Configure commonly used settings for a cloud service

Hi All,

Have a question regarding Azure Cloud Service.  If I change a cloud service setting (Cloud Service -> Configure) in the portal, does the change persist if or when an instance is re-imaged?  For example, if I change the "DatabaseRetryCount" parameter from 5 to 10 and save it, this change will update the runtime configuration.  However, when Azure rebuild this role, is this change get carried over?

Thanks
