Remarks

A hosted service in Azure can be defined to contain web roles, worker roles, and VM roles. A role is a component of an application that performs specific functionality. A role instance is a running copy of the role in Azure or the Azure Compute Emulator. Roles are defined in the service model for the hosted service. For more information, see Setting Up a Hosted Service for Azure.

The following code example shows how to retrieve information about role instances:

foreach (var role in RoleEnvironment.Roles) 
{
   foreach (var roleInstance in role.Value.Instances)      
   {
      Trace.WriteLine("Role Instance ID: " + roleInstance.Id, "Information");
      foreach (RoleInstanceEndpoint instanceEndpoint in roleInstance.InstanceEndpoints.Values) 
      {
         Trace.WriteLine("Instance endpoint IP address and port: " + instanceEndpoint.IPEndpoint, "Information"); 
      }
      Trace.WriteLine("Role instance fault domain: " + roleInstance.FaultDomain, "Information");
      Trace.WriteLine("Role for the instance: " + roleInstance.Role.Name, "Information");
      Trace.WriteLine("Role instance update domain: " + roleInstance.UpdateDomain, "Information");
   }
}
