What is Azure Cloud:- Microsoft has been building highly scalable applications in datacenters around the world—applications that have global reach and high availability, and offer great functionality to users. Azure allows you to take advantage of the same infrastructure to deploy your own applications, with the corresponding capabilities to reduce your maintenance requirements, maximize performance and minimize costs. Though we know that cloud adds lot of value but that only happens when it is done right and hence we need have thought of  below before taking a call:- 1. Always plan for the long-term .

To implement cookieless sessions, you don't have to modify your programming model—a simple change in the  web.config  file does the trick. But with that can come uncovered scenario and you would end up spending considerable time fixing it up just like I did.
