title: Is it possible to restart IIS on a Azure web role without restarting the process?
body: <p>I have a site running on an Azure web role and I can force restart the application by  modifying the web.config but if I want to restart IIS I have been told that I should never do this manually via remote desktop and that instead I should restart the Azure hosted process.</p>
  
  <p>This <a href="http://www.britishdeveloper.co.uk/2012/01/do-not-iisreset-on-azure.html" rel="noreferrer">article seems to agree</a> with this opinion.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that restarting a process can take nearly 10-15 minutes to restart. Is there a quicker way to achieve this?</p>
  
  <p>I am currently using the windows.azure.com UI to do all deployments and management.</p>
