PowerShell-based
The MMC experience is based on the
Windows Azure Platform PowerShell cmdlets. If you don't like the management user interface, you can still use the underlying cmdlets to perform management operations within PowerShell. You can also use the source code with the PowerShell cmdlets to
see how to use the Windows Azure Management and Diagnostics APIs.
