Azure Cloud Service

Since a few months i'm using Azure services. Yesterday I created an Azure Cloud Service that is running fine. What I don't understand is how to scale it up or down. The default value is "A1 (1 core, 1.75 GB memory)", but when I look at the pricing page, I see different options, for example A0, A1, A2, A3 etc.

http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/cloud-services/

Can anyone tell me how to scale for more or less memory. I like to start with the A0 instance, but I can't find the option.

Thanks!

You can actually do this in two ways:

  1. You can edit the ServiceDefinition.csdef configuration file in your cloud project and set the vmsize attribute to ExtraSmall (or the size you wish to use for your service).
  2. By using the graphic interface: double click on the role you want to modify (or right click, then select Preferences) and select the VM size you wish from the list.

Remember that to change the VM size for your deployed roles you will need to do a new deployment. But, if you want to change the instance count, you can scale your role while it's running.
