How to install SCCM at Azure?

Question
-
Hi,
I am using SCCM 2012 R2.
The main problem is Temporary Storage partition at Azure VMs. SCCM use this partition and I get problems with Reporting Point (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/41482001-c51b-4380-8d26-9b5d56969b3f/reporting-point-role-autoinstall-several-times).
A partial solution is: NO_SMS_ON_DRIVE.SMS file (http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2012/09/17/controlling-configuration-manager-2012-using-hidden-files.aspx)
But the Temporary Storage partition flush at restart.
The questions are:
Does Azure officially supports SCCM?
What would be the procedure to install SCCM at Azure?
Better not install SCCM at Azure?
Thanks in advance!

You should not be using the temp storage at all. Create additional drives and attach for what ever you need. I have one for database and one for content, each set at a TB. Why would you want to use the temp?Friday, October 24, 2014 11:55 AM

Thanks Brad.
I have created additional disks, but information about Reporting Point role always go to Temporary Storage disk. I am not used/selected/configured SCCM to use Temporary Storage disk.
What is the meaning of "TB"?
Thanks.

Thanks.
But the following not states SCCM is installed at Azure, the following states the manage of Azure VMs by SCCM:
Today, we’re happy to announce that we are enabling support for managing Windows Azure Virtual Machines using System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1 or later and, System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection SP1 or later. That means, using the same products and skills you use for your on-premises datacenters, you can continue to manage your servers in the cloud

I´m so sorry Jorgen, I did not see the following:
A single all-in-one Primary site running in Windows Azure Virtual Machines manages Windows Servers or Linux running in Windows Azure Virtual Machines on the same virtual network.
Thanks for your help.
