Windows Azure and the Azure CLI

Windows Azure

Windows Azure is Microsoft's cloud platform. At high level it provides two things:

Compute

Deploy your application workloads to public / private cloud and let them run in Windows Azure. We support multiple models including:

  • Infrastructure As a Service [IAAS] through Virtual Machines
  • Platform As a Service [PAAS] via Web sites and Cloud Services
  • Backend As a Service [BAAS] via Azure Mobile Services. Node is supported in ALL :-)

Services

Capabilities provided by Windows Azure that you can use within your applications whether they are running on premise or in the cloud

  • Storage Services (Tables, Blobs, SQL)
  • Messaging (Queues and Service Bus)
  • Media Services, CDN, etc.
  • Add-ons, 3rd part services like MongoDB, Pusher

Azure CLI

A cross platform command line tool for managing Windows Azure Compute and Services

Downloading your credentials (publishsettings)

This will take you to the Azure portal to login and download a publish settings file.

Importing credentials

You should change to the directory where the publishsettings file was downloaded. Once you have imported you are now ready to go work with Azure.
