If I create an Azure Linux VM using PowerShell, how can I get its new ssh host key, so that I can install it in my local ssh/putty? Preferably the solution is also PowerShell code. Old question, but for newcomers there is nowadays an alternative available by using run-command in Azure CLI. There is probably an equivalent for PowerShell too, but I have not investigated that. az vm run-command invoke --name <your-vm-name> --command-id RunShellScript --scripts "cat /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub" will output a json document from which you can extract the public key. Beware though that this

One great advantage of using Azure Websites is that I can get secure HTTP (HTTPS) without doing nothing: I simply type https://xyz.azurewebsites.net and it works. I don't have to worry about certificates because I use the subdomain that Azure gives me (in the example it would be xyz ) So, what I usually do is that people come by through some registered domain I have, eg. http://www.my-application-homepage.com , and there, if they want to use my application, I redirect them to the subdomain at azurewebsites.net , using HTTPS.

I actually want to know what these roles are for. What is their significance coding wise or storage wise? EDIT 3/3/2013 - updated to reference UDP endpoints, Virtual Machines, and more languages EDIT 6/6/2013 - updated to reflect the discontinuation of VM Role, and update to web/worker role baseline OS images to Windows Server 2012 Good link by @Vladimir. A bit more clarification: All roles (web, worker) are essentially Windows Server. Web
