should I use azure connect in this scenario

My webapplication hosted on windows azure needs to communicate with TFS Server. my webroles connect to TFS using a uri similar to (http://ed12-ektfsp-01:8080/tfs/eeol/ ) While on azure I found that my webrole failed to communicate with tfs server.

  1. Do I need to enable "azure connect" for for my azure webrole to communicate with tfs ?
  2. Do I need to remote into my tfs server and install azure connect into my TFS server for the azure connect to get enabled ?
  3. Why azure cannot communicate using "http://ed12-ektfsp-01:8080/tfs/eeol/ " ?

    YES.

    Do I need to remote into my tfs server and install azure connect into my TFS server for the azure connect to get enabled ?

    YES. And add both the WebRole and the TFS Server into single Connection Group.

    Because the address given is known only within your corporate network, and only resolved by the Company's DNS server. Noone outside can access this address.
