Hi there!

What’s inside? first-time wizard

Setup git (I’ll spare you the username/password)

The best ide ever – echo

Have you noticed the “reserved” option? you could actually scale it to a dedicated VM (or a few), using the exact same simple deployment model.

want it

The Web Sites feature is still in preview mode. To start using Preview Features like Virtual Network and Web Sites, request access on the ‘Preview Features’ page under the ‘account’ tab, after you log into your Windows Azure account. Don’t have an account? Sign-up for a free trial here
