1.4 is the latest download link

Do i need to upgrade my app to 2010 before migrating

yes, SDK 1.4 does not support 2008

Is there any built in support for MVC

yes you will find a ASP.NET MVC 2 WebRole template`

What role I should use

this depends, try starting with Extra Small

Windows Azure hosts various roles, one of which is a WebRole. You can easily place an MVC project into this role for hosting on Azure.

Firstly, you will need to upgrade to VS2010 as I believe the latest SDK (Version 1.4) only supports VS2010. Download that from here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=7a1089b6-4050-4307-86c4-9dadaa5ed018&displaylang=en

Once you have it installed, you create a Cloud project in VS. You then add your existing MVC projects to this solution. You then add a web role to the Cloud project you created and select your MVC project as the target.

There are a few things extra you need, such as setting copy-local on some referenced assemblies.

Here is an excellent post on the subject: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jnak/archive/2008/10/28/asp-net-mvc-projects-running-on-windows-azure.aspx
