更大纵向扩展

更大的存储的以及的更高的IOPS，现在是一个VM可以挂在16T的存储（1T*16）。

第一天，大致是说现在提供先IaaS的东西，再次申明D盘为临时空间不要存储用户数据。

第二天，网络的设置变化比较大，包括地缘组方面，微软也在不断完善这方面。

第三天，Microsoft Love Liunx ，Azure Love Liunx。对于开源社区不断地支持。当然Chef / Puppet也可以用来管理大规模Windows主机（个人认为Azure New portal以资源的管理方式会降低很多的第三方插件的可能性http://www.cnblogs.com/SignalTips/p/4112379.html）

第四天，AD不是很熟悉，AAD所以只有一个概念。SharePoint不了解，SQL Server（就是以前叫做SQL Azure的那个）以及和SQL Server Database for Windows（IaaS）的对比和差异性比较（显然前面更强悍的主机就是奔着IaaS层去的）。WebSite的管理部分还是一如既往地通俗易懂。
