Now Azure just needs to hurry up and release .Net 4.5 on their servers. Until then no MVC4 ,WebAPI, or Entity Framework 5.

Scroll down to New Features for a list of changes: http://www.asp.net/whitepapers/mvc4-release-notes

You can bin deploy MVC 4 sites to Azure (or regular servers running .NET 4). I have a couple MVC 4 sites running on Azure right now.

You can deploy .NET 4.5 to Azure right now if you use the Virtual Machines instead of the SDK. We're running a Windows Server 2012 VM with several .NET 4.5 sites on it right now for advancedrei.com and its supplemental sites.

You can also chain the .NET 4.5 installer to run inside a Windows Azure Web Role on deploy, but that is a bigger pain in the ass than a VM.

FYI .NET 4.5 will be supported in all roles later this month.

This is coming very soon. Scott Guthrie mentioned a few time frames in his recent blog post on Windows Azure Web Sites. http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2012/09/17/announcing...
