Chapter 2. Create and manage virtual machines
Virtual machines (VMs) are part of the Microsoft Azure Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering. With VMs, you can deploy Windows Server and Linux-based workloads and have greater control over the infrastructure, your deployment topology, and configuration as compared to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings such as Websites and Cloud Services. That means you can more easily migrate existing applications and VMs without modifying code or configuration settings, but still benefit from Azure features such as management through a centralized web-based portal, monitoring, and scaling.
