Free: (5) concurrent connections per website instance

Standard: (350) concurrent connections per website instance

Answer 1

I see this has now been changed to (from here):

Free: (5) connections

Shared: (35) connections

Basic: (350) connections

Standard: no limit

Answer 2

It makes sense that Azure Websites have a limit on concurrent connected users. Are you really gonna need to support 10k of them ? it looks like you're gonna have to look elsewhere for hosting, because 10 instances of standard web sites is 3500 users max :-/

If you're using ASP.NET with signalR, you may have more luck with Azure Web Roles (the service bus/signalr nuget package makes it really easy to build scaling applications without worrying about sharing client states between your web role instances).
