I blogged about this a while ago: Controlling your instances in the Windows Azure Compute Emulator. At the time of writing this article, I was using version 1.7 of the SDK. I noticed that, when using SDK 1.8, killing instances when debugging did work correctly.
So if you want to scale down in the emulator you’ll need to run the following command referencing an updated ServiceConfiguration.csconf file (with Instances count = 1 instead of 2):
You can also simulate a failure on one of your instances by killing a WaIISHost.exe process.
