title: requirements for running sharepoint on azure
body: <p>I am looking to get Microsoft Azure to run Sharepoint on, and I intend to use a virtual machine. Right now, I am trying to figure out what size of virtual machine to get, and how many. According to this web site: <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262485.aspx</a>, I need a web server with 8GB of RAM and a database server with probably 16GB of RAM. But, when looking on Azure's website, I don't see anything about servers, I just see virtual machines, and SQL databases. So this is why I am wondering how many virtual machines, and what size, it will take to run Sharepoint. Thanks.</p>
