Windows Azure Storage

Disk Storage

Images and disks are stored as Windows Azure Storage Blobs Data is triplicated All existing storage tools just work

Virtual Machine Names and DNS

Bring your own DNS serverUse your on-premise DNS serversDeploy a DNS server in Windows AzureUse public DNS services

Windows Azure provided DNS Resolves VMs by name within the same cloud serviceMachine names are modeled explicitly and registered in the DNS service

Full control over machine names
