Larger storage as well as higher IOPS is now a VM that can hang on 16T of Storage (1T*16).

The first day, roughly speaking, is to provide the first IaaS, again declare D disk for temporary space do not store user data.

The next day, the network settings change relatively large, including the geographical group aspects, Microsoft is also continuously improve this aspect.

On the third day, Microsoft love Liunx, Azure love Liunx. Continuous support for the open source community. Of course Chef/puppet can also be used to manage large-scale Windows hosts (individuals think that the way Azure New Portal is managed by resources can reduce the likelihood of a lot of third-party plug-ins http://www.cnblogs.com/SignalTips/p/ 4112379.html)

On the fourth day, ad is not very familiar, AAD so there is only one concept. SharePoint does not understand that SQL Server (which is the one formerly known as SQL Azure) and the comparison and differentiation of SQL Server Database for Windows (IaaS) (obviously the more powerful hosts are running the IaaS layer). The management part of website is always easy to understand.
