New Project Types
Azure Tools for Visual Studio create new project types that you can use in Visual Studio.
Two Projects

Development Storage
The first time you run your project, the Development Storage gets created. Although this is flat data, it's actually stored inside SQL Server Express.
Development Fabric
The Development Fabric includes a user interface for managing the services. Included is the log output for each.
User Interface
The Development Storage also includes a UI for managing the data.
