A hosted service in Windows 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 Windows Azure or the Windows Azure Compute Emulator. Roles are defined in the service model for the hosted service. For more information, see Setting Up a Hosted Service for Windows 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"); } }
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
