance in the WorkerRole.OnStop method

If not, what criteria does azure use to determine what gets recycled? Maybe I can keep the instance in a state where azure won't recycle it?

Thanks

Answer 1

See Azure Compute Service worker becomes "busy" following scale-up . In short, your role instances should not be recycling during scaling operations. If they are, then check the code in your Changing event per the link.
