"New Virtual Machine Role" option in Visual Studio

I have installed Visual Studio and Azure SDK v1.3. All I am trying to do is follow the steps on this tutorial Task5 step 4 http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/gg5开发者_运维问答02180 .

The only one I can not see is "New Virtual Machine Role" I am new to azure, does anyone know what I am missing?

It's currently in beta and you have to request access before you can access the feature.

1. Log into the Azure portal
2. On the left there is a folders labeled Beta Programs, click that.
3. You'll see a list of available betas. (VM Role should be here)
4. Select it and hit join "(or request, I can't remember the exact word)

Once approved (not sure how long it takes anymore, prob pretty quick) you'll have the VM Images folder and can follow that tutorial.

The answer is on an e-mail sent to you by wacc@microsoft.com.

"After you have installed the Windows Azure Tools, please run this additional script to enable the VM Role features in the Visual Studio development environment: 32-bit or 64-bit."

Select your environment and run the script.
