Since the commercial release of Windows Azure many questions have been asked about the relationship between the billing portal and the developer portal, for example:

  • How does a subscription in the billing portal relate to the development portal?
  • What is the difference between the Account Owner and the Service Administrator?
  • How many services can I create in one project?
  • How many instances of compute is a service limited to?
  • Which limits are variable and how do I go about changing them?

Patrick Butler Monterde has put together a great post that explains the answers to all this and more. Please let us know if we missed anything.
