The main difference between the two is that Web Role runs with IIS support, while a Worker Role does not.

For example, a WebRole is a web application that will perform an operation that has no returns, and does not necessarily have low latency. It has an endpoint to be triggered via HTTP, but there is concern about IIS's timeout .

The same with Worker Role, but this is like a Console application, it does not require IIS to run, therefore there is no endpoint for it and no concern for timeout in>.
