Host WLC in Azure Tenant

Is it possible to host the virtual HyperV WLC for Extreme Cloud IQ Controller within an Azure tenant?

The reason for this question is we might be running some old WAPs for a couple more years yet and want to get away from hosting the controller within our own virtual stack.

Hello,

Moving the local Hyper-V WLC image to an Azure tenant is not a supported deployment scenario. The image is optimized for on-premise hypervisors (local ESXi/Hyper-V) and has not been validated for the Azure network stack.

Thanks
