Administration Guidelines and Recommendations

Question

Are there guidelines or recommendations as to how one should structure the administration of Windows Azure services aside from what I'm finding here? -- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh531793.aspx  I need clarification on what happens
if I use all Organizational Accounts for Azure administration, as is suggested in the above link, and then my Azure-hosted ADFS farm craps out leaving none of my administrators able to authenticate to manage the Windows Azure account.  Should we be adding
a backup non-organizational Microsoft account as a Service Admin in order to protect against this possibility?

Answer 1

I suppose that's the question, isn't it?
If the authentication for all of our administrative accounts is handled by an ADFS farm hosted in Windows Azure, and
something happens to the ADFS farm that makes it unable to process logins, then conceivably none of my administrative accounts can log into Windows Azure to resolve the issue.  Should it be recommended that not all of the admin accounts be organizational
accounts (as defined by the link in my original post) and that an external Microsoft account should be added as a backup?  Am I missing something key here?  I'd rather not create an external Microsoft account with so much administrative clout if
I don't have to, but I don't really see another option.
