Local Development Server
From this control, you can specify whether to use Internet Information Services (IIS) or IIS Express when you run or debug this application on a local computer. See Running IIS in the Compute Emulator.Warning
Security Warning If you host your application on IIS Express, the application runs under your user account. Therefore, local resources may be vulnerable to attack if you’re testing an application that has security flaws.
Emulator
From this control, you can specify whether to use Emulator Express or the full emulator. By default, you use the full emulator, which requires that you run Visual Studio as an administrator when you work with your project. If you use Emulator Express, you can run as a normal user, but it has some restrictions. For example, you can have multiple roles, but each role can have only one instance. See Using Emulator Express to Run and Debug a Cloud Service Locally.Warning
Note In Azure SDK 2.1, Emulator Express is still in development and is intended to be used only for evaluation purposes. Please use with caution.
