Azure websites vs. cloud services

If the server has complex needs and the deployment is sophisticated, go for cloud services. If you prefer isolated hardware and need some control on the platform, but don't want to manage the bugs and patches, pick cloud apps. Websites would be a better option if running in shared space isn't a concern and IIS control is sufficient. Websites are a kind of software s a service product with abstraction from the source code. Also, at the time of creation, web site deployment requires no delays as only pushing over of bits is sufficient. Whereas, the cloud app deployment process needs spinning up of servers, building packages, which may pose hurdles. Cloud apps are a ‘product as a service’ kind of solution ideal when you require multi-tier apps that have a mix of front and back-end servers working simultaneously. Cloud apps also allow for some customisation, and they have a staging slot system which makes deployment of new versions easier.
