Also take into account that rely on the GDI API won't work in Azure App Services (which is where most new azure based web apps reside) [1]. It would be nice if this reduced some of the issues with 3rd party libraries (pdf generation etc) running inside of app services. We've had some issues having to keep old web/worker roles around for this exact reason and it costs us more money.
