How do I change the size of an Azure Cloud Service Worker Role?

Question

We have a number of worker roles in Azure under a Cloud Service that are set to size Small by default. This doesn't seem to be configurable either in the Azure Portal or the Preview Portal, so how do I go about changing the size of the worker role without using PowerShell?

Answer 1

This can be done in Visual Studio by right clicking on the role in question under the sub folder of "Roles", choosing properties and then there should be a drop down for VM size. Re-publish and the size change should be reflected.
