This isn't anything like Azure
If I'm guna build a cloud app, I don't want to handle the servers... I can't afford to build a cloud... if I could I'd just go get some rack space and put together a cluster that I owned. With Azure, MS handles the clusters, security, geo location, ext... I can just worry about making my app and driving users too it.
