Question: How can I determine this same type of list when using PowerShell to manage my Azure subscription?

Answer: Virtual networks are bound to Azure cloud service deployments for IaaS Virtual Machines and PaaS web/worker roles. Use the following PowerShell code snippet to display the list of cloud services, roles and instances that are connected to a particular Azure Virtual Network.

(Get-AzureService |

Where-Object `

%{
Get-AzureRole `
-ServiceName $_.ServiceName `
-InstanceDetails |
Select-Object `
