|---|---|
| Virtual machines per cloud service 1 | 50 |
| Input endpoints per cloud service 2 | 150 |
1 Virtual machines created by using the classic deployment model instead of Azure Resource Manager are automatically stored in a cloud service. You can add more virtual machines to that cloud service for load balancing and availability.
2 Input endpoints allow communications to a virtual machine from outside the virtual machine's cloud service. Virtual machines in the same cloud service or virtual network can automatically communicate with each other.
