Azure Server Management Tools (Preview)

Microsoft recently released Azure Server Management Tools preview for web-based management tools for Windows Server 2016 Technical Preview running on-premises as well as in Azure.

Currently, Server Management Tools offer the following capabilities:

View and change system configuration
View performance across various resources and manage processes and services
Manage devices attached to the server
View event logs
View the list of installed roles and features
Use a PowerShell console to manage and automate

Having server management tools available in Azure gives me the flexibility to manage my on-premises Windows Server 2016 servers and also Azure Windows Server 2016 Servers using a single portal.
