What is the best practise design for a scalable web application involving session state

The reason I ask this is recentlydesigned an application , initially wanted to use no session state to keep things simple, but eventually succumbed to the ease of the session state idea for storing state.

How does Microsoft Azure handle Session State?

Does anyone have any information on how state is managed in Azure when you choose to have multiple instances? It seems like InProc would be worthless and you would have to have another state server instance, or use the datastore to store the users state across servers.
