Microsoft released a set of feature reach management tools for the Azure Services. It manages your cloud based workflows, identity/access control rules, and SQL Data Services data. Much better than the Azure Services portal management tools. You can download the tools here.

The Azure Services Management Tools include an MMC SnapIn and Windows PowerShell cmdlets that enable a user to configure and manage several Azure Services including: SQL Data Services, .NET Access Control Services, and the .NET Workflow Service. These tools can be helpful when developing and testing applications that use Azure Services. For instance, using these tools you can easily browse and query data in SQL Data Services, view and change .NET Access Control Rules, and deploy and view workflows.

All of the source code for the MMC snap-in and the PowerShell cmdlets is provided with this sample. You can use and extend the code for your own applications. However, the Azure Services Management Tools is not supported by Microsoft product support.
