title: Windows Azure - Can I run a Web Role and Worker Role on the same VM?
body: <p>I want a web role for my site however I also want that site to communicate with another standalone application I have developed.</p>
  
  <p>I see no need to have two VM's - can I have my worker role on the same VM as my wrb role?</p>
  
  <p>Whats to stop me RDP'ing in the uploading my application there?</p>
  
  <p>This role in particular requires connections on a high port number - do I have to change anything to allow this? (aparf from Windows Firewall on the VM)</p>
  
  <p>(So far Azure has made my life far more complicated than justing paying for a hosted server)</p>
