I have been researching for the past two hours and am still unclear if I Jira and Confluence require a VM or if I can install them on an Azure website instance. I read a very informative article by our friend Scott that indicates for low traffic sites a VM is not necissary. I have also read this Microsoft post regarding Azure VM's vs Websites vs Webroles.
But none of that is answering my question - can I install Jira on an Azure website (shared hosting) or do I need to shell out for an Azure VM?
