1. We use wheels to install cffi, cryptograpy and Pillow library, because in Python 3.4 normal pip installation for these libraries may fail and return error "Unable to find vcvarsall.bat". If you can successfully install all references just by defining the name in requirements, you may safely skip above step 8 - 10.

2. Startup and Runtime task logs are located in the C:\Resources\Directory{role}\LogFiles folder in the Cloud Service instance. Check ConfigureCloudService.txt if any library in requirements.txt is not successfully installed. Check LaunchWorker.err.txt for WorkerRole runtime errors.
