# Running FRE inside Azure Services

This section provides the instructions on deploying and running ABBYY FineReader Engine 12 for Windows in Azure Services: Azure App Service and Azure Cloud Service. The following scenarios considering specifics of each service are prepared:

1. [Azure App Service](/fine-reader/engine/distribution/distribution-windows/running-abbyy-finereader-engine-inside-azure-services/running-in-azure-app-service) scenario using as an example a pair of WebJob projects.
2. [Azure Cloud Service](/fine-reader/engine/distribution/distribution-windows/running-abbyy-finereader-engine-inside-azure-services/running-in-azure-cloud-service) scenario using as an example a Worker role project.

For both services, you need almost the same toolset to develop your application. You will also need an App Service Plan with at least 1 GB of space to upload and store the archive with the ABBYY FineReader Engine files.
