You can, if necessary, influence the OS edition (more specific the OS family) and the version (the update level) for the host VM of your Cloud Service.
To include this selection in your configuration, you have to make the following changes:
- In the first line of the Service Configuration File (ServiceConfiguration.cscfg), you must add the attributes osFamily="" and osVersion="" to the ServiceConfiguration element.
- Then fill the attributes with values:
<ServiceConfiguration serviceName="<service-name>" osFamily="<osfamily-number>" osVersion="<os-version>" schemaVersion="<schema-version>">
</ServiceConfiguration>
- Valid values for the osFamily attribute can be found in the following table:
