Preview of the new Windows Azure portal

I just signed up for the preview of the new Windows Azure portal.

The main page showing health status of all of Microsoft’s global datacenters. Check out the new datacenter in Brazil. (Preview).

Here’s the new “New” menu.

When I chose to create a new website, this is what happens. It’s similar to the Windows 8 interface.

Keeping track of your Azure spending.

The all-new Gallery.

And the new mascot, which appears to be a shark or fish of some kind. Hmm.
