Create a new Azure Cloud Service (extended Support)

These samples cover various ways to create a new Azure Cloud Service (extended support) deployment.

Create new Cloud Service with single role

# Create role profile object
PS C:\> $role = New-AzCloudServiceRoleProfilePropertiesObject -Name 'ContosoFrontend' -SkuName 'Standard_D1_v2' -SkuTier 'Standard' -SkuCapacity 2
PS C:\> $roleProfile = @{role = @($role)}

# Create network profile object
PS C:\> $publicIp = Get-AzPublicIpAddress -ResourceGroupName ContosOrg -Name ContosIp
PS C:\> $feIpConfig = New-AzCloudServiceLoadBalancerFrontendIPConfigurationObject -Name 'ContosoFe' -PublicIPAddressId $publicIp.Id
PS C:\> $loadBalancerConfig = New-AzCloudServiceLoadBalancerConfigurationObject -Name 'ContosoLB' -FrontendIPConfiguration $feIpConfig
PS C:\> $networkProfile = @{loadBalancerConfiguration = $loadBalancerConfig}

# Read Configuration File
$cscfgFile = ""
$cscfgContent = Get-Content $cscfgFile | Out-String

# Create cloud service
$cloudService = New-AzCloudService                                              `
                  -Name ContosoCS                                               `
                  -ResourceGroupName ContosOrg                                  `
