I think your original comment mentioned that you'd want console access. While I was grabbing a screenshot, it looks like you edited your comment and removed that, but I think that was a valid concern.

There's a web based console that's sadly not that well known. Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Lrw7lL1.png

Here's a video showing more of the features (it's from 2013, it looks better and more has been added since then, but it shows the idea): http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/azure-friday/exploring-the-su...

Wow, that's fantastic. One of the things I love about Google's cloud is the easy SSH-in-browser. If Azure has this I'd love to use it. I hope it's just not tied to that terrible new portal. It's just so slow (in rendering, esp. over RDP) and clunky and laggy and confusing. The old one is far better (and would be all I want if they'd just move all the services I never use to the bottom so I don't have to scroll).

Jon, this is something which should really be better promoted. I follow most of the interesting .net peeps on twitter & have listened to Scott H's pod + Herding Code for years.

This is the first time I've seen this, which is a shame, because it solves a lot of my misgivings with Azure..
