On June 7, 2012 in San Francisco, Scott Guthrie encouraged the world to Meet the New Windows Azure. As part of this milestone, Scott announced the availability of several Windows Azure Preview Features including a new Virtual Machine capability. This exciting new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering makes it possible to deploy fully functional virtual machine environments in the cloud that can function independently, extend your on-premise IT environment using Virtual Networks, and interoperate with other Windows Azure cloud service offerings.
