Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Then, you are ready to upload your .vhd file."

A block of code is set as follows:

New-AzureAlert `
    -alertName "High CPU" `
    -alertDescription "Higher than 85% CPU utilization" `
    -subscriptionId $subscriptionId `

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Add-AzureVhd -Destination "<BlobStorageURL>/<vhdimage>/<VHDName>.vhd" -LocalFilePath <PathToVHDFile> 

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Click on the Create Storage Account button to create the storage account."
