Include RAM usage as a standard metric on the portal

Parity of deployment options between Cloud Services and WebSites
Love this Azure stuff but... I got stumped trying to set up a cloud service the way I wanted to.
Please provide the same deployment options for Cloud Services that Websites enjoy. Very few individual developers use TFS we mostly use GitHub, Bitbucket et al.1 voteHey Iain, we will bring more and more symmetry between these different compute options, across WebSites, CloudServices, and Virtual Machines.

Add protection against deleting a production deployment
When you're running a mission critical service in Azure as one or more cloud services, deleting the production deployments my mistake can become catastrophic.
Not only because the service is suddenly out, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because you lose your public IP address. In many cases (ours included) losing the VIP reservation means weeks of downtime because we integrate with lots of banks and insurance companies many of which have a rigorous and time-consuming process for opening up their firewalls for incoming and outgoing calls to the new VIP.
As long as you either always deploy to staging…

Define server features in Role configuration file which will be installed when provisioning a VM.
I'm trying to add FTP site to my web role.
It requires adding features to the VM by using startup script that install the FTP server.
It could be very cool If I could select the features I need for my role according to the VM OS and you will install them when provisioning new VM.3 votes -
Provide a way that a worker role can start triggered by an "Enterprise-Condition-Variable"
Currently it seems that worker roles can only start as a result of busy waiting on the Azure Queue. This can lead to very expensive scenarios. Why not enabling a worker role to be started from a enterprise event (e.g. from ESB)
