Azure is Microsofts Cloud based service, similar to Amazon or the great Apache Cloudstack. Microsoft Open Technologies provides a VMDepot for sharing images for Azure. Which is great cause it can save you quite a bit of time!

The OpenMeetings project made version v2.1.1 of Apache OpenMeetings available at VMDepot:

For anyone not familiar with Azure those are step by step instructions on how to get your copy of the VM running:

1) Login your Azure admin panel at https://manage.windowsazure.com
