Cosmos (C# OS): running on Azure?

I've been looking around and doing some Googling to try and find out if you can run Cosmos, the C# operating system, on Windows Azure.

Ideally, I'd like to use it to run singular instances of applications, such as websites or a service/data layers. They'd be scalable and report back to the load balancing instances, etc.

Haven't managed to find anything through my (albeit somewhat limited) research. Any ideas, knowledge or suggestions as to what I should do about this? Also, some general pointers about my idea above would be more than welcome and appreciated.

Let me know if you need any further detail. I haven't asked many questions on here.

Thanks.

The VM Role only supports Windows Server 2008 R2 as the operating system. The Windows Azure Integration Components which are required to interact with the Fabric Controller are specific to Server 2008 R2.

This means even if you were to install the OS in a VM Role, you would not have the ability to hook the VM instance into Windows Azure.

I'm not sure if any other cloud provider would be able to support this functionality either, but I would love to hear more about it if you are able to figure it out.

There is no native support for COSMOS, but you could install it on a virtual machine on an Azure box (which is already a VM). I don't this is a very good idea.
