Input endpoints per cloud service2	150	150

¹Virtual machines created in Service Management (instead of Resource Manager) are automatically stored in a cloud service. You can add more virtual machines to that cloud service for load balancing and availability. See How to Connect Virtual Machines with a Virtual Network or Cloud Service.

²Input 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. See How to Set Up Endpoints to a Virtual Machine.
