Supports Various VM SizesSize set on Role in Service Definition - All instances of role will be of equal size Service can have multiple rolesBalance of Performance per node vs. High Availability from multiple nodes

Cloud ready

More small instances == more redundancy

Some scenarios will benefit from more coresWhere moving data >$ parallel overheadE.g. Video processing, Stateful services (DBMS)

Don’t just throw big VMs at every problem

Scale out architectures have natural parallelism

Role Lifecycle

Worker role

Queue Polling WorkerPoll and Pop Messages within while(true) loopE.g. Map/Reduce pattern, background image processing

Listening Worker RoleCreate TcpListener or WCF Service HostE.g. Run a .NET SMTP server or WCF Service

External Process Worker RoleOnStart or Run method executes Process.Start()Startup Task installs or executes background/foreground processCustom Role Entry Point (executable or .Net assembly)E.g. Run a database server, web server, distributed cache

Web Role

All features of a worker role + IIS 7 or 7.5ASP.NET 3.5 SP1 or 4.0 – 64bitHostsWebforms or MVCFastCGI applications (e.g. PHP)Multiple Websites

Http(s)Web/Worker HybridCan optionally implement RoleEntryPoint
