FULL IIS Web Roles previously using Hosted Web Core Only supported a single HTTP or HTTPS endpoint Web Roles now supporting Full IIS 7.0/7.5 Enables new scenarios Multiple IIS web sites Multiple virtual directories Configure IIS extensions Web Deploy for rapid development

VIRTUAL MACHINE ROLE Provides full control over the OS Image Create your VHD locally & upload to storage Deploy a service package that uses the custom OS image The role is your VM – in the CSCFG You configure and maintain the Operating System More control of the OS image than web/worker roles Responsibility to update and maintain the image Key considerations Image must be Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise No durability of OS image Primary use cases Long OS customization (>5min) Error prone or manual customization
