Azure allows you to host different worker roles in the cloud where you do not have to manage the operating system, the backups, the load balancing, etc. These roles could be an ASP.NET app, a WCF web service, just a background worker with no IIS parts at all, or even in the future having a VM that you can put up and use for whatever you want. Microsoft manages the power, backups, etc for you so that you can focus on your application.

I use my Azure account to host an online database for a set of phone apps (WP7, iPhone, and Android) to all share. I think that if you need horse power that is temp and dont want to spend alot of money, a cloud solution is worth looking at. There is also AppHarbor which is similar to Azure but is targetting smaller developers.

Azure is an Cloud platform, like as App Engine. You can't download and install it. But you can target you dev on Azure by using the Azure SDK
