Async/await in azure worker role causing the role to recycle

Question

I am playing around with Tasks, Async and await in my WorkerRole (RoleEntryPoint).

I had some unexplained recycles and i have found out now that if something is running

Answer 1

I would recommend a lower value for Task.Delay like 1000 (ms). I suspect that the worker role cannot respond quickly enough to the health check. The role is then considered unresponsive and restarted.

Make sure the Run method never returns with something like this

while (true)
{               
    Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

Or with Task.Delay in your case.
