Web Role Worker Role
Virtual machines in the CloudTwo Flavors:
A place for your application code to run…Web role is simply a Virtual Machine with IIS pre-configuredWorker role is for non-web based processing code, back-end business processesYou can actually connect to your web/worker roles – they are just VM’sYou package your code/artifacts and Windows Azure bootstraps a VM, installs the code and starts up the VM for you.

Management
Service Management API for Managing and Monitoring Applications in Windows Azure
Provides programmatic access to platform functionality
Used to deploy, manage, and monitor applications
Powerful REST API, performed over SSL and mutually authenticated using X.509 certificatesMay be accessed from within application running in Windows Azure, or directly over the Internet from any application
PowerShell commands using the same APIs can be used to script management functions
What can you do with PowerShell?
AutomationQuery, Manage and Configure Virtual Machines across multiple subscriptions, cloud services and storage accounts.
Virtual NetworkingCompletely Configure VNETs from a Script
Provision Fully Configured Virtual MachinesDomain JoinedStorage and Networking Configured
Remote ManagementManage SQL Databases, Configuration, Diagnostics, Deployments, and Azure assets (Affinity Groups, Storage Accounts, Keys, etc..)
Getting StartedUse: Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile and Import-AzurePublishSettingsFileTo Import Downloaded Publish Profile (.publishsettings) http://windows.azure.com/download/publishprofile.aspx
Automatically configures Subscription ID, Certificate, Service Endpoint and Subscription Name.
Multiple Subscription Support Get-AzureSubscription | foreach { Select-AzureSubscription $_.SubscriptionName # Perform Management Operation Against Each Subscription}
DemoGetting Started with Azure Subscription Credentials in Powershell
Virtual Machine ManagementQuick VM Provisioning ModeSupports VM Creation in a Single Cmdlet
Create Multiple Pre-Defined VMs in a BatchNew-AzureVM -VMs $vm1, $vm2, $vm3
Advanced Provisioning Configuration ModeProvision With: Endpoints, Data DisksConfigure: Cache Settings for OS/Data Disks and Subnet Names
Setting the current storage account
Returns Storage AccountGet-AzureStorageAccount | Select StorageAccountName
Cmdlets like New-AzureQuickVM will use this Account
Sets the Current Storage AccountSet-AzureSubscription 'somesub1' -CurrentStorageAccount 'mystorage‘
