Two most important free Windows Azure tools all Azure developers must have:
1. SQL Azure Migration Wizard by George Huey:
Provides all data migration features to transfer your database along with data to SQL Azure and down to local SQL Server. In addition, it has the coolest feature to analyse your database before moving to SQL Azure. It reports failure well ahead if you have used CLR and Full Text Search features in your local database. These are not yet supported by current version of SQL Azure.
It can be download from Codeplex.com
2. Azure Storage Explorer:
Very nice another small application that allows developers to interrogate Blog storage. I have always used it to see whether the data have been uploaded to Blob container or not. Whether any message has been written to the Queue or not. It's always handy. It gives you a extra security to make you feel whether your code is working as it should be :)
It can be downloaded from Codeplex.com
