Answer 1

Windows Azure Management Cmdlets lists a number of AzureVM cmdlets.

• Add-AzureDataDisk : Adds a new data disk to a virtual machine object.
• Add-AzureProvisioningConfig : Adds the provisioning configuration to a Windows Azure virtual machine.

• Add-AzureEndpoint : Adds a new endpoint to a Windows Azure virtual machine

• Export-AzureVM : Exports a Windows Azure virtual machine state to a file.

.....and tonnes more

Do these not cover what you need?
