Like, I suspect, many other developers, I think I need to know more about my deployment environment than perhaps is good for me. But with PaaS (platform-as-a-service) hosting, sometimes that can give, well, unexpected results.
For example, Windows Azure offers a (really very handy) facility to open a Remote Desktop session to a Windows Server host that runs an Azure instance. You’re logged in as local Administrator, too, so you can cause some serious damage in there if you want.
Or even if you don’t want.
