How should I configure Jenkins CI (or Hudson) to run on Azure?

I like Jenkins, and it strikes me that being able to spin-up extra build slaves on-demand in Azure could work well.

Besides, the less on-premise hardware I ha开发者_StackOverflow中文版ve to maintain, the better.

Has anyone configured Jenkins (or, indeed, Hudson) to run in Azure? Technically I suspect it shouldn't be too tricky - I'd appreciate pointers to resources that might help. The tricky bit is likely to be persistence of the build state.

I have done that, it seems to be working fine for me. There is a little bit nuances, but generally works.
