I have two VMs pointed to a Azure oldname.cloudapp.net url I want to change that without deleting VMs.

Set-AzureService does not change service name! It only changes label name and description.

I can create new cloud service, but how make my current two VMs point to new URL AND delete the old one?

You cannot rename a cloudapp.net. You need to create a new service and redeploy:

  • If oldname.cloudapp.net contains Virtual Machines, delete the existing virtual machines (but not the vhd's) from the old url and deploy them to the new url. The overall effect will be like turning off the VM's and turning them back on.
  • If it contains web/workers, you just need to redeploy the package and configuration.

Note: In both cases, the new cloudapp.net will have a different external IP address.

I would also add that you shouldn't care about the .cloudapp.net name. Ideally you have a custom domain name (ie. myapp.com) with a CNAME pointing to the .cloudapp.net name. This way you can change your cloudapp.net name at any time and all you care about is updating your CNAME record.
