V-Ray Next on Microsoft Azure?

[jeffbrown]

Hi folks,
I'm starting to test using MS Azure cloud rendering in my shop, and as I am the artist and I.T. department, I don't have a lot of time for setup. I'm looking at the Win 2016 virtual machines for batch rendering, and according to MS they have V-Ray 3.6. Wondering if the VM install will soon (or already) include V-Ray NEXT? Thanks for any info...

This is something that Azure Support guys should know better actually, did you try to get in contact with them?
Have you also consider V-Ray Cloud as an option? It already has a support for V-Ray Next.

Thank you, Svetlozar.
I discovered V-Ray Cloud a couple hours after I posted my question! So, I am encouraged by that. Already started as a beta-tester. I'll check w/ the Azure group, too, just to explore the options.
